The LOTO Training Flow Simulator Design poster discusses the intended purpose of the simulator along with the steps taken in the design process. It highlights the two main systems designed in the primary flow loop and the bubbler system, along with a brief description of the flow calculations made to ensure the functionality of the system.
Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) instructions protect personnel from un-expected re-energization or start-up of equipment that is under maintenance. Even though there is rigorous training associated with LOTO activities, inci-dents still occur. Idaho National Laboratory is researching and developing dynamic LOTO instructions, which supports automatic place keeping, per-sonnel working on multiple instructions, and multiple work groups complet-ing the same instructions. Researchers identified user needs through subject matter expert interviews, observations, and classroom training. Failing to identify potential hazards during LOTO can cause injury or death to person-nel. Dynamic instructions can provide planning, incorporate supplemental documentation into the instruction, and improve instruction compliance. Combining these functions may lead to clearer, more applicable instructions which addresses the reason for compliance issues with current paper-based procedures.

Even though there is rigorous training associated with LOTO activities, incidents still occur. Idaho National Laboratory is researching and developing dynamic LOTO instructions, which supports automatic place keeping, personnel working on mul-tiple instructions, and multiple work groups completing the same instructions. Researchers identified user needs through subject matter expert interviews, ob-servations, and classroom training. Failing to identify potential hazards during LOTO can cause injury or death to personnel. Dynamic instructions help to guide the user seamlessly through the instructions. Combining planning and record keeping may lead to clearer, more applicable instructions which addresses the reason for compliance issues with current paper-based procedures.
