Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Placard

Personnel are protected from the work area of the cell with a combination of safety features including fencing, interlocked safety gates, guards, and light screens.

Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) placards identify the primary, associated, and stored energy or power sources of the system. The LOTO placard(s) are typically located on the power distribution panel (PDP). Color-coded lockout tags corresponding to the source icons (such as A, B, C, etc.) on the placard help locate the same sources on the machine. These tags are mounted near, or hanging directly on, the energy and power source locations.

The Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) placard assists authorized personnel in identifying the following:

• Lockout Location / Description
• Types of Energy Source
• Methods to lockout isolate and control hazardous energy.
• The placard consists of a graphic plan view of the cell with the location of the energy isolation points, the action to isolate the energy.
