Martin Technical’s RAPID LOTO™ program is a proprietary system developed by Martin Technical that allows more accurate lockout procedure development with faster turnaround time. Our professional lockout technicians use Rapid LOTO™ lockout software, and an in-field process to label equipment in the field. LOTO placards are developed and reviewed daily, keeping the information at hand relevant and fresh. Placement of the lockout placards on your equipment can often be done the next day.
Energy isolation devices such as electrical disconnect or ball valves often lack identification. Martin Technical uses in-field labeling processes to mark equipment for accurate identification of energy isolation points.
We offer a variety of labeling tags and labels to meet the most difficult environments or to match your existing system
