Certified LoTo Expert

With our training as Certified LoTo Expert, you can qualify to be an expert on the LOT procedure in just three days. But what exactly is LoTo?

LTV (Lock Out Tag Out Verify), LoToTo (Lock Out Tag Out Try Out) or simply LoTo. There are a lot of terms for the release of energy, all meaning the same.

As a matter of fact, most accidents do not occur during the so called trouble free normal operation. Many companies have noticed this by now. The term LoTo comes from the US and is anchored in the 29 CFR 1910.147. It is about regulations, how to safely ban energy from the working place, when it is not about normal operation. Not only American companies have to face these requirements. There are also legal basics in Europe in a EU directive, which requires the adoption of LoTo.

However there is a lot to consider. LoTo raises the questions of who should create the processes and how they should be created and how employees should be instructed and what they should consider.

The topic is complex and companies often notice that it can’t be realised “just like that”. Machines should have the technical means of releasing energy. Is this the case? The main switch on the switchboard does not cover it. There is a lot more to implementing LoTo.
