How to Use This Calculator
- Enter number of energy sources (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, gravitational) per machine.
- Enter isolation device count and required lockout device quantities.
- Read total energy control steps and minimum lockout device inventory needed.
- Verify each authorized employee has their own personal padlock assigned.
- Review the LOTO procedure against OSHA 1910.147 requirements for each identified energy source.
How the result changes with Energy Isolation Points
| Energy Isolation Points | Locks Required | Total Procedure Time (min) |
|---|---|---|
| 5.9 | 18 | 114 |
| 18 | 54 | 306 |
| 33 | 99 | 546 |
| 45 | 135 | 738 |
What each input means
- Energy Isolation Points
- Number of energy sources requiring isolation.
- Available Lockout Devices
- Number of locks and hasps currently available.
- Authorized Workers
- Number of workers applying personal locks.
- Procedure Steps
- Total steps in the LOTO procedure.
- Verification Time per Source (min)
