LOTO / Energy Isolation Management System for Field Crews
Kissflow issues an energy isolation permit that lists every lock point a piece of equipment requires, verifies each one is applied before work starts, and blocks de-isolation until every crew member's personal lock is removed and the equipment is confirmed safe to re-energize.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
A pump with nine isolation points and eight locks applied is still live.
Multiple energy sources often need isolating on a single piece of equipment before maintenance can start, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, each one needing its own lock and tag, plus every worker on the job applying a personal lock before they will put their hands on the equipment. A verbal confirmation that isolation is complete is not the same as a checklist confirming every required point is actually locked, and a missing ninth lock on a nine-point isolation is exactly the kind of gap that only shows up when something moves that should never have been able to.
Kissflow issues the isolation permit with every required lock point listed against that equipment's defined isolation plan, requires verification against that list before work is authorized to start, tracks every individual worker's personal lock for the duration of the job, and blocks de-isolation until every one of those locks is confirmed removed.
A supervisor overseeing a multi-crew job sees exactly which lock points are verified and which workers still have personal locks applied, instead of relying on a headcount and a verbal all-clear before authorizing re-energization.
Where an energy isolation gap goes unnoticed
Lock points are not listed against a plan
A verbal confirmation stands in for checking every required isolation point.
Personal locks are untracked
Nobody has a live count of whose lock is still on the equipment.
De-isolation happens before everyone is clear
Equipment gets re-energized without confirming every crew member's lock is off.
No isolation plan library
Every job builds its isolation point list from scratch instead of reusing a verified plan.
Six modules. Every isolation point verified locked before work starts, and verified clear before re-energizing.
Configure isolation plans and lock-point requirements by equipment.
Isolation permit request
A permit is requested directly against the specific equipment's predefined multi-point isolation plan on file.
Hazard and energy source assessment
Every energy source requiring isolation, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic, is identified for that job.
Multi-point lock application
Each required lock point is applied and individually checked off against the plan before any work is allowed to proceed.
Personal lock tracking
Every individual worker's personal lock is tracked separately for the full duration of the job, by name.
Approval
A supervisor confirms every required lock point is verified before formally authorizing work to begin at all.
De-isolation and closure
Re-energizing is blocked entirely until every personal lock on the job is confirmed removed, worker by worker.
From request to system of record in four steps
Submit
A permit is requested against the equipment's predefined multi-point isolation plan.
Review
Every required lock point is applied and individually checked off against that plan.
Approve
A supervisor confirms full isolation is verified before formally authorizing work to start.
Record
De-isolation is blocked until every crew member's personal lock is confirmed removed and the equipment is confirmed safe to re-energize, closing the permit on record.
What changes when energy isolation runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Lock point list | Verbal confirmation | Checked against a defined isolation plan |
| Personal lock tracking | No live count | Every worker's lock tracked individually |
| Work authorization | Assumed once isolation is claimed complete | Requires supervisor verification against the plan |
| De-isolation | Can happen before everyone is clear | Blocked until every personal lock is confirmed off |
| Isolation plans | Built from scratch each job | Reused from a verified plan library |
| Audit trail | Undocumented | A full permit, verification, and closure record |
Connects to your HSE and permit-to-work systems; Kissflow does not operate the physical isolation devices
Kissflow runs the permit, verification, and closure layer. Physical lockout devices and equipment control remain in the field, not inside Kissflow.

Built for how a multi-point isolation actually needs to be verified
Every point checked against a plan
A ninth lock on a nine-point isolation does not go unnoticed.
Personal locks tracked individually
A live count of whose lock is still on the equipment, always current.
De-isolation blocked until everyone is clear
Re-energizing cannot happen while a personal lock is still on.
Live in weeks
Configure isolation plans in the visual builder, or describe the use case to the AI Builder.
Governed from day one
Role-based access and a full audit trail on every permit.
One view across the crew
Everyone on the job sees the same isolation status in real time.

Get SupportNo. Physical lockout devices and equipment control remain entirely in the field. Kissflow runs the permit, verification, and closure workflow around them.
This app is scoped to energy isolation specifically. Hot Work and Confined Space are often issued alongside an isolation permit for the same job, but each authorizes a different hazard.
Yes, each worker's lock is tracked separately for the duration of the job.
No, the workflow blocks de-isolation until every personal lock is confirmed removed.
Yes, isolation plans are built once per equipment and reused for every future permit.
Yes, a verification and authorization step is built into the permit before work can start.
Configuration and AI-assisted app generation move delivery from a multi-month program to a matter of weeks.
Kissflow is certified to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, and ISO/IEC 27001, with role-based access on every record.
