LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) Prosedür Geliştirme ve Enerji İzolasyon Danışmanlığı ve Mühendisliği

The most dangerous time in an industrial facility is when a machine stops. Every intervention for maintenance, repair, or troubleshooting carries the potential for a fatal accident due to the unexpected release of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, or chemical energy.

Of the more than 15,000 machinery-related workplace accidents that occur each year, 42% are attributable to a lack of energy isolation. More importantly, nearly all of these accidents could have been prevented with a proper Lockout (LOTO) system.

There is only one methodology that, when implemented correctly, reduces this risk to zero: LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) – Tag, Lock, Secure, Try.

SWL’s End-to-End LOTO Consulting and Engineering Services

At SWL, we do not view LOTO systems merely as a legal obligation, but as a living safety culture that must be integrated into the operational DNA of your facility.

  • Legal Compliance and Gap Analysis: We identify your legal compliance gaps and risks by auditing your current applications in light of Law No. 6331, relevant regulations and international standards (ISO 14118, etc.).
  • Energy Isolation Mapping: We systematically identify all hazardous energy sources (electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, etc.) in your facility and create comprehensive isolation point maps / equipment-based diagrams.
  • Development of Equipment-Specific LOTO Procedures: For each machine and equipment, we develop visual, step-by-step, technically accurate LOTO instructions that anyone in the field can easily understand and implement.
  • Documentation and Competency Development: We establish the documentation infrastructure of your entire LOTO system; we design and implement theoretical and practical training programs for your employees at different levels (implementer, auditor).

Our LOTO Procedure Development Services

The basis of an effective LOTO program is not theoretical documentation, but equipment-specific procedures that the field technician can easily and accurately apply at every step.

At SWL, we develop LOTO instructions that are not only compliant with standards but also visual, clear, and user-friendly. Our engineers analyze the specific lockout points, de-energization steps, and testing procedures for each machine and equipment.

As a result, we create a viable and applicable procedural infrastructure that will be adopted by your employees, fully meets legal requirements (ISO 14118, etc.) and, most importantly, eliminates the risk of accidents.

SWL’s LOTO (EKED) consulting and engineering services are not just a safety investment; they’re also a strategy that directly improves your operational and financial efficiency. The average gains we’ve seen from our industrial partners who have fully implemented our systems are:

 

Financial Gains:

  • Up to 70% Reduction in Accident Costs: Thanks to accidents prevented by proper energy insulation, there is a significant reduction in treatment, compensation and production loss costs.

  • Potential for Insurance Premium Reductions of Up to 40%: A demonstrable and systematic risk management program provides premium advantages in the eyes of insurance companies.

  • Maintenance Time Optimization by Up to 25%: Thanks to standard and clear procedures, preparation and waiting times of maintenance teams are shortened and effective working time is increased.

  • Minimizing the Risk of Legal Sanctions: Strong protection against the risks of administrative fines and suspension of operations with a system fully compliant with legislation.

Operational Improvements:

  • Procedure Compliance Rate Over 95%: Thanks to visual and user-friendly instructions, the rate of employees complying with procedures and their correct application increases.

  • Increased Maintenance Efficiency by Up to 80%: Maintenance operations are accelerated by reducing the time spent on energy isolation and locking operations.

  • Up to 60% Reduction in Audit Preparation Time: Thanks to digital and organized documentation, the preparation time for internal and external audits is shortened.

  • Full Compliance with Legislation and Standards: The established system fully meets the requirements of Law No. 6331 and all relevant sub-regulations.
