Digitizing Lock Tag Verify (LTV) Procedures for Improved Consistency and Traceability

Safety Innovation Summary:
The Denton team enhanced their Lock Tag Verify (LTV) procedures by transitioning from paper-based checklists to a digital format using existing tablets. Previously, employees sometimes relied on memory or used outdated procedures, leading to errors. Now, each LTV is conducted step-by-step with photo documentation and supervisor oversight. Supervisors initiate the process by scanning their personal lock’s QR code, ensuring accountability, and listing all involved team members.

 

Implementation and Impact:
The shift to digital LTVs improved safety, consistency, and traceability. Adoption challenges were overcome by reinforcing leadership involvement and streamlining the process with machine-readable QR codes. Critical steps must now be completed and verified before progressing, significantly reducing the chance of errors. The new system also provides a complete record of LTV activities and highlights trends to support ongoing improvement in safety practices.
