The purpose of machine guarding is to protect the machine operator and other employees in the work area from hazards created during the machine’s regular operation. In the Machine Guarding Series we will cover LOTO, fixed barriers, and interlocked guards in the workplace. 

In the Basics of LO/TO (lockout/tagout) video, Jay Burton will cover six basic steps that should be included in every energy control program. He will also discuss the OSHA standard related to LO/TO and the types of energies that should be controlled in the workplace. Click below to watch the video.
