An EHSQ module from TenForce provides a structured, electronic approach to Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures. It enables teams to define energy sources, isolation points, and steps for safe shutdown, while ensuring procedures comply with safety standards. Authorized personnel can initiate LOTO, with the system capturing who performed the action, when, and when it can be lifted. This clarity reduces human error and strengthens safety accountability across maintenance activities.

Replacing manual paperwork with electronic records, the module streamlines the entire LOTO process. It keeps procedures up to date as equipment or processes change, reduces administrative overhead, and accelerates updates to maintain consistent safety practices. Role-based access control helps secure the process, while automated record-keeping supports compliance and easy retrieval during audits.

The solution supports Permit to Work (PTW) integration, notifying affected employees and embedding ongoing LOTO information within PTW workflows. Verification and testing steps confirm that energy sources are isolated and equipment remains non-operational before work begins, enabling safe start-up once work is complete. Removal and restoration workflows ensure locks and tags are removed only by authorized personnel and equipment is safely returned to operation.

Audits, reporting, and analytics are streamlined through automated data collection and ready-made reports for internal reviews, regulatory compliance, and incident investigations. Seamless integration with other TenForce modules unifies EHSQ processes, delivering a comprehensive view of safety, compliance, and quality across the organization. Real-world metrics highlight impact: a significant decrease in incidents related to machinery startups during maintenance and faster shutdown/startup times, translating into safer operations and reduced downtime.
