LOTO stands for?

• A. Lock out tag out
• B. Look out tag out
• C. Lock out take out
• D. Lock up tag out

Answer: (A)

LOTO stands for Lockout/Tagout, a safety procedure used to control hazardous energy during maintenance. Lockout means applying a physical lock to energy‑isolation devices so the equipment cannot be energized, while tagout places a warning tag on the device indicating it must not be operated. Together, they prevent accidental startup and the release of stored energy while someone is working. The phrasing shown, Lock out tag out, captures that concept, even though many sources write it as Lockout/Tagout with a slash. The other phrases miss or alter parts of the term and wouldn’t communicate the same safety meaning.
