Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) violations remain in OSHA's top 10 most cited violations every single year since the 1980s. Despite extensive regulations, training programs, and safety initiatives, traditional LOTO systems continue to fail workers and companies.
This isn't a training problem. This isn't a compliance problem. This is a technology problem - traditional paper tags and manual processes simply cannot provide the safety, accountability, and real-time information that modern workplaces demand.
OSHA Reference: 1910.147 Lockout/Tagout Standard
In 2023, Northern Power and Safety Solutions, LLC was born from a simple realization: traditional LOTO tags had their chance and they failed. Founder Bryan Stewart, with extensive experience in machining, engineering, and security systems, decided to build something better.
We didn't just improve the tag - we reimagined the entire LOTO process. Our Smart LOTO Tag System had to:
To make workplace safety second nature through technology that actually works.
We're not here to sell you another training program or compliance manual. We're here to give you a tool that eliminates the safety gaps that have persisted for decades. A tool that makes following safety procedures as natural as checking your phone.
Our goal: accident-free workplaces become the new norm, not the exception.
The following data illustrates the persistent nature of LOTO violations and why traditional approaches have failed to solve this critical safety issue:
LOTO violations have consistently ranked in OSHA's top 10 most cited violations for over 40 years, demonstrating the failure of traditional approaches.
Traditional LOTO systems fail because they rely on 1980s technology in 2024 workplaces. Here's what's broken:
Illegible tags, missing information, and human errors that paper systems can't prevent.
Critical safety information takes hours to reach the right people instead of seconds.
Compliance documentation that disappears, gets damaged, or becomes outdated.
Nobody knows who's working, when they started, or if they're still on the job.
Critical information gaps when workers change shifts, leading to safety breakdowns.
Tags that show yesterday's information instead of real-time current status.
LOCKOUT ID doesn't just improve LOTO - it transforms it from a liability into an asset. Every problem with traditional systems becomes a strength with our Smart LOTO Tag System:
No more handwriting errors. Scan any tag instantly for complete worker and safety information.
Everything in one place: worker profiles, shift status, compliance records, and real-time updates.
Access critical safety information from any device - phone, tablet, computer, or smart TV.
Tap your phone to the tag and instantly update shift status. No more paper sign-in sheets.
Know exactly who's working, where they are, and what they're doing in real-time.
Changes happen instantly. Everyone knows the current status immediately, not hours later.
Founder & CEO
With extensive experience in machining, engineering computer systems, and security, Bryan recognized the critical need for a better approach to workplace safety. His background in multiple technical disciplines provided the foundation for developing LOCKOUT ID's innovative Smart LOTO Tag System.
We're done with "that's just how it is" when it comes to workplace safety.
For 40 years, companies have accepted LOTO violations as inevitable. They've blamed workers, blamed training, blamed compliance. But the real problem has always been the tools they're using.
LOCKOUT ID changes everything. It's not just better technology - it's the right technology for the problems that actually exist in real workplaces. Technology that works the way people actually work, not the way safety manuals say they should work.
Our commitment: accident-free workplaces become the new normal, not the impossible dream.
