Frequently Asked Questions

Top Lockout Tagout FAQs

What happens when a periodic inspection determines that changes to the procedure are required?2025-12-23T09:55:38-04:00

When it is necessary to change a procedure, the procedure can be unapproved and edited.

Changes can then be made to the existing procedure without having to start over. This includes editing image annotation and isolation steps.

After the changes are complete, the procedure is submitted for approval and assigned a new procedure ID number.

What if I don’t have WiFi near the machine?2025-12-23T10:33:19-04:00

No WiFi? No worries.

Our app works while disconnected from WiFi with a built-in synchronization process that seamlessly transfers your data back and forth between the mobile app and the web portal.

Can I use digital lockout for minor servicing?2025-12-23T10:43:24-04:00

Yes. The Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout app includes a minor servicing module.

With this module, QR codes can be applied to individual energy sources. Scanning an energy source QR code launches a mini-procedure and changes the equipment status on the dashboard to minor servicing.

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 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.

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.
