Which is a primary cause of LO-TO accidents?

A primary cause of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) accidents is the failure to properly implement lockout/tagout procedures during maintenance or servicing of equipment. This can occur due to inadequate training, lack of awareness of the hazards, or oversight in following established safety protocols. When workers do not properly isolate energy sources, they are at risk of accidental machine start-up, leading to severe injuries or fatalities. Consistent enforcement of LOTO procedures and comprehensive training are essential to prevent these accidents.
