القفل ووضع العلامات (LOTO)

Lockout/tagout (LOTO) is a safety procedure to prevent workers from serious injuries or death during maintenance or servicing by controlling hazardous energy. It involves physically locking out a machine’s power source to stop it from restarting and tagging it to warn others that it’s out of service and under maintenance. This process ensures that equipment is safely shut down and isolated from its energy source before any work begins, protecting workers from unexpected start-ups or energy releases.
