A lockout station is a designated area or set-up within a workplace where lockout/tagout (LOTO) devices and equipment are stored and organized for use during maintenance, repair, or service activities. It’s a central location where workers can easily access lockout devices such as locks, hasps, tags, and other necessary tools to perform safe lockout/tagout procedures.

Key Features of a Lockout Station:

Storage for LOTO Devices:

A lockout station typically includes organized compartments, bins, or shelves for storing various lockout devices like padlocks, hasps, breaker lockouts, circuit breaker lockout devices, and tags.

Labels and Tags:

It will also have tags and markers for workers to use in order to identify the reason for lockout and provide other important information (e.g., worker name, date, department, etc.).
