LOTO Requirements

Q:  We purchased a deluxe lock out/tag out kit.  Does this have to be in a place for everyone to see, or can we keep it in the office and advise everyone where it is?  Maybe post a signs where to locate it.
A: To answer your question it does not have to be in a place where everyone can see it.  However, it does need to be in a place that all of the Authorized Lo/To Personal know where it is, and that they can access it at all times.  For example, you don’t want to keep it in an office that could be locked and the Authorized Personal would not be able to access it.
