Lockout is equipment-specific.
So is the way it goes wrong.

A generic checklist tells you to isolate, lock, tag and verify. It cannot tell you that a turbine's pitch UPS must stay live, that a crusher's feed hopper is an energy source, or that a rotary filler's CO₂ purge line is the one that hurts. These pages can — each with a real worked example.

Manufacturing

Cells, conveyors and presses — where most LOTO citations come from.

Worked example: RC-14 Robot Weld Cell - Weld Tip Change Isolation · 11 isolation points

Food & Beverage

Sanitation, CIP and bowl entry — lockout under production pressure.

Worked example: FL-3 Filler - Capper Head Service and Bowl Entry · 13 isolation points

Semiconductor

Etch chambers, toxic gas and RF — isolation with a hazard on every line.

Worked example: PE-2200 Etch Chamber A — Wet Clean Isolation · 10 isolation points

Mining & Aggregates

Crushers, conveyors and stored energy at scale.

Worked example: CR-101 Primary Crusher — Mantle Change Isolation · 10 isolation points

Wind Energy

Nacelle, hub and the UPS that must stay live.

Worked example: WTG-07 Gearbox Inspection and Hub Entry · 12 isolation points

Oil & Gas

Rigs, tanks and terminals — lockout alongside permits, not instead of them.

Worked example: RIG-27 Rig Down for Relocation · 18 isolation points

Water & Wastewater

Tanks, pumps and confined spaces — two standards on every entry.

Worked example: MUD-T2 Confined Space Entry - Tank Clean and Inspect · 12 isolation points

Rail

Possessions, OLE isolation and earthing — lockout across a network.

Worked example: Possession — Down Main MP12.4 to MP15.8 · 10 isolation points

Aviation MRO

Hydraulics at 3,000 psi and a flight-control surface that moves.

Worked example: AMM 27-51 — Trailing Edge Flap Actuator Replacement · 13 isolation points

Amusement & Attractions

Rides, LSM cabinets and public-facing restart.

Worked example: RC-01 Thunderbolt — LSM Cabinet Service · 12 isolation points

Automotive

Robot cells, press lines and takt-time lockouts.

Worked example: RC-14 Robot Weld Cell - Weld Tip Change Isolation · 11 isolation points

Ropeways & Tramways

Haul ropes, drive terminals and stored tension.

Worked example: TRAM-1 — Haul Rope Inspection and Sheave Change · 11 isolation points

Tank & Terminal

Blinding, hot work and the permit that should wait for the isolation.

Worked example: TK-401 Nozzle Weld Repair - Hot Work · 10 isolation points
