Energy-source survey
Identify electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, gravitational, chemical, and stored energy that may affect the task.
Immersive safety training
LOTO VRT
Immersive lockout/tagout practice that helps workers rehearse hazardous energy control procedures, recognize energy sources, and make sound decisions before servicing begins.

The training role
Practice energy-control decisions before servicing begins.
Lockout/tagout depends on more than remembering where to place a lock. Workers need to identify every relevant source of hazardous energy, follow the approved sequence, verify isolation, and respond correctly when conditions differ from the expected procedure.
LOTO VRT provides a controlled place to practice those decisions around representative equipment. The module can use a standard instructional scenario or be configured around a machine, energy-control procedure, and lockout hardware used by your organization.
- Prepare authorized employees before supervised equipment-specific practice
- Reinforce the difference between shutdown and verified isolation
- Practice recognition of stored and residual energy
- Use repeat attempts for coaching, refresher training, and assessment
Practice areas
Cover the full energy-control sequence.
Training can focus on individual steps or place the learner in a complete service scenario with decisions, distractions, and verification requirements.
Notification and shutdown
Prepare for the lockout, notify affected employees, and use the normal stopping procedure before isolation.
Isolation and lock application
Locate the correct isolating devices and apply locks and tags according to the selected procedure.
Stored-energy control
Block, bleed, restrain, discharge, or otherwise control energy that remains after the primary sources are isolated.
Verification
Test the isolation using the required controls or instruments before work begins, then return controls to a safe position.
Return to service
Inspect the area, account for people and tools, remove devices under the approved process, and communicate restoration.
Scenario design
Configure scenarios around the situations workers encounter.
The training can introduce variations that require the learner to slow down, confirm the procedure, and involve the right people.
Routine servicing
Complete a standard machine-specific energy-control procedure from preparation through restoration.
Unexpected energy
Recognize an energy source or equipment state that was not addressed by the learner's first plan.
Group lockout
Practice role, communication, and personal-control decisions within a coordinated group procedure.
Shift or personnel change
Follow the organization's process for maintaining continuous protection during a transition.
Program configuration
Match the module to your written program and equipment.
LOTO terminology, devices, equipment, and assessment criteria can be aligned with the way your organization controls hazardous energy.
- Representative or organization-specific machines and work areas
- Company lock, tag, hasp, and group-lockbox practices
- Instructor-guided, self-paced, and assessment configurations
- Optional completion records and LMS/LRS integration
- Turnkey headset packages or supported customer-owned hardware
LOTO VRT is a supplemental training and assessment tool. It does not replace an employer's written energy-control program, machine-specific procedures, required employee training, or supervised verification of competency.
