Lockout/Tagout Saves
Lives and Reduces Costs!
Approximately 10% of all industrial accidents are caused by failure to
properly control hazardous energy.
According to OSHA, this leads to
250,000 incidents, resulting in 50,000 injuries and an estimated 120
fatalities every year.

Studies have shown that energy control programs can reduce injury
rates by 25 to 50 percent!

OSHA IS CITING LO/TO VIOLATORS
Due to the serious risk that hazardous energy poses to employees, OSHA is
stepping up inspections and citations.
In fact, the Lockout/Tagout standard
has become the #1 most cited OSHA regulation for manufacturers.
