Energy is the main parameter for equipment and operating process facilities in enterprises. Energy is a useful and profitable parameter for both industry and human life. Energy will be harmful if maintenance or repair activities are carried out on any workplace equipment or system without following effective and safe procedures. It can cause organizational loss, such as personal injury, equipment damage or any damage. In this study, LOTO designs for the control of hazardous energy in certain areas in the construction industry are included. With the use of this technology, which has a new place in the market, good information about single line drawing and correct application methods can be reached.
