Frequently Asked Questions

Top Lockout Tagout FAQs

What is the benefit of mobile lockout tagout?2025-12-23T10:33:53-04:00

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do I need to print and file periodic inspection records?2025-12-23T09:56:11-04:00

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.

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.
