This electrical lockout tagout checklist guides teams through a safe de-energization process. It covers preparation, removing load, de-energizing, isolating, verifying absence of voltage, grounding, and protecting adjacent energized circuits. It also includes electrical testing, temporary LOTO release for testing, and final release steps to restore power. Roles for the customer and the person in charge are defined, with emphasis on PPE, arc flash boundaries, signage, and documentation. Complex LOTO scenarios such as utility disconnects and multi-shift continuity are addressed.
