Boost Safety & Compliance with Brady Lockout Tagout Equipment

Protect employees and support OSHA compliance with Brady Lockout Tagout (LOTO) products. Proper Lockout Tagout procedures help prevent the unexpected startup of machinery and the release of hazardous energy during equipment maintenance, servicing, and repair.

What Is Lockout Tagout (LOTO)?

Lockout Tagout (LOTO) is a safety procedure that isolates hazardous energy sources before employees perform maintenance or service on equipment. OSHA's Hazardous Energy Control standard (29 CFR 1910.147) requires employers to establish energy control procedures that protect workers from electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, and other stored energy sources.

A comprehensive LOTO program helps reduce workplace injuries, prevent equipment damage, and improve compliance while creating a stronger culture of safety throughout your facility.

Essential Brady Lockout Tagout Equipment

Brady Lockout Tagout solutions are designed to secure hazardous energy sources and support OSHA compliance in manufacturing plants, warehouses, utilities, and industrial facilities.

• Lockout Padlocks & Identification Labels: Clearly identify authorized employees, equipment, and lockout status using durable labels and lockout padlocks.
• Lockout Hasps: Lockout hasps allow multiple authorized employees to safely lock out the same energy source during group maintenance activities.
• Valve Lockout Devices: Secure ball valves, butterfly valves, gate valves, plug valves, pneumatic valves, and other pressurized systems using Brady valve lockouts.
• Circuit Breaker Lockouts: Electrical lockout devices isolate most circuit breakers, including snap-on, clamp-on, oversized, and multi-pole configurations.
• Lockout Kits & Stations: Brady lockout kits provide the devices needed to safely isolate hazardous energy sources while helping standardize LOTO procedures across your facility.

Best Practices for Implementing a Lockout Tagout Program

An effective Lockout Tagout program includes more than selecting the right devices. OSHA requires documented energy control procedures, employee training, and periodic inspections to maintain compliance.

Best practices include:

• Identify every hazardous energy source within your facility.
• Develop machine-specific Lockout Tagout procedures.
• Train authorized and affected employees on proper LOTO procedures.
• Provide readily accessible lockout stations and devices.
• Conduct routine audits and update procedures as equipment changes.
• Replace worn or damaged lockout devices immediately.

Why Employee Training Matters

Employee training is one of the most important components of an effective Lockout Tagout program. Maintenance personnel, electricians, operators, and supervisors should understand when Lockout Tagout is required, how to properly isolate hazardous energy, and how to verify that equipment is safely de-energized before work begins.
