LOCKOUT / TAGOUT

6-Step LOTO Process

The complete Horus Lockout/Tagout workflow — from digital request to controlled energy release.

Request

Lockout Request

The process starts with a digital lockout request in the Horus system. The requester selects the lockout matrix — which already contains all mapped equipment — and the system automatically generates the necessary tags.

Actions

Log into the Horus system (kiosk or tablet)

Select the lockout matrix

Confirm the equipment list for the operation

System automatically generates the lockout tags

Deliver the tags to the person responsible for the physical lockout in the field

OSHA 1910.147 §(d)(3) — Energy control procedure

Field Lockout

Primary Source Lockout

The authorized technician goes to the field with a tablet. Scanning the QR Code on each panel allows Horus to instantly identify each lockout point and guide the technician through every physical isolation step, eliminating human error.

Actions

Go to the equipment location with the Horus App on a tablet

Scan the QR Code on the panel to identify the lockout point

Horus confirms the equipment and displays isolation instructions

Verify zero energy state (voltage test, pressure relief, etc.)

Apply physical padlock on the energy isolation device

Attach lockout tag identifying the responsible technician

OSHA 1910.147 §(d)(4) — Energy isolation

Activation

Lockout Activation — Key Custody

Back at the Horus panel, the technician stores the equipment keys in the secure compartment. The system performs electronic signal validation and officially activates the lockout state, synchronizing physical and digital control.

Actions

Approach the Horus panel

Select the lockout station on the panel interface

Insert the keys into the panel compartment

Compartment closes automatically; system validates the signal

Status changes to "Active Lockout" — equipment is secure

Optionally, add personal padlock to the panel for extra protection

OSHA 1910.147 §(d)(5) — Lockout/Tagout device application

Individual Inclusion

Worker Lockout Inclusion

Before entering the risk zone, each authorized worker must register their individual lockout in the Horus system. This creates individual accountability — the equipment cannot be re-energized while any worker's padlock is installed.

Actions

Authenticate at the Horus kiosk

Select the active lockout

Choose "Include My Lockout"

Confirm the inclusion of the digital lockout with facial recognition

System automatically logs worker, date, and time

OSHA 1910.147 §(d)(6) — Additional employee protection

Individual Removal

Individual Lockout Removal

Upon completing the activity, each worker confirms completion in the Horus system. The system verifies if there are other workers still active before authorizing the removal of the individual padlock, ensuring no one is left exposed.

Actions

Worker confirms completion of the intervention in the system

Horus verifies if there are still linked workers

Worker removes their individual digital lockout

System updates the active workers list in real time

After removal of all individual lockouts, primary lockout removal is authorized

System records date, time, and responsible for each removal

OSHA 1910.147 §(e) — Release from lockout or tagout

Release

Primary Lockout Removal

Final step. With no active workers, the lockout officer authenticates biometrically at the kiosk. The system releases the key compartment, allowing the maintenance team to safely re-energize the equipment and return it to operation.

Actions

Verify that there are no active workers in the system

Go to the Horus kiosk and select active lockout

Authenticate by facial recognition

System releases the key compartment electronically

Retrieve keys and hand them over to the maintenance team for re-energization

OSHA 1910.147 §(e)(3) — Re-energization
