Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) safety procedure is a set of guidelines used to control hazardous energy during maintenance or repairs on equipment. The primary goal of LOTO is to prevent unexpected startup or release of stored energy when working with machinery that could cause injury or death.

Here's an overview of the key components:

1. Shut down: Switch off and disconnect power to the machine.
2. Lockout: Place a lock on the switch or control valve to ensure it can't be turned back on.
3. Tag: Attach a warning tag to indicate that the equipment is being worked on and should not be operated.
4. Verify: Check that all energy sources have been properly shut off and locked out.

A typical LOTO checklist form includes:

1. Equipment Identification
2. Person performing the lockout/tagout
3. Reason for the lockout/tagout
4. Description of the work being performed
5. Verification of shutdown and lockout
6. Tag or lock details (type, location, etc.)
7. Name and signature of the person verifying the LOTO
