The Lockout Tagout Software Built for the Front Line
Use a better method for locking and tagging out. Sitemate’s Lockout Tagout Software is powered by Dashpivot to help structure a complete and streamlined LOTO process. It integrates modern tools, like AI, to make the LOTO process efficient and speedy while ensuring a safe work environment.
Why Lockout Tagout management Is Harder than It Should Be
Incomplete and illegible forms
Paper-based LOTO forms are heavily user-reliant, which affects completeness and legibility. Incomplete and illegible LOTO forms can compromise the safety of the workers.
Increases the risk of accidental reactivation
Because of illegible and incomplete forms, the chances of miscommunication increase, which also increases the risk of accidental reactivation.
Inconsistent LOTO forms
Circulating paper-based forms requires a substantial amount of time to distribute them, which can result in different forms being used across different teams.
Delayed reporting
Using paper-based forms delays the relay of information, especially on unresolved or overdue isolations, where the risk window is critical.
A Smarter Lockout Tagout App
Easy form building
Sitemate uses an assistant called Storm to help build LOTO forms. Users can provide a description of what they need or scan an uploaded document to automatically build forms.
Automated workflows
Easily set up simple yet powerful automated workflows for any lockout and tagout procedure or process to ensure information moves quickly and between the right people.
Reduced or zero manual data entry
Sitemate’s AI assistant Storm can obtain context from photos and voice recordings, then auto-fill fields in forms, which removes the need for manual data entry.
Delayed reporting
The lockout/tagout software automatically aggregates all of the information and inputs being collected and conducted in the field so you can display it in real-time charts and dashboards.
Understanding Lockout Tagout Software
What is Lockout Tagout Software?
Lockout Tagout Software is a modern tool for streamlining the LOTO procedure. Powered by the Dashpivot platform, this app integrates an AI assistant called Storm to improve the safety measures that prevent unintended exposure to harmful energy from equipment and machinery.
What's inside Lockout Tagout Software?
- An AI assistant called Storm that helps build and complete LOTO forms
- An automated workflow system for any lockout tagout procedure or process
- An automated notification system that immediately flags supervisors of LOTO status
- An analytics feature that aggregates collected information into charts and dashboards
- A cloud storage that houses all completed forms
Why is following LOTO procedures mandatory?
LOTO is a safety practice used to guarantee that dangerous equipment is safely turned off and cannot be restarted until maintenance or repair work is finished. Lockout and tagout safeguards workers from unexpected equipment or machinery startups that could injure or kill them if not adequately controlled. It reduces the possibility of mistakes and injuries by locking, identifying, and disconnecting machinery or equipment from power sources. Furthermore, it is a regulatory requirement where failure to comply could result in fines.
-
Creating forms
Users can easily build and structure LOTO forms using Storm. They only need to describe the form in the prompt, and Storm will automatically build it based on their requests. Users can also upload existing forms, which Storm will then convert to digital forms immediately.
-
Data mapping
Completing a form is also streamlined. Storm is capable of accurately mapping data. All extracted information from photos and voice recordings is mapped to the correct fields inside LOTO forms.
-
Complete and compliant forms
The data collected by Storm will automatically generate a complete LOTO form. Photos are directly linked to the LOTO forms and verified against the established safety protocols.
-
Tracking
The Lockout Tagout Software aggregates all of the information and inputs being collected and conducted in the field to create charts and dashboards.

Decision-making with Flowsite
Integrating Sitemate's Flowsite into the app can provide more comprehensive data for better decision-making. Flowsite can gather all completed LOTO forms and create dashboards to track LOTO status in real-time or use them for future planning and decision-making.
Comparison: Paper Lockout Tagout vs Digital Lockout Tagout
Most project teams already know paper and spreadsheets aren't cutting it. Here's what changes when you move your method statements to a digital system.
Paper |
||
|---|---|---|
| Data entry and collection | Storm automatically generates LOTO forms from logged descriptions, voice recordings, and photos | Manual data entry |
| Photos and records | Capable of linking photos, documents, and recordings within the form | Requires manual attachment of photos and documents |
| Consistency | Provides a consistent template structure, which ensures auditability | Structure depends on the person completing the form, which varies |
| Review | Only takes 5-7 minutes from review to approval | Requires manual handoffs and review, which consumes a substantial amount of time |
| Version updates | Revised LOTO forms will automatically go live in all teams, ensuring one live version | Paper-based forms require manual distribution of updated forms, creating a lag between the updated form and the old one |
| Auditability | Updates are logged automatically, which provides a complete audit trail | Requires manual recording of updates, which could be forgotten |
| Notifying | Can automate workflow processes and integrate notifications | Manual handoffs of information on progress and updates |
| Storage | Uses a digital cloud storage with instant search | Manual compiling and filing |
