Setting lockout tagout procedures for your facility is hard. Maintaining your procedures over time and monitoring the accuracy of updates to your system is even harder. Each time there is an upgrade or addition to your machinery, or there is a change in personnel, there is the need to ensure the procedure library is still up to date and accurate. Further, you need to ensure that machines which have changed or been added to your company are fully lockout tagout compliant.

For many business owners, it is cheaper and more time effective to simply utilize software to track and monitor these changes. Unfortunately, most software requires routine updates to ensure accuracy to the most recently updated regulations. This, too, can create problems for many business owners, as outdated software can create a situation where a non-compliant machine is registering as compliant after policy changes.

To combat this problem, it is best to use web based software that is continually updated as needed, ensuring your procedures are checked against the most recent regulatory changes. Here at PF Safety, we have created a web based program which is fully scalable, fully customizable, and guaranteed to always be updated, that allows you to manage and track your lockout tagout procedures.
