LOTOTO Survey

INTRODUCTION

The aim of a lockout, tagout, tryout survey, is to provide an expert eye on your plant to highlight any areas that could benefit from some safety improvements through the lockout, tagout, tryout method.

Providing a gap analysis on practical applications, products you may be missing, scenario discussions to allow a solution for overlooked areas and process/procedural questions to ultimately strengthen your safety offering thorough electrical & mechanical isolation. You will receive a full report following the event, giving solutions based on specific findings. This report will allow you to purchase and implement the correct product, set-up and procedure and implement training to staff on the process.

Testimonial:

“All our operative, managers and authorised personnel took great value from the Lockout Tagout Tryout course. Even one of the seasoned managers with 40 years’ experience in engineering took away some highly valuable safety points and now implements them daily. The course and products have provided us with a high quality, bespoke solution and peace of mind everyone is now highly adept in the Lockout procedures. It’s great to see Kerry Group adopting the offering from ARCO and Spectrum Industrial through of flagship project. We are highly impressed with the service levels, quality of product and ongoing support we receive. Kerry Group are continuing to roll out the Lockout Tagout project to increase our safety offering for everyone involved.”

Suitable for 6 padlocks with a maximum shackle diameter up to 8mm

STEP 1: YOUR CURRENT LOCKOUT SITUATION

A fully comprehensive site survey and gap analysis on all areas of your current lockout isolation and a full report will be provided on these findings.

CONTACT WITH MOVING MACHINERY IS STILL IN THE FATAL 6. IN THE U.S. IT REMAINS THE 5TH MOST COMMON CAUSE OF INCIDENT. THE U.S. AND UK ARE GOVERNED BY STRICT REGULATIONS TO ISOLATE SAFELY.

KEY POINTS FEATURED IN THE REPORT WILL INCLUDE,

STEP BY STEP PROCEDURAL AND PROCESSING OPTIONS.

MACHINERY SPECIFIC ISOLATION SOLUTIONS.

ELECTRICAL ISOLATION SAFE SYSTEMS OF WORK.

HOW TO MANAGE STORED AND POTENTIAL ENERGY.

REVIEW OF CURRENT EQUIPMENT ALREADY AT THE PLANT.

KEY METHOD OPTIONS AND BENEFITS.

Group Lockout Box

Ensuring safeguard of control keys and ensuring everyone’s safety with a personal lock on the group lockbox.

• HYDRAULIC

• KINETIC

Following the gap analysis and survey, proposed solutions will be included within the report.

The steps below show the process that should be in place, as standard within the industry utilising LOTOTO. In some instances only small changes may be required within the isolation process.

THE PRODUCTS

SAFETY PADLOCKS

Compact high security padlocks are individually keyed to differ with a 6-pin lock mechanism which will not release the key until the shackle is closed.

BESPOKE LOCKOUT

BOARD

Lockout Stations provide a storage solution for your Lockout equipment when not in use.

A Lockout Station should be located wherever it is deemed most appropriate for its desired purpose. This could be next to the equipment to be locked out, in a maintenance department or a central location.

LOCKBOX

Red powder coated Steel Lockbox for storage of keys or other machine activation devices.

Once a machine has been isolated and made safe, its keys are placed in the Lockbox; each authorised person working on the machine then applies their own padlock to the Lockbox, ensuring the keys cannot be accessed until every authorised user is satisfied the machine is safe.

GATE VALVE LOCKOUT

A simple solution for isolating gate valves. Once the valve is in the appropriate position, simply slip the Lockout over the top of the handle, rotating freely around the valve stem and thus preventing access and movement of the valve.

The different sizes cover the most commonly used valve diameters. Where a Gate Valve Lockout cannot be used due to fitting or other restraints, consider using a Cable Lockout system to isolate the valve

STEP 3: NEXT STEPS

STEP 4: ROLLOUT

The Eagle-ID scheme can be implemented on any of the Lockout Tagout padlocks we supply and will provide an ironclad guarantee that your site is free from key duplications and the safety implications this can present.

Every padlock supplied has its unique key reference recorded on our internal system, and subsequent orders are cross-referenced against this database to ensure no duplications can ever be issued to the user, regardless of site location or company organisational structure.

STEP 5: TRAINING

Our training package is designed to raise awareness of Lockout, Tagout, Tryout, it will ensure that all members understand the dangers of what can happen and how. The training will cover what to look for, how to follow the process’ and procedures effectively and safely, as well as making sure employees are competent in applying the equipment that is being provided for the site’s individual solution.

All training is carried out as a practical and hands on session. It will cover real life scenarios, how accidents could affect you, energy hazards and sources, equipment used in the solution, the 10 steps of LOTOTO & much more.

Everyone will leave with a better understanding and awareness on LOTOTO.

As well as a pocket sized, Total Isolation Guide & LOTOTO Handbook to take away and refer to.

It is recommended that if you decide to replace your Lockout Tagout products or continue with your current setup, that a LOTOTO awareness day is conducted to all affected employees on site.
