Anytime a lockout tagout procedure is unapproved, edited, and re-approved, it is assigned a new procedure ID number.
This offers version tracking when reviewing historical reports and makes it possible to see which lockout tagout procedure was used at any point in time.
Do I need to use a desktop computer to create a procedure?SSsupport2025-12-23T10:42:57-04:00
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.
Do I need to buy special scanners or hardware to use Smart Safety LOTO?SSsupport2025-12-23T09:57:56-04:00
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.
What is the benefit of mobile lockout tagout?SSsupport2025-12-23T10:33:53-04:00
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.
Can I use digital lockout if my company doesn’t allow cameras?SSsupport2025-12-23T10:47:47-04:00
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.
How do I track when periodic inspections are due?SSsupport2025-12-23T10:03:19-04:00
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.
