Lock/Tag/Verify (LTV)
Lock/Tag/Verify (LTV)
OSHA estimates that nearly 40 million maintenance workers could be exposed to unexpected machine start-ups or releases of stored energy while performing service work on equipment. Developing and implementing a comprehensive lockout/tagout program has proven to be a safe and effective way for reducing these types of incidents. Lockout/Tagout refers to the complete isolation of equipment during maintenance or service work.
