Lockstep
OSHA 1910.147 lockout/tagout

Writing LOTO procedures took hours. Lockstep turns a walk around the machine into a finished one.

A tech records a voice memo and takes photos at the machine. Lockstep turns that capture into a machine-specific OSHA 1910.147 procedure. Your engineer reviews it, signs off, and exports a stamped PDF.

The real Lockstep field app mid-capture: voice memo recording on a machine
About 5 minutes, then back to work
The old way

Every procedure was a two-hour writing project

And the finished paper started drifting from the machine the day it was filed.

2 hours per machine

Walk the machine, take notes, type it up, format it, file it. Multiply by every machine on the floor.

Paper that doesn't match the machine

Procedures written from memory or a template, so the steps on paper drift from the equipment on the floor.

Binders nobody updates

The procedure goes in a binder, the machine changes, and the binder stays exactly the same.

Lockstep starts from the actual machine, and takes about 5 minutes.
How it works

Four steps from plant floor to stamped PDF

Lockstep does the writing. A qualified person does the approving. Nothing goes on the floor without an engineer's signature.

1

Capture on the phone

A tech walks the machine, records a voice memo, and takes photos. No forms, no laptop.

2

The draft writes itself

The recording and photos become a machine-specific OSHA 1910.147 lockout/tagout draft, in minutes.

3

An engineer reviews and signs

A qualified engineer reads the draft, edits what needs editing, and signs off with their name on it.

4

Stamped PDF, done

The signed procedure exports as a stamped PDF, ready for the machine, the binder, and the auditor.

Lockstep drafts. A qualified person approves. Every procedure is reviewed and signed by your engineer before it is used. Lockstep speeds up the writing, not the judgment.
What you get

Built around the machine, and around the person who signs

The part safety managers care about

Engineer sign-off, with versioning

Every procedure carries its status and history: what the first draft said, what the engineer changed, and who signed it. When a machine changes, revise and re-sign, and the record keeps up.

Generatedwritten, nobody has signed it yet
In Reviewan engineer has been through it
Signed Offapproved, stamped, exportable

Machine-specific, from real photos

Drafted from the actual machine's energy sources and isolation points, not a generic template.

Stamped PDF exports

Every signed procedure exports as a stamped PDF: post it at the machine, hand it to the auditor.

Your plant, walled off

Each company runs in its own isolated setup: your machines, your people, your procedures, nobody else's.

Works on the plant floor

Runs in the phone's browser, nothing to install. Capture happens at the machine, not back at a desk.

The manager's side

Every machine, every status, one screen

The admin dashboard shows your procedures by machine: what just came in from the floor, what is in review, what is signed off and posted. You always know where the plant stands.

Procedures organized by machine, with new, in-review, and signed-off status at a glance.
Edit the draft right in the review screen before it goes anywhere near the floor.
Sign-off is recorded on the procedure, and the exported PDF carries the stamp.
Version history stays with each machine, so revisions never lose the paper trail.

The math

You are not buying software.
You are buying hours and a clean audit.

Put in your plant and see what hand-authoring actually costs. If our assumptions don't match your shop, change them.

Machines in your plant
Hours to hand-author one procedure
Hourly cost of the person writing them ($)
400 hours
of writing time to hand-author every procedure. That is 10 straight work weeks.
$24,000
of paid time spent typing instead of running the plant
With Lockstep, capturing all 200 machines takes about 17 hours, at 5 minutes each.
And that is just the time. A single OSHA lockout/tagout violation runs $16k and up.
