LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
Graphical Procedure Writing Software does much of the work of writing your
procedures, using:
•
Color-coded, graphical formats
that ensure procedures are easy to understand and apply.
•A
database
of graphics, terms, methods, controls, steps, and other energy-source information
important to include on procedures.
• Three
template forms
to handle virtually any size procedure.
• A clear and thorough process that
prompts you
through all elements of an effective
lockout/tagout procedure.
•
Lockout-tag and energy-label formats
that pull information directly from the procedure for fast
and easy printing of supplemental or related materials to use in your energy-control program.
•A
built-in image editor
that makes the application self-contained.
When it’s time to write a procedure, you:
• Make selections specific to the identity and location of the equipment and energy sources
involved.
• Optionally select images to insert, and add any additional notes, if desired.
• Print the procedure, fully laid out and incorporating your selections and notes.
• Print lockout tags and energy labels, which pull their data from the procedure just created.
Note: For details on how to write procedures, see Chapter 5: Creating or Editing
Procedures.
