Lockout/Tagout Annual Safety Audit
Steptron’s Lockout/Tagout Annual Audit verifies that your machine-specific LOTO procedures, placards, tags, and energy control points remain accurate, compliant, and fully aligned with OSHA 1910.147—identifying gaps, correcting deficiencies, and providing documented proof of annual recertification to protect your people, your equipment, and your organization.
