Which safety procedure ensures that stored energy (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic) is safely released before maintenance begins?

Accepted Answer

Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)

Answer

Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures control hazardous energy by locking energy sources and tagging equipment to prevent accidental startup during maintenance.

Question 5
