Some areas of occupational safety and health are easier to manage and maintain than others. And
while the ease or difficulty with which your company handles various areas of occupational
safety and health can vary greatly depending upon what industry you are in and the expertise of
your safety team members, some areas are difficult across the board. And of these, almost no one
would argue that lockout tagout is not the most difficult area of occupational safety and health to
both establish policies and procedures for and to monitor long term.
The difficulty of lockout tagout stems from the multitude of moving parts involved in lockout
tagout policies and procedures. No two facilities will ever have the same lockout tagout
procedures, as they need to be extremely specific to the machinery, the facility, and the personnel
operating said machinery. Further, the layout of the machinery within the facility can also impact
the lockout tagout procedures. And while this is obviously a lot to contend with when
establishing the policies and procedures, it can be a nightmare to monitor and update as changes
within the facility happen or as machinery is upgraded, expanded, or simply moved.
To help you contend with the seemingly endless moving parts and potential need for changes to
these policies and procedures, we have created a web based program for monitoring and
updating lockout tagout policies and procedures which is monitored by a leading lockout tagout
third party auditing firm. Our Factory Solutions Software is fully scalable, fully customizable,
can be accessed anywhere there is an internet connection, and gives the peace of mind of
working with an industry leader in this difficult to navigate area of occupational safety and
health.
