The main points of LOTO practice are as follows:

Step 1: What you must know

1. Know what hazards are in your equipment or system? What are the quarantine points? What is the listing procedure?

2. Working on unfamiliar equipment is a danger;

3.only trained and authorized personnel can lock;

4. Only Lockout tagout that you are asked to do;

5. Never use someone else's lock or card;

6.If you need more locks, please ask your monitor and supervisor.

Step 2: The six-step operation procedure

(1) the valve; ② Switch/electrical circuit breaker; ③ Block or disconnect all line connections; ④ Lock and hang the crepe clip.
5. Release or block all stored energy:
① Capacitor discharge; (2) Block or release spring; ③ Blocking and lifting parts; (4) Prevent the rotation of the flywheel; (5) Release system pressure; ⑥ Discharge liquid/gas; ⑦ Cool the system.
6. Confirm equipment isolation:
(1) Confirm that all other personnel are clear; (2) Confirm that the locking device is securely installed; ③ Confirm quarantine; ④ Start work as normal; ⑤ Turn the control switch back to close/neutral.
