Dynamic Instructions for Lock-Out Tag-Out

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) instructions protect personnel from unexpected re-energization or start-up of equipment that is under maintenance. Even though there is rigorous training associated with LOTO activities, incidents still occur. Idaho National Laboratory is researching and developing dynamic LOTO instructions, which supports automatic place keeping, personnel working on multiple instructions, and multiple work groups completing the same instructions. Researchers identified user needs through subject matter expert interviews, observations, and classroom training. Failing to identify potential hazards during LOTO can cause injury or death to personnel. Dynamic instructions help to guide the user seamlessly through the instructions. Combining planning and record keeping may lead to clearer, more applicable instructions which addresses the reason for compliance issues with current paper-based procedures.
