#Lockout / Tagout
The LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) system — blocking hazardous energies. The gold standard for preventing the accidental release of electricity, steam, or pneumatics during equipment repair. This section accumulates practices for implementing LOTO regulations, isolation matrices, padlock distribution, and preventing typical mistakes when applying locking devices.
Risk Assessment and Management
Implementation of a comprehensive risk management system at a production site, including a six-step assessment methodology, Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), Last Minute Risk Assessment (LMRA), and the digitalization of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The practice aims to engage line personnel in daily hazard identification and foster a conscious attitude towards safety.
Leadership in Developing a Safety Culture
Comprehensive transformation of safety culture at PJSC NLMK through the personal involvement of top management, digitalization of HSE processes, and implementation of proactive tools. The practice includes automation of safety contacts, electronic permits-to-work, mobile applications for recording hazardous conditions, as well as motivation programs for employees and contractors.
Process Safety
Implementation of a Process Safety Management (PSM) system at a metallurgical enterprise. Practices include assessing the mechanical integrity of critical equipment, pre-startup safety reviews using checklists, and management of change with mandatory risk assessment.
10 Steps to a Safe Warehouse
A ten-step model for developing a safe environment in finished goods warehouses under the corporate WISE program. Features 13 basic technical standards, LOTOTO procedure for heavy trucks, contractor rating system, remote audits via AR glasses, and dynamic risk assessment.
Lockout / Tagout Industrial Safety System
Implementation of the Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) system for isolating hazardous energy during equipment repair and maintenance. Practices include using individual and group locks, developing visualized LOTO cards and instructions, integrating lockout procedures with the existing permit-to-work system, and controlling contractors.
Lockout / Tagout as a Practical Tool for the Vision Zero Concept
Implementation of the Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) system for safe equipment maintenance, including risk assessment, development of internal procedures, purchase of lockout devices, and integration with the permit-to-work system (including via SAP). The practice covers the use of individual and group locks, video permits for mechanics, and overcoming personnel resistance through training and simplifying routine tasks.
