Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Compliance & Procedures
At Apex Reliability Engineering, we take Lockout/Tagout compliance far beyond the basics. Our EHS LOTO Services are designed to help you meet—and exceed—OSHA requirements while building a culture of safety and operational discipline across your facility.
We understand that LOTO isn’t just about passing an audit—it’s about protecting lives, minimizing liabilities, and ensuring every maintenance and repair task is performed safely. That’s why our approach is both comprehensive and practical, delivering solutions your team can confidently follow on the shop floor.
Our services begin with a full-scale compliance audit of your current LOTO program. We identify gaps, outdated procedures, or missing documentation, then create a prioritized action plan. From there, we handle complete procedure rewriting, ensuring each step is clear, compliant, and tailored to your specific equipment. Every procedure includes:
High-resolution equipment photography for visual clarity.
Clear labeling of hazardous energy sources for quick identification.
Plain-language, step-by-step instructions that meet industry best practices.
For facilities looking to modernize, we integrate QR codes or NFC tap stations directly on equipment, allowing instant digital access to LOTO procedures from any smart device. This ensures employees always have the latest, most accurate information—right where they need it.
By combining regulatory expertise with real-world usability, Apex helps you reduce risk, improve compliance, and streamline safety processes. Our solutions work for any industry—from food production and manufacturing to utilities and aerospace—and can be scaled to facilities of any size.
Your LOTO program should be more than a binder on a shelf—it should be an active, reliable safeguard for your employees and your business. Let Apex Reliability Engineering build a LOTO system that delivers safety you can trust.
Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) Compliance Audits
Apex’s LOTO Compliance Audits go beyond a basic checklist to provide a complete assessment of your hazardous energy control program. We conduct a thorough review of your equipment, procedures, labeling, and training practices to ensure compliance with OSHA standards and industry best practices.
Our audit covers every type of hazardous energy—electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, and thermal—ensuring no risk is overlooked. We document each energy source, identify gaps in existing procedures, and provide clear, actionable recommendations to bring your program up to standard.
By partnering with Apex, you’ll receive a prioritized compliance roadmap that not only helps pass audits but also strengthens your safety culture. The result is a facility that’s safer, more compliant, and more confident in its LOTO processes.
Procedure Rewriting
Clear, accurate procedures save lives. Apex Reliability Engineering offers full-service LOTO procedure rewriting that replaces outdated or unclear instructions with standardized, easy-to-follow documents tailored to your specific equipment.
We begin with on-site equipment inspections, photographing each machine to create visual, step-by-step instructions. Our team ensures all hazardous energy sources are clearly identified and properly labeled. Every rewritten procedure is crafted in plain, concise language that your employees can understand and apply in real-world conditions—reducing the risk of human error.
With Apex, your LOTO documentation becomes more than a regulatory requirement—it becomes a practical tool your team can trust every time they lock out or tag out equipment.
Digital Procedure Integration
Access to the right information at the right time is critical for safety. Apex offers digital LOTO procedures integrated with NFC tap stations or QR codes mounted directly on your equipment.
With a quick smartphone tap or scan, employees can instantly pull up the latest lockout/tagout procedure—complete with step-by-step instructions and images—right at the point of use. This eliminates the need to search binders or track down printed copies, ensuring workers always have the most up-to-date and compliant procedure in hand.
Our digital integration improves efficiency, reduces errors, and ensures consistent safety practices across your facility. It’s modern LOTO, built for today’s workplace.
