This is a written explanation of how I was taught to perform Group Lockout and how to manage contractors working on-site under a Group Lockout. There are many things in this document that are NOT required by OSHA; however, they are in the program to ensure compliance with OSHA’s minimum expectations. We did it this way after many near misses over my career involving “group LOTO” and contractors.
