WHAT IS LOCKOUT/TAGOUT?
Lockout/tagout (LOTO) is a safety procedure used in industrial settings to ensure that machines and hazardous energy sources are

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
In Canada, lockout is primarily governed by CSA Z460 – Control of Hazardous Energy, along with applicable provincial occupational health and safety regulations.
Our services ensure full compliance with all relevant standards and requirements.
Hazardous energy includes:
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Hydraulic
- Pneumatic
- Steam
- Liquids and chemicals
- Stored energy (capacitors, pressure, springs)
- Kinetic energy, suspended loads, etc.
- Thermal
Our experts identify and assess all energy sources within your facility to ensure complete and compliant control.
Two groups must receive lockout training:
- Authorized employees who perform lockout procedures
- Affected employees who work in areas where lockout is applied
Training must be tailored to each role and include both theoretical instruction and practical field exercises.
* Are your analysts or committee members trained? See all our available training courses here!Neither the regulation nor the standard specifies a fixed review frequency. Instead, they refer to periodic reviews.
The Safety Code for the Construction Industry requires an annual review when a project lasts more than one year.
In practice, the review frequency is typically determined by the employer based on the complexity of the facilities and operational changes. It is common to see reviews conducted every three years. Updates are required whenever equipment is modified, processes change, or following an incident. Regular audits help ensure procedures remain accurate, effective, and aligned with operational realities.
An effective lockout program requires several types of equipment, including:
- Safety padlocks
- Lockout hasps
- Electrical lockout devices (breakers, plugs, switches)
- Valve locks and covers
- Lockout stations
- Warning tags
- Group lock boxes
Yes. We can audit your current lockout program, identify gaps, update procedures, provide refresher training, and ensure compliance with applicable standards. We work with programs at every stage of development; new, partial, or well established.
Implementation timelines vary depending on facility size, equipment complexity, and the current state of the program. Generally, a complete program takes between 3 and 6 months, including the initial assessment, procedure development, and training (depending on whether an internal OHS committee is in place). During the initial consultation, we provide a detailed timeline tailored to your reality.
