Assessment
Our safety experts conduct in-depth assessments to evaluate the current state of your lockout tagout program and identify methods of improvement. The recommendations from the assessment can be used to design a best-in-class lockout/tagout program that achieves heightened safety, practicality and efficiency for your personnel.
An onsite assessment is the initial step in the development of Written Lockout Program and Written Lockout Procedures.
Unique environments and equipment require specialized assessments to assure worker safety and production efficiency.
Written Program
Develop a company-wide written lockout program that takes an efficient approach to meet and exceed compliance requirements. With an on-site consultation, our team will assess your workplace to develop a comprehensive lockout program using the following methodology:
- A review of your existing lockout program
- A facility tour to evaluate current lockout practices and identify machine or system hazards
- An evaluation of existing lockout procedures

Following the development of your program, electronic, editable files are provided to you for implementation and continuous updates.
Written Procedures
Instill proper lockout with written, customized procedures. Our safety experts begin with an in-depth analysis of your equipment and energy sources.
We create detailed lockout isolation procedures using Master Lock eLOTO procedure writing software. The eLOTO Writer mobile application allows our technicians to capture details and images of each isolation point while at the machine. Once the data is uploaded, visual procedures are created using the eLOTO browser based tool.
Procedures are delivered in both electronic and laminated hard-copy form, ready for immediate use. Customers also have the option to subscribe to the eLOTO software where existing procedures will be available for future editing and auditing and to build procedures for new equipment.
