The 6-Step LOTO Procedure
Notify Affected Personnel
Alert all personnel who may be affected by the lockout/tagout procedure
Equipment Shutdown
Turn off all equipment and machines in a safe manner
Energy Isolation
Isolate all energy sources (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal)
Lock & Tag Application
Apply locks and tags at each energy isolation point
Stored Energy Verification
Check for any remaining energy in springs, capacitors, or pressurized lines
Isolation Verification
Confirm all energy sources are properly isolated before work begins
OSHA Reality Check
LOTO violations increased 29% from 2022 to 2023. In one year alone: 2,532 citations, $20.7 million in penalties. Food manufacturing: 384 violations, $7.5 million. A single serious violation now exceeds $16,000. One cookie dough manufacturer was fined $782,526 for LOTO training failures.
Paper LOTO is the core problem. A piece of paper cannot stop a technician from locking out the wrong valve. If someone signs the form but forgets to hang the lock, the paper still looks compliant while the machine is dangerous. Physical tags get dirty, lost, or misread. Safety managers spend 5-10 hours per week maintaining paper documentation.
Dovient digitizes every step: technicians follow guided procedures on their phone, each isolation point is verified with a photo, and the system will not allow work to begin until all steps are confirmed. Every action is time-stamped for regulatory defense.
Complete Safety Management System
Permit-to-Work System
Digital permits for hot work, confined space, height work, electrical, and excavation. Multi-level approvals, automatic expiration alerts, and real-time permit status board. Track permit holders, supervisors, and authorizers. Prevent overlapping hazardous activities with automatic conflict detection.
Incident & Near-Miss Reporting
Easy mobile reporting for near-misses, unsafe conditions, and positive safety behaviors. Photo attachments, location tagging, and anonymous reporting options. Full incident investigation workflow with root cause analysis, witness statements, corrective actions, and regulatory reporting forms (OSHA 300, RIDDOR). Trend analysis to identify systemic issues before they cause injuries.
Safety Compliance Dashboard
Track LTIFR, TRIFR, near-miss ratios, observation rates, and safety compliance scores. Trend analysis shows whether your safety culture is improving. Safety training tracking with certifications, competency assessments, and automatic expiration alerts. Safety holds on equipment or areas ensure work orders cannot proceed until safety conditions are met.
The Goal Isn't Compliance. The Goal Is Zero Incidents.
Compliance is the floor, not the ceiling. Dovient helps you build a proactive safety culture where near-misses are reported before they become injuries, where every technician knows the LOTO procedure for their equipment, and where safety holds prevent unsafe work from happening in the first place.
LOTO Compliance
Digital enforcement makes skipping safety steps impossible. When technicians open the work order, LOTO is mandatory.
