Key Functions
With LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
Graphical Procedure Writing Software, you can perform the following key
functions, all of which are explained in detail in this User Guide:
Use simple, powerful templates to create OSHA-compliant lockout/tagout procedures
Includes 3 types of procedure layouts to accommodate the varying needs of different procedures. For
any given procedure, you determine whether a Long Form, Short Form, or Combined Form template is
best. (See Chapter 5: Choosing the Correct Form on page 5-2 for details.)
Create procedures in minutes using built-in defaults. Includes an extensive database of standard
lockout procedural terminology that lets you click your choices from lists and have them formatted and
placed in the right places on the procedure. This ensures the accuracy of your procedures and makes
them fast and easy to create. (See Chapter 4: Creating/Revising Procedures for details.)
Customize templates and defaults to meet the needs of your organization and groups of users. Edit
any or all of the templates’ text and graphics to your standards. You can change the terminology on the
templates that determine the information that always displays on a procedure. You can also add your
own text, which lets you insert your custom text into procedures with point-and-click efficiency. You
can also customize templates differently for any group of users. (See Chapter 7, “Setting Defaults in
Lockout PRO” and Chapter 8, “Working with Templates” for details.)
Insert and edit images that clearly illustrate steps of the lockout procedure. Lets you easily add
images to procedures. With its built-in image editing features, you can crop, rotate, adjust brightness
and contrast, and even add and precisely place multiple labels onto images to make them easy for
employees to understand. (See Chapter 5: Choosing the Correct Form on page 5-2 for details.)
Print procedures, lockout tags, and energy labels on your choice of printer. Automatically pulls the
relevant information from a particular procedure to print onto the lockout tags and associated energy
labels. You can use any standard sheet-fed inkjet or laser printer, or you can simplify the printing
process even more by using the special templates for printing with Brady Corporation’s
GLOBALMARK
®
Industrial Label Maker or HANDIMARK
®
printers. (See Chapter 4: Printing
Procedures, Tags & Labels on page 4-3 for details.)
Convert procedures to another language. Automatically converts the “Brady default text” in
procedures from one language to another.
Revise procedures on schedule. Use the feature for automatic time- and date-stamping of
procedures to stay on top of revisions schedules.
Use the built-in sample energy control policy to develop or revise your own. Among the many
support features of the application is a sample of a corporate energy control policy that satisfies OSHA
regulations. (See Chapter 3: Corporate Policy on page 3-2 for details.)
Quickly access OSHA standards for procedures. A couple of clicks will take you directly to OSHA’s
website to view the most up-to-date regulations. (See Chapter 3: Regulations on page 3-2 for details.)
