What is loto’s purpose?
Loto is a method of safely isolating systems and equipment electrically and mechanically.
What are the 4 main reasons for conducting LOTO?
- Isolating equipment to allow maintenance to proceed without hazard to maintainer.
- When equipment is defective or dangerous to operate.
- To prevent selection of a mode of operation which may be unavailable or dangerous.
- Where supplies have been provided but haven’t been fitted.
What are the 7 considerations which must be conducted as part of the loto process?
- All isolation points have been identified.
- Permission obtained from authorising technical rate.
- User of equipment and other personnel that may be affected are informed.
- A separate LOTO label is to be filled in for each individual isolation point.
- The next sequential number is to be identified from the LOTO log index.
- All details to be completed in the front of the LOTO log.
- All the LOTO information is recorded on a LOTO safety certificate.

2. Hydrogen sulphide, methane and oxygen.
What are the precautions before entering a confined space?
- The space/compartment is to be cool
- The space is to be force ventilated for 24 hours minimum
- After 24 hours the atmosphere is to be tested safe before the space can be accessed.
- If after 24 hours the atmosphere is not safe it is to be ventilated for a further 12 hours and then re-tested
- This procedure is to be followed until the atmosphere is tested to be safe
- A gas free certificate must be issued before any entry is allowed into the space.
