Introduction

In industrial environments, particularly those dealing with hazardous materials, machinery, and high-risk equipment, safety is of utmost importance. One of the most critical safety procedures is the Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) system, which ensures that machines and valves are properly isolated during maintenance or repair. Valve Lockout Tagout is a specific subset of this system, targeting the secure isolation of valves in various types of industrial applications. This article discusses the importance of Valve Lockout Tagout (LOTO), its practical applications, safety advantages, and the required procedures to implement it effectively.
