Frequently Asked Questions

Top Lockout Tagout FAQs

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 does the procedure approval work?2025-12-23T10:34:48-04:00

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.

Can I use digital lockout if my company doesn’t allow cameras?2025-12-23T10:47:47-04:00

Yes, the lockout tagout app can be used without cameras.

To maintain scan-ability, use the Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout app on a mobile computer with a security lockdown.

Lockout tagout procedures can also be executed by selecting the machine from the equipment list, or typing the procedure ID into the procedure lookup box.

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.

Can I use the app even if I don’t have WiFi?2025-12-23T09:59:56-04:00

Yes. The Smart Safety Pro Lockout Tagout app is built to work without a WiFi connection and transfers data between the software and the mobile app using a sync process.

Lockout tagout procedures, audits, and updates can be completed anytime, anywhere. This means that you will never be unable to use the lockout tagout app due to a machine being in an area without a WiFi or data connection.

Is there a shortcut if I have more than one of the same machine?2024-10-22T13:29:24-04:00

Our procedure copy feature allows a completed procedure to be copied for identical machines. This prevents the duplication of lockout tagout procedure writing work when a company has identical machines.
