The Standards Safety Procedures Group has developed the Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) Guide to provide clear, practical guidance on the lockout and tagging of switches and equipment that serve as isolation points within the electricity ‘works’ environment. The guide is intended to complement, not replace, existing legislative and regulatory requirements, and is based on good practice as recognised by industry representatives.
An initial draft was sent out for consultation and feedback considered, including submissions questioning the need for a dedicated LOTO guide given the existence of various standards and internal procedures.
Both the EEA Executive and Electricity Networks Aotearoa reiterated their support for the development of this guide as a mechanism to provide clear, industry-specific guidance to lift LOTO and health and safety standards.
