No. The Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout app can be downloaded from the public app store onto any device running Android or iOS. It works on cell phones and tablets, and scans barcodes with the device’s camera.
For companies with strict security requirements, the app should be installed on an enterprise grade mobile computer. This is a handheld device with an integrated laser scanner. It can be locked down to disable camera, bluetooth, WiFi, and any other prohibited feature.
Intrinsically safe mobile computers are also available for performing lockout tagout operations in C1D1 or C2D2 flammable environments.
How does the procedure approval work?SSsupport2025-12-23T10:34:48-04:00
After a LOTO procedure is finished and submitted it is ready for approval. The Authorized User can review the procedure in the mobile app, make any necessary changes, then digitally approve it.
This activates the procedure QR code so that it can be scanned to auto-launch the mobile procedure execution anytime lockout tagout is required.
What happens when a periodic inspection determines that changes to the procedure are required?SSsupport2025-12-23T09:55:38-04:00
Mobile lockout tagout software offers visibility and insights into machine status that are not possible with a manual lockout tagout program. When a machine is locked out, the authorized employee scans a QR code, views each step of the procedure, and confirms on the screen that the step was completed successfully.
This offers two major benefits. First, it ensures that the procedure is followed correctly and includes documentation validation. Next, it changes the status of the equipment to “locked out”.
The Smart Safety Pro equipment dashboard displays real-time operating status of all equipment so that program managers verify details without walking out to the machine.
Can I edit a procedure after it is submitted?SSsupport2025-12-23T10:42:24-04:00
After a procedure has been submitted for approval, the approver is able to make edits until the final approval. When a procedure is in an approved status it cannot be edited.
If things change or edits are determined to be needed during a periodic inspection, a procedure can be unapproved. This allows the procedure to be modified as needed and then submitted for reapproval.
This is a quick process that does not require starting over with a new procedure. When a procedure is revised, it is assigned a new ID number and QR code to ensure version tracking and undisrupted history data.
Is training offered?SSsupport2025-12-23T09:57:17-04:00
The Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout software is easy to set up and can be used to start new or convert an existing lockout tagout program to a digital platform. Software training is available if needed, and an online knowledge base offers detailed instructions for using the software.
For companies who require OSHA training for authorized employees or assistance with procedure writing and understanding compliance, our partnership with safety consultants Rockford Systems offers onsite consulting services and expert software training combined.
