The following are examples of lockout tagout cases: Maintenance workers at a manufacturing plant are tasked with repairing a large conveyor belt in a warehouse. Before commencing maintenance work, maintenance personnel ensure that proper LOTO procedures are followed to ensure their safety during the repair process. They first identified the electrical control panel that needed to be locked, and then notified all relevant personnel in the area that the equipment was being locked. They then turn off the main disconnect switch at the electrical control panel, verify that the panel and all associated machinery are completely de-energized, and lock the disconnect switch using the designated locking device. Next, they set about repairing the conveyor belt without the risk of the machine starting up unexpectedly. After the repair was complete, maintenance crews removed the locking device and restored power to the machine, making sure the conveyor was working properly before leaving the area. As they followed LOTO procedures, the maintenance workers were able to perform the repairs safely without any serious accidents or injuries.
