No. The lockout tagout software portal stores all periodic inspections in the database permanently. Periodic inspection reports can be run on-demand as needed.
During an OSHA audit, periodic inspection data can be produced for any equipment criteria and any date range at the click of a button.
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 return the machine to service?SSsupport2025-12-23T10:32:40-04:00
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.
What information does the mobile periodic inspection include?SSsupport2024-10-22T13:31:52-04:00
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.
How does the procedure approval work?SSsupport2025-12-23T10:34:48-04:00
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 edit a procedure after it is submitted?SSsupport2025-12-23T10:42:24-04:00
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.
