The article on Behr Iron & Steel emphasizes the importance of lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) in safeguarding the life of workers. LOTO is achieved when a device is placed on a switches, valves, circuit breakers, etc. so that reactivation of the equipment is forestalled. In addition, a warning sign must be put in place to show that maintenance activities are going on. Equipment is locked out whenever the flow of dangerous energy is cut-off and the operation of the equipment is constrained until the lockout device is taken away. While equipment is tagged out implies that a warning tag is placed on it to inform others that the equipment is undergoing servicing and must not be operated. It is imperative that safety measures is utilized together to give an optimum level of protection for those performing the service (Iowa State University, 2004).

Employees need to be trained on how to properly use the different equipment to ensure that they have sufficient knowledge on how to operate them safely. The training allows for individuals to understand what to do when there is a malfunction with the equipment and how they need to be properly reported and documented, as well as locked away so that others do not use the broken equipment.
