Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) (Portuguese)

What is meant by lockout tagout?

lockout tagout is the full form of LOTO that refers to the requirement for employees who have to fix electrical machines frequently. Sometimes when the worker is fixing a machine he has to turn the machine off by unplugging the supply switch. But there is a possibility that someone else who doesn't know that the worker is fixing the machine can turn the power on by plugging the machine in which can electrocute or even kill the worker. In that case, as per Osha the worker or fixer has to follow LOTO protocols.

How can workers follow Loto protocol?

The best way to follow LOTO is to lock the machine while working so that no one else can start it and to place a tag that says that no one should start the machine as someone is fixing it. This way everyone will be aware that there is a worker in the machine and no one has to start it unless his work is finished.
