We have previously discussed OSHA lockout procedure requirements, as per OSHA 1910.147. In this post, we would like to discuss maintaining your OSHA compliance after initially getting yourself compliant. It is difficult – extremely difficult – to maintain your compliance without the help of either a dedicated representative (or, in some cases, dedicated team) or software designed to monitor your compliance.

Luckily, many companies have developed user friendly software which can handle this task. With this software, you can create a baseline representation of your company and update it as machinery, personnel, and responsibilities change. This allows you to keep a current and fully updated framework, with annotations that document the changes your company has made. Further, this software will often allow specific individuals to log in and have access in real time to the stored information.

This software is a great tool to monitor your compliance in between annual audits, and should be used in conjunction with annual audits, and only after completing a facility wide lockout program. Once you set your lockout program, schedule your annual audits, and begin using relevant software, you will be guarding yourself against unexpected or unforeseen safety risks.

If you are ready to get some more information about the cost saving, time saving, and headache saving software that we offer, take a look here to get more information. Then, contact us to get started. If you have any additional information pertaining to lockout tagout monitoring, please leave a comment, so we can get a discussion on this topic going.
