Occupational safety and health policies and procedures are, in many ways, more difficult to
monitor and update than to create. When creating policies and procedures, you are starting with a
blank slate, can bring in experts if needed, and can evaluate the entire facility in reference to
each potential hazard. Third party occupational safety and health auditors can come in to assist at
the end, to ensure everything is accurate, and then the process is complete. But after that, it can
become very difficult to monitor each individual policy and procedure, maintaining them as
needed based upon the changing needs of the facility, the company, or the changing regulations.
But among all occupational safety and health policies and procedures, perhaps the most difficult
to monitor long term is lockout tagout. Lockout tagout policies and procedures may need to be
updated anytime there are changes to the facility, machinery, personnel, or OSHA Standards.
Additionally, OSHA Standard 1910.137, which oversees lockout tagout, is a very challenging
part of occupational safety and health. This standard is extremely complicated, specific, and
convoluted.
Fortunately, there is now a better way to monitor lockout tagout procedures. Our Factory
Solutions Software is a web-based software which allows you to create your lockout tagout
procedures then update them accordingly. It is monitored by us, a leading lockout tagout auditing
firm, meaning you know your changes will be accurate. But it is flexible based upon your
company’s needs.
