How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter number of energy sources (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, gravitational) per machine.
  2. Enter isolation device count and required lockout device quantities.
  3. Read total energy control steps and minimum lockout device inventory needed.
  4. Verify each authorized employee has their own personal padlock assigned.
  5. Review the LOTO procedure against OSHA 1910.147 requirements for each identified energy source.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Energy Isolation Points = 4, Available Lockout Devices = 10, Authorized Workers = 3, Procedure Steps = 6 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Locks Required
    Locks Required
    12 = 12
  3. Calculate Total Procedure Time
    Total Procedure Time
    82 = 82
  4. Calculate Tag Sets Required
    Tag Sets Required
    12 = 12
  5. Calculate Locks Sufficient
    Locks Sufficient
    0 = 0
