The main federal agency of the US Department of Labor, OSHA was established in 1971 by the Congress under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The mission of the agency is to “assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance”.

OSHA’s health and safety standards are aimed at preventing accidents and accidental use of energy. The federal agency enforces the development, documentation, implementation, and enforcement of energy control procedures. It recommends that only lockout/ tagout devices authorized for a particular machinery or equipment are used, and that these devices are durable, standardized and substantial. It also asks to ensure that lockout tagout devices identify individual users. OSHA further recommends the establishment of a policy that permits only the employee who applied a LOTO device to remove it. Energy control procedures need to be inspected at least annually. Furthermore, effective training is to be provided for all employees.
