The Lockout Tagout App Built for Construction Teams
LOTO procedures are drafted automatically from equipment details and energy source mapping. Authorised persons review each isolation step and sign off digitally before any maintenance begins on energised equipment.
Trusted by companies, projects and teams of all sizes
Why Lockout Tagout management Is Harder than It Should Be
Manual LOTO procedures under pressure
Maintenance crews write lockout tagout procedures from scratch before each job, often rushed and missing critical isolation steps.
Inconsistent energy isolation documentation
Different formats and incomplete procedures create gaps in energy control verification and compliance tracking.
Missing isolation points create injury risk
Incomplete LOTO procedures lead to serious injury hazards and potential OSHA violations during maintenance work.
No traceability from isolation to completion
Paper-based LOTO lacks connection to equipment registers and maintenance records for audit requirements.
A Smarter Way to Manage Lockout Tagout
AI-generated LOTO procedures
Describe the equipment and AI builds structured templates with isolation steps, energy sources, and verification checkpoints matched to equipment type.
Voice-powered field completion
Authorised persons record each isolation step via voice and photos, with AI mapping actions to correct procedure fields.
Authorised person verification workflow
Complete review and sign-off process ensures every energy source is identified and isolated before maintenance starts.
No traceability from isolation to completion
LOTO procedures link directly to equipment records creating full traceability from isolation through work completion.
Understanding Lockout Tagout Software
What is Lockout Tagout (LOTO)?
Lockout tagout is a mandatory safety procedure that ensures dangerous energy sources are properly isolated and cannot be re-energised during maintenance or servicing. OSHA requires specific energy control procedures to protect workers from electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, and thermal hazards. Every LOTO procedure must identify all energy sources, specify isolation methods, verify zero energy state, and maintain physical locks and tags until work completion. Authorised persons are responsible for procedure development, implementation oversight, and safe re-energisation.
Essential LOTO procedure components:
- Energy source identification and isolation points
- Specific lockout and tagout device requirements
- Step-by-step shutdown and isolation sequence
- Stored energy release and verification methods
- Verification testing and zero energy confirmation
- Re-energisation procedures and safety checks
OSHA compliance and documentation requirements
LOTO procedures must be equipment-specific, regularly reviewed, and include training records for all affected employees. Authorised persons require comprehensive training on energy control procedures, while affected employees need awareness training on recognition and compliance requirements. Annual procedure reviews ensure continued effectiveness and regulatory compliance.

Frequently asked questions about Lockout Tagout
Will AI know our specific equipment isolation points?
AI drafts LOTO procedures from your equipment register and energy source mapping. The authorised person verifies every isolation step before sign-off, ensuring accuracy for your specific equipment.
How does voice capture work for LOTO verification?
Authorised persons speak each isolation step — “main breaker off, lock applied at panel 3A, stored energy discharged” — while taking photos. AI maps spoken actions to the correct procedure fields automatically.
Can LOTO procedures connect to our permit system?
Yes, LOTO procedures integrate with permit-to-work systems and maintenance schedules. Energy isolation becomes part of your broader safety workflow with full traceability.
What happens if isolation steps are missed?
AI compares field completion against the generated template, flagging any missing steps. Authorised persons cannot provide final sign-off until all isolation requirements are verified complete.
How do we handle complex equipment with multiple energy sources?
AI templates automatically include all energy sources from your equipment register — electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, stored energy. Each source gets specific isolation steps and verification requirements.
Are digital LOTO procedures OSHA compliant?
Yes, digital procedures include all required elements: energy source identification, isolation sequences, verification testing, and authorised person sign-off with full audit trails.
Can contractors access our LOTO procedures?
Flowsite extends LOTO access to contractors and subcontractors with appropriate permissions, ensuring consistent energy isolation procedures across all maintenance teams.
