Wind Project O&M and Safety Conference

LOTO in the 21st Century (Room Mission Bay)

Lock-out Tag-out is a critical part of any safety framework and is one element that can help us ensure the safety of our workers.   The goal of isolating the worker from any hazardous energy and creating a safe working environment can be difficult task when faced with new technologies, working with multiple contractors, and ensuring verification of LOTO when teams may be working in remote or difficult to access environments.  These are only some of the challenges we may face in preserving an effective lock-out tag-out program.  This panel hopes to discuss some of these challenges and how we are addressing them in the wind industry now and in the future.
