The SBN Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Pro mobile application is a powerful, user-friendly tool that provides you with the ability to generate proper safe-handling procedures, real-time, in order to better protect workers from the release of hazardous energy during the servicing or maintenance of equipment. With our mobile application you can easily create and share LOTO procedures, including relevant photos, notes, barcodes, and signatures. You can specify Energy Isolation (EI), Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other Safety Equipment requirements. Once a LOTO procedure is generated, it can be easily retrieved from your library in order to log and track worker adherence to the LOTO procedures, as well as better demonstrate compliance against OSHA and other safety standards. The SBN LOTO mobile tool functions only for users with an existing Simple But Needed, Inc. account.
