The Risk of Non-Compliance
What Happens When LOTO Procedures Are Wrong — or Missing?
A common error when dealing with Lockout/Tagout is making assumptions about which equipment requires procedures. Not having full knowledge of this OSHA requirement can lead to fines or injuries at your facility.
Costly OSHA Citations
Missing or inadequate machine-specific LOTO procedures are among the most frequently cited OSHA violations — resulting in fines that can reach tens of thousands of dollars per incident.
Worker Safety Incidents
Outdated, text-heavy, or assumption-based procedures leave employees unable to locate energy-isolating points — dramatically increasing the risk of serious injuries during maintenance.
Incomplete Program Coverage
Many facilities assume they have full coverage — only to discover during an OSHA audit that entire categories of equipment were overlooked. Total compliance requires expert identification of every piece of qualifying equipment.

29 CFR 1910.147 — The Control of Hazardous Energy
OSHA's Lockout/Tagout standard requires employers to establish machine-specific written procedures for controlling hazardous energy during the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment. Failure to comply exposes your facility to serious injury risk and significant financial penalties. Quality Lockout LLC ensures you meet this requirement fully — with no gaps and no assumptions.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Not every machine requires a written procedure — but many more do than most facilities assume. OSHA allows an exception only when the machine has no potential for stored energy and uses a single, easily identifiable energy source. Our experts identify which equipment requires a procedure and which qualifies for the exception.
Our service includes a full facility walk-through and equipment identification, graphical machine-specific LOTO procedures for every qualifying piece of equipment, fabrication and physical installation of custom energy source tags, complete compliance documentation, and a creation template so your team can maintain the program as your facility grows.
The timeline depends on the size of your facility and the number of machines requiring procedures. During your consultation, we'll assess your facility's scope and provide a realistic timeline. Most facilities are brought to full compliance efficiently with minimal disruption to normal operations.
