Frequently Asked Questions

Top Lockout Tagout FAQs

Is the Lockout Tagout software customizable?2025-12-23T10:02:25-04:00

Yes. Smart Safety Pro is a lockout tagout software designed to be customizable for any organization.

The LOTO admin tool allows program administrators access to add and edit data points specific to their implementation. This includes things such as energy type, energy feed, magnitude, and locations.

Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout software also includes a fully customizable facility and divisional hierarchy setup. This means that equipment is placed into departments, buildings, floors, and zones for optimal inventory management and assignments. Facility view options include card style and divisional.

For corporate implementations, plant sites are easily segregated including user access.

How do I return the machine to service?2025-12-23T10:32:40-04:00

When a machine is in a lockout or minor servicing status, scanning the procedure or energy source QR code launches the digital return-to-service process.

Using the same method as the lockout, the return-to-service steps are displayed one at a time on the screen and the authorized employee validates that each step is completed successfully.

When the return-to-service status is finalized, the real-time equipment status returns to operating.

Can I edit a procedure after it is submitted?2025-12-23T10:42:24-04:00

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.

What if I don’t have WiFi near the machine?2025-12-23T10:33:19-04:00

No WiFi? No worries.

Our app works while disconnected from WiFi with a built-in synchronization process that seamlessly transfers your data back and forth between the mobile app and the web portal.

What happens when a periodic inspection determines that changes to the procedure are required?2025-12-23T09:55:38-04:00

When it is necessary to change a procedure, the procedure can be unapproved and edited.

Changes can then be made to the existing procedure without having to start over. This includes editing image annotation and isolation steps.

After the changes are complete, the procedure is submitted for approval and assigned a new procedure ID number.

What is the benefit of mobile lockout tagout?2025-12-23T10:33:53-04:00

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.
