What is LOTO, and why is it so important?
When your employees need to perform maintenance, repairs or adjustment (including line changeovers), you must keep them safe from hazardous machine motion.

This is no time to let operators rely on their best guesses as to how to prevent machines from unexpectedly turning on. You want your instructions to be clear, complete and easily accessible to all employees.
