Enhance Your Lockout/Tagout PROCEDURES
Our approach saves lives and prevents injuries to your employees

A key requirement of the OSHA Lockout/Tagout regulation (1910.147) is that you are required to develop written Lockout Tagout procedures. Steptron takes this requirement a step further by developing machine specific visually engineered road maps that easily and safely illustrate how to de-energize process or facility equipment to perform maintenance or sanitation tasks.

Our visual roadmaps, referred to as placards, act like 24/7 instructors reducing training for new and temporary employees. The combination of the graphical procedures (Placards) and tags function like a shopping mall directory showing “You Are Here” with step-by-step procedures labeled with visual tags that are placed at each lockout point on the equipment. This approach saves lives and prevents injuries to your employees while improving overall productivity.
