One of the most important OSHA standards to ensure adherence to is Standard 1910.147. This standard governs lockout tagout procedures, which are extremely difficult to comply with and even more difficult to maintain.  Every time a piece of machinery is changed, a company procedure is updated, or an employee is moved, the lockout tagout library needs to be updated, and tracking these changes can create a huge problem for many business owners and safety teams.

Fortunately, software has been created which allows safety professionals to quickly and effectively track and manage all lockout tagout changes. PF Safety has created a fully scalable, fully customizable software for lockout tagout called Factory Solutions Software, which comes preloaded with a database of procedure libraries that can be adapted to meet your needs. And best of all, this software can be accessed from anywhere internet is available, as the software is 100% web based.

Once a procedure library is created with this software, it is easy to identify energy isolation points and create and place the required placards. And as your business changes, it is as simple as keying the changes into the program to uncover new isolation points and to determine where new placards should go. Factory Solutions Software helps business owners ensure their company is always compliant with lockout tagout procedures, regardless of changes going on.
