Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Services

At The Harmony Group, we specialize in helping organizations maintain a safe working environment by ensuring proper Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures. These measures are crucial for preventing electrical hazards, ensuring compliance, and protecting workers from serious injuries.

Electrical Safety

Electricity is a powerful tool in any workplace but also a significant hazard when not handled correctly. Electrical safety focuses on identifying risks associated with electrical systems and implementing controls to minimize harm.

Key Electrical Hazards

• Electric Shock: Contact with live electrical parts.
• Arc Flash: Explosive release of energy caused by an electrical fault.
• Burns: From electrical equipment overheating or fires.
• Fires and Explosions: Triggered by faulty wiring, equipment, or static discharge.
• Faulty Equipment: Unsafe tools, frayed wires, or damaged circuits.

Our Electrical Safety Services

• Hazard Identification: Conducting electrical risk assessments to identify potential hazards.
• Inspections and Maintenance: Regular inspections of wiring, tools, and equipment for wear and tear. Developing preventive maintenance schedules.
• Training Programs: Educating employees on electrical safety protocols, including proper tool handling and hazard recognition.
• Emergency Preparedness: Establishing response plans for electrical incidents. Training employees on using fire extinguishers and first aid for electrical injuries.
• Compliance Assurance: Ensuring adherence to local and international standards, such as NFPA 70E and OSHA requirements.

Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)

Lockout/Tagout procedures are critical for controlling hazardous energy during equipment servicing or maintenance. Proper LOTO practices ensure that machinery and electrical systems are completely de-energized before work begins.

What is LOTO?

Lockout/Tagout is a safety system involving two main steps:

• Lockout: Physically isolating energy sources using locks to prevent accidental reactivation.
• Tagout: Using tags to communicate that equipment is under maintenance and should not be operated.

Our LOTO Services

• LOTO Program Development: Creating comprehensive procedures tailored to your facility’s needs. Establishing clear policies for lockout/tagout practices.
• Training and Certification: Training workers on LOTO protocols, including proper use of locks and tags. Certifying employees in compliance with OSHA’s Control of Hazardous Energy Standard (29 CFR 1910.147).
• Procedure Implementation: Identifying all energy sources and documenting step-by-step isolation processes. Installing standardized LOTO devices and signage.
• Audits and Reviews: Conducting periodic reviews of LOTO practices to ensure compliance and effectiveness. Identifying gaps and updating procedures as needed.
• Emergency Management: Establishing protocols for situations where locks or tags are mistakenly removed.
