When it comes to safety in the workplace, lockout tagout (LOTO) procedures are critical. They ensure that machines are properly shut off and unable to be started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or repair work. However, effective lockout programs go beyond just meeting compliance—they protect employees and help foster a culture of safety.
For over 100 years, Brady has been trusted by clients to help solve some of their biggest safety challenges. Our comprehensive lockout programs are customized in partnership with you to meet your specific requirements, keep your employees safe, and ensure your compliance with regulatory standards. Our industry expertise was recognized in 2016 by the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), when Brady was named the “2016 ASSE Attendee Choice Award Winner for Safety Training – Lockout Program Gap Analysis Service.”
