Missed isolation points
Digital isolation plans help teams identify equipment, energy sources, and required lockout steps before work starts.
Digital LOTO Management
Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Software
Digitize your lockout tagout process with PermitGuard. Plan isolations, apply locks, verify energy control, manage worker sign-on, and maintain a complete audit trail for every hazardous energy activity.

Why LOTO needs digital control
Standardize every isolation before work begins.
Lockout Tagout is one of the most critical steps in high-risk work. Paper-based LOTO procedures can create delays, missed isolation points, unclear responsibilities, and weak audit visibility.
PermitGuard helps safety teams standardize the complete LOTO process so every isolation is planned, verified, tracked, and released safely. LOTO can also stay connected to your Permit to Work Software workflows.
Paper-based delays
Mobile confirmation and structured workflows reduce back-and-forth between field teams, supervisors, and permit approvers.
Weak audit trail
Every lock, verification, release, comment, attachment, and approval is captured against the LOTO record.
How PermitGuard LOTO works
Plan, apply, verify, sign on, and release with control.
1
Plan Isolation
Select equipment, energy sources, isolation points, and required lockout steps before work begins.
2
Apply Lockout
Field teams apply locks and tags at the identified isolation points and confirm completion from the mobile app.
3
Verify Isolation
Authorized users verify zero-energy state before workers are allowed to sign on to the permit.
4
Worker Sign-On
Workers acknowledge the permit, hazards, controls, and LOTO status before starting work.
5
Release & Close
Locks are released only after work is completed, workers sign off, and approvals are recorded.
LOTO Software Features
Digital control for every hazardous energy activity.
Digital Isolation Planning+
Create isolation plans for assets, sub-assets, and equipment. Define lockout points, energy types, steps, and responsible users.
Isolation Point Management+
Maintain a structured database of isolation points with location, asset mapping, energy source, and verification requirements.
Permit-Linked LOTO+
Connect LOTO directly with Permit to Work workflows so isolations and permit approvals remain part of the same safety record.
Mobile Execution+
Allow field users to view isolation points, confirm lock application, capture photos, and verify steps from mobile devices.
Audit Trail+
Record every action, user, timestamp, comment, attachment, lock status, and approval for audit-ready reporting.
Lock Apply & Verification Workflow
Ensure lockout steps are applied and independently verified before work begins.
Worker Sign-On / Sign-Off
Ensure workers sign on only after isolation is verified and sign off before lock release.
Release Control
Prevent premature lock removal with controlled release workflows and approval checks.
Complete Audit Trail
Record every action, user, timestamp, comment, attachment, lock status, and approval for audit-ready reporting.
Mobile field execution
Apply, verify, and release LOTO from the field.
Field users can view isolation points, confirm lock application, capture photos, add comments, and verify steps from mobile devices. See how this works across the Mobile Permit App.
Audit & compliance
Audit-ready LOTO records without paper chasing.
Reduce LOTO mistakes
Standardized workflows reduce missed steps, incomplete isolation, and undocumented lock removal.
Improve field accountability
Every action is linked to a user, time, permit, and isolation point.
Strengthen compliance
Maintain digital records of planning, application, verification, release, and closure.
Increase visibility
Supervisors can see active isolations, pending verifications, and permits blocked by LOTO status.

FAQ
Lockout Tagout Software FAQs
What is LOTO software?
LOTO software helps organizations digitally manage lockout tagout procedures, isolation points, lock application, verification, release, and audit records.
Can PermitGuard LOTO be linked with permits?
Yes. PermitGuard connects LOTO activities directly with Permit to Work workflows so high-risk work cannot proceed until required isolations are completed and verified.
Does PermitGuard support mobile LOTO?
Yes. Field users can apply, verify, and release LOTO steps from mobile devices with photos, comments, and digital confirmations.
Can we configure isolation points?
Yes. You can configure assets, sub-assets, isolation points, energy types, and verification requirements based on your facility.
Is the LOTO process auditable?
Yes. PermitGuard maintains a complete audit trail of every LOTO action, including user, time, status, comments, and attachments.
