Top Lockout Tagout FAQs

How do I create a procedure report to attach to the machine?2025-12-23T10:41:32-04:00

With the Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout app, a procedure is written at the machine using the 100% mobile procedure builder. Once complete, it is available for viewing on the main procedure dashboard.

The steps of the procedure are automatically compiled into a beautiful custom branded report, and include Scope, Purpose, and Authorization; application steps, equipment pictures, energy identification and isolation instructions, and return to service steps.

No extra formatting is required – simply press the print button and attach the report to each machine.

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.

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 any employee perform a periodic inspection?2025-12-23T09:56:43-04:00

Whether or not an employee can perform a periodic inspection is determined by the permissions assigned within the software.

An authorized employee must have the proper permission level assigned to access the periodic inspections workflow within the Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout app.

Do I need to use a desktop computer to create a procedure?2025-12-23T10:42:57-04:00

No. The lockout tagout app includes a 100% mobile LOTO procedure builder.

Procedures are written right at the machine for better accuracy and efficiency. Users can add energy sources, take and annotate images, and add verification and return to service steps all on the mobile app.

What information does the mobile periodic inspection include?2024-10-22T13:31:52-04:00

The periodic inspection includes criteria as required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, and includes an area to record the employees in attendance for the inspection.
