Custom lockout tagout placards, compliance gap analysis, and annual LOTO audits designed for manufacturers, healthcare facilities, and industrial operations. Built to keep your team safe and your facility audit-ready.
The Problem
OSHA's lockout tagout standard (29 CFR 1910.147) requires written, machine-specific energy control procedures for every piece of equipment. Most facilities fall short in at least one of these areas:
Common Audit Finding: Facilities using generic placards or paper procedures are consistently cited for failing to meet the machine-specific written procedure requirement of 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4). LOTO ranks in OSHA's top 5 most-cited standards every year.

OSHA Region 5 Enforcement Note: Illinois is one of the most actively enforced states in OSHA Region 5. Food processing and metal fabrication facilities in the Chicago area receive a disproportionate share of 1910.147 citations. If your facility has not had a formal LOTO assessment, the risk of citation during a programmed or unprogrammed inspection is significant.
