The core paperwork for a lockout/tagout program
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(1) asks for a program made of three things: energy control procedures, employee training and periodic inspections. This kit gives you a place to write and track all three, with each requirement section tied to the paragraph it comes from.
LOTO Program Workbook
Machine register with next inspection due and overdue flag, inspection certification log, training record and lock register.
Machine-Specific Procedure template
Energy sources table, the (d)(1) to (d)(6) lockout sequence, release, group and shift-change sections.
Written Energy Control Program template
Purpose, responsibilities, procedures, hardware, training, retraining, periodic inspections, contractors.
Periodic Inspection Certification form
One page per procedure per year: machine, date, employees included, inspector, findings.
The record you owe every year: the periodic inspection
Each procedure must be inspected at least once a year by an authorized employee who does not use it, and the employer must certify it: machine, date, employees included and inspector ((c)(6)). The workbook calculates the next due date for every machine and flags anything overdue or never inspected.
Small US plants and shops
- Maintenance and EHS leads who own the lockout program
- Machine shops and fabricators without a safety department
- Plant engineers writing procedures for new or modified machines
Straight answers
- Not a site survey: you identify the energy sources on your machines.
- Not legal advice or a compliance certificate. The employer stays responsible under 29 CFR 1910.147 and any state plan.
- No locks or hardware included.

Questions
Which OSHA standard does it follow?
29 CFR 1910.147, The control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout), for general industry. Each section of the templates names the paragraph it is based on. Check whether a state plan applies to you.
Do I need a written procedure for every machine?
Generally yes. The note to 1910.147(c)(4)(i) lets an employer skip documenting a procedure for a particular machine only when all eight listed conditions are met.
Can I edit the files?
Yes. They are Word and Excel files for use in your own business. Please do not resell them.
What if a file does not open?
Email kits@proxom.co.uk within 30 days and we will fix it or refund you. See Terms.
