In addition, we offer training and an on-going

customer relationship to manage, update and
ensure "safety lockout" compliance.
A proper LOTO system is one of the most
important parts of a manufacturing facility.
Whether used during routine maintenance or
in an emergency situation, a clear LOTO
procedure generates cost-effectiveness by:
Ensuring safety of employees
Protecting and maintaining valuable
machinery
Minimizing
expensive
production
downtime
Lockout/Tagout procedures have also
become one of the most common
compliance problems among federal
safety inspectors.
Plant safety involves more than just posting a
few signs. It is achieved by having visual
management solutions in place to prevent
injuries and accidents via education and
awareness. Regular safety audits, safety
training and documentation are key building
blocks that are often overlooked. By offering
an in-depth audit, combined with effective
safety visual aids and proven safety
components, Industrial Signs will help you
create a safer workplace.
In addition to the creation of machine-specific,
graphical LOTO procedures, we can review
and/or create a corporate LOTO policy to help

industry-wide best practices and can utilize
our knowledge and experience to deliver
unsurpassed technical service.
Easy to follow safety procedures are the
backbone of any successful manufacturing
line. Using the best in digital photography,
Industrial Signs creates a graphical LOTO
procedure
that
withstands
extreme
manufacturing conditions.
Industrial Signs creates graphic procedures
that exceed federal regulation CFR 1910.147.
We can either help your safety team create
comprehensive LOTO procedures or we can
simply assist with specific parts of the
process. CLICK HERE to contact an Industrial
Signs representative today and you'll be on
your way to compliance.

Cost of Non-Comformance
The costs of not having a complete,
comprehensive, LOTO program can come from
four main sources:
Lost Work Time ~ from the increased
time an employee must spend to lock
out a machine that does not have a
clear, up-to-date LOTO procedure
Lost Production ~ from machine down
time; reducing the time it takes to
service a machine can obviously have a
significant value
OSHA Fines ~ which can be another
substantial expense; LOTO violations
are one of the most often cited OSHA
infractions within the manufacturing
sector
Employee Injuries ~ the cost of
workplace injuries can be much greater
in situations where the employer either
failed to provide LOTO procedures
and/or
failed
to
properly
train
employees. In cases where an employer
is found negligent in safety procedures,
multi-million-dollar lawsuits are not
uncommon.
Lean manufacturing today is not just a trend;
its a necessity to create a competitive
advantage. A lean philosophy can easily be
incorporated into a LOTO program by
consolidating tradesman knowledge, reducing
down times and promoting safety.

How We Work
Once contracted, Industrial Signs will perform
the following steps to complete the job:
1. Meet with You and Your Staff to Discuss
the Project
2. Develop a List of Machinery and
Equipment to Audit.
3. Audit your facility for all machinery and
equipment that have the potential for
requiring lockout. During the Audit we
will
coordinate
through
your
appropriate personnel to locate the
equipment,
lockout
points
and
procedures to develop the Lockout
placard.
4. We will make preliminary signs and
control tags. We will email or print and
mail an approval.
5. Upon receipt of the approved copy
(note: we will make any and all design
modifications at no additional cost to
you until the sign is approved) we will
make any changes and submit a final
paper or emailed copy. At this time we
will field check the procedures to
ensure accuracy.
6. Upon your approval sign off we will
then create the final output in metal.
The signs and control tags will come
with industrial double-sided tape or
holes.
7. We will package and ship to your
location.
8. Once at your location we will be happy
to mount the signs (simply peel and
stick), or you can easily install.
9. Set-up Lockout Training and Procedure
Program
We will develop, standardize and document
the lockout process for each energy source.
We will then identify employees levels of
involvement in the program; those that are
simply made aware, those that are directly
affected and those that are expected to
perform the lockout procedures.
