Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) systems help to prevent these accidents by making sure that machines remain completely off until an authorized person releases them.

Each device is clearly identified and labeled with the date and time of the application and the name of the authorized individual, and the reason for the lockout or tag-out (repair, maintenance, etc). It is essential to clearly state that these devices will not be removed until the LOTO procedure is completed.
