Lockout / Tagout

Digital LOTO, zero shortcuts

OSHA-compliant lockout/tagout from procedure authoring through execution to restoration. Energy source identification, isolation points, step-by-step guidance on tablet, photo capture, and full audit trail.

How it works

PulsePlant handles LOTO the way OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 actually expects it to work. Every procedure documents every energy source — electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, chemical, gravitational, stored, other — with voltage, pressure, temperature, and hazard level. Every isolation point lists the method (breaker, valve, blind flange, double block and bleed), the verification method, and the lock/tag requirement.

Procedures move through Draft → Pending Approval → Approved → Active with full revision history. Each edit tracks version, change type, and detailed diff. Previous versions are preserved for audit. Equipment-to-procedure links support primary and alternate procedures for partial vs. full isolation.

Execution is a guided, step-by-step workflow optimized for tablet use in the field. Authorization notifies all affected personnel. Lockout applies locks and tags at each isolation point with photos captured for each. Stored energy dissipation is documented. Zero-energy verification tests every source and fails the execution if anything is still live. Work proceeds. Restoration happens in reverse order with lock removal tracked per person.

Group lockout boxes support multiple workers each applying their own lock — no one can remove the group lockout until everyone has removed theirs. Active executions show on a real-time dashboard so supervisors know which equipment is locked out right now and by whom. Every action is logged with user, timestamp, and evidence for OSHA compliance audits.

What you get

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 aligned

Energy source identification, isolation methods, verification, and restoration — all per the standard.

9 energy source types

Electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, chemical, gravitational, stored, other.

Approval + versioning

Procedures move Draft to Active with full revision history and detailed change tracking.

Tablet execution

Large touch controls, step-by-step guided flow, barcode/QR scanning, offline support for field use.

Photo capture at every step

Locks, tags, verification readings, restoration — all photographed for compliance evidence.

Zero-energy verification

Every isolation point tested for zero energy; failed verifications block work progress.

Group lockout

Multiple workers apply personal locks to a lockout box; no one removes the group lock prematurely.

Active executions dashboard

Real-time view of every locked-out asset across the facility with duration and personnel.

PDF export

Generate laminated field copies of any procedure with energy sources, isolation points, and sign-off blocks.

DOCX import

Import existing LOTO procedures from Word documents — the system parses and maps content automatically.
