LOTO is lock out tag out, so it's the same thing lol.
The LO part is because you're supposed to literally lock the machine with a padlock that only you have the key to so no one start it while you're in the danger zone.
Someone cut this guy's $90 American lock off with an angle grinder to run it anyways...
You can also see that there's multiple holes for locks so multiple people can have the machine/area locked out at the same time and you can't start anything until all of them unlock it. So someone was in a hurry and didn't wait for the last guy.
In he navy we just had the red and yellow tags, no padlock, and I have never heard of a safety incident involving tagged out equipment. Amazing that the private sector manages to be even more sociopathic than the us navy.
Whoever cut that needs to be beat with a bike chain. That shit is insane
