Multiple Lockout Job Audit Checklist
This Multiple Lockout Job Audit checklist helps verify compliance with lockout tagout procedures for maintenance work. It guides auditors to identify the employee and machine, confirm access to the correct specification sheet, determine the number of locks required, and ensure safe shutdown and dissipation of energy. Steps include applying serial locks and hasps, validating lockout with a start test, signing the specification sheet, securing keys and documents in the lockbox, and applying departmental and personal locks. The unlocking process covers inspections, key retrieval, removing locks in reverse order, reenergizing equipment, and returning the completed specification sheet. Optional photo prompts support documentation and sign off.

Energy Control (LOTO) Inspection
Use this Energy Control (LOTO) inspection checklist to verify proper lockout tagout practices during maintenance. Inspect the work area for barriers and signage, confirm equipment-specific LOTO procedures, and observe verification steps. Check that red locks, hasps, and ID tags are applied to each hazardous energy source, and that keys remain with the authorized person. Document findings, photos, and any deficiencies, and assign corrective actions. Before returning equipment to service, ensure guards and safety devices are reinstalled and tested, and that personnel are clear of the machine. Capture signatures of the maintenance personnel, inspector, and supervisor.
