When is the live-dead-live process used in LOTO procedures?

The live-dead-live process is specifically utilized in Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures when work is being performed on electrical components. It is crucial for ensuring the safety of personnel who may be exposed to live electrical parts. This process involves verifying the state of a circuit or component prior to and after maintenance is performed, ensuring that it is de-energized (dead) before any work begins and then confirming its operational state (live) after maintenance has been completed and it is safe to re-energize the system.

By following the live-dead-live process, technicians can confirm that they are not exposing themselves to potential hazards associated with electricity. It emphasizes the importance of proper verification steps in LOTO procedures, helping prevent accidents and injuries in settings where electrical work is necessary.
