The short answer: Work permit is an administrative control system that manages what conditions a particular work can be done.LOTO/EKED is the energy control method that physically separates, locks and verifies dangerous energy.
What does the work permit control?
It manages the scope of the work, time, area, authorization, hot work, closed space, high-level work and necessary measures.
What does the LOTO control?
It separates the dangerous energy that reaches the machine or process; it locks the separation point, eliminates the stored energy and verifies the zero-energy status.
When are both used together?
The conditions of the work permit in maintenance, cleaning, settlement or failure work with energy hazards are linked to the machine-specific LOTO procedure within the same work package.
How is responsibility separated?
The person who approves the work permit, the authorized staff and the team that performs the energy isolation may have different roles. Signatures should not replace real field verification.
