Top Lockout Tagout FAQs

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.

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.

Can I limit what users have access to?2025-12-23T09:59:18-04:00

Yes. The Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout software has built in user permission groups to ensure users only perform functions that they are authorized to do.

The user groups allow or block the ability to create procedures, approve procedures, perform periodic inspections, perform machine lockout tagout events, or run reports.

Admins have complete control over who is given access to various software. This ensures that only authorized employees have the ability to use the lockout tagout software to perform a digital lockout.

How do I track when periodic inspections are due?2025-12-23T10:03:19-04:00

With the Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout app, program managers no longer need to manually track when periodic inspections are due. The software takes over tracking inspections and ensures that a period inspection is triggered every year.

The number of periodic inspections due is displayed at 30, 60, and 90 day intervals. This information is accessible via reporting, the web portal dashboard, and the periodic inspection workflow in the lockout tagout mobile app.

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.

Do I need to buy special scanners or hardware to use Smart Safety LOTO?2025-12-23T09:57:56-04:00

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.
