April 16, 2003—OSHA’s e-LOTO Software—Public Test Version 1.0 is interactive, compliance assistance software. Using workplace-specific input, the program generates a written hazardous energy control program including equipment-specific lockout/tagout procedures, inspection procedures, and training. Version 1.0 of e-LOTO is a DRAFT, not a final product.
e-LOTO can be used in conjunction with OSHA’s LOTO Plus Advisor. The LOTO Plus Advisor helps you understand and apply OSHA standards that protect workers from the release of hazardous energy. It provides an introduction to the scope and logic of several regulations and summary guidance to facilitate compliance.
The e-LOTO software is distributed from the OSHA Web site as self-extracting files, and the user manual is posted as a PDF document. e-LOTO is programmed in Microsoft Access using Visual Basiccoding.
OSHA invites the public to download, use, and comment on e-LOTO, which can be accessed from OSHA’s eTools page. Suggestions or comments on this software may be submitted to: e-LOTO@osha.gov.
