In a state-plan state? Your state's written program, by name

California, Washington, Michigan and Minnesota cite employers for not having the state's own written program, and it is often the first thing their inspectors ask for. 29Safety builds to your state's rule, set from the address on your account.

California: Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP)

Required of every California employer (Title 8 §3203) and Cal/OSHA's most-cited standard. 29Safety builds your IIPP with its required elements, plus the heat illness prevention plan (§3395). On construction jobs, §1509 adds a Code of Safe Practices and a toolbox meeting at least every 10 working days; the weekly talks with crew sign-in cover the meetings.

Title 8 §3203, §3395, §1509

Washington: Accident Prevention Program (APP)

Required of every Washington employer (WAC 296-800-140; construction WAC 296-155-110). 29Safety builds your APP, and on construction sites the weekly crew safety meetings with sign-in that L&I looks for.

WAC 296-800-140, 296-155-110

Minnesota: AWAIR program

Minnesota requires a written A Workplace Accident and Injury Reduction (AWAIR) program in listed industries (Minn. Stat. 182.653, subd. 8). The list (Minn. R. 5208.1500) takes in every heavy civil and specialty trade contractor, many kinds of manufacturing, and warehousing; building construction (NAICS 236) is not on it. Start from 29Safety's Safety & Health Program; Harli drafts the AWAIR version as a custom program on any plan, for you to review.

Lockout/tagout is the third most-cited standard on OSHA's list for fiscal year 2026.

OSHA Top 10, fiscal year 2026, preliminary (Oct. 1, 2025 to Aug. 31, 2026)
1 year

The longest a lockout procedure can go between inspections, done by an authorized employee who isn't using that procedure.

29 CFR 1910.147(c)(6)(i)
$16,550

The maximum OSHA penalty for one serious violation. HazCom, forklifts and machine guarding are on the same top 10 list.

Maximum penalty in 2026 (osha.gov/penalties)

From sign-up to a posted lockout procedure before the shift ends

  1. Tell us about your work

    Your state, your crew size, and what you run: presses, conveyors, forklifts, chemicals. About 12 plain questions. No safety jargon.

    About 5 minutes

  2. Get your programs

    29Safety builds your written programs (lockout, HazCom, forklifts, emergency action) cited to 29 CFR 1910, plus a month of safety talks. Edit anything.

    About 2 minutes

  3. Finish it on the floor

    Pick a machine template, walk the machine, and add your photos and disconnect numbers. Print the placard and post it; its QR code always opens the current version.

    Every day after

A lockout procedure for every machine, finished on your floor

Lockout/tagout is on every plan. See a full sample, point by point

Start from a template for the machine: conveyor, press, compressor, packaging line, injection molder, CNC, saw, mixer, dock leveler, boiler, rooftop unit, electrical panel, battery charger, generator, UPS, robot cell, and more. Then walk it. Add your disconnect numbers, your valve locations, your people, and a photo of every isolation point. Nothing can be approved until every point is checked at the machine.

  • A code and a photo for every isolation point (E-1, P-1 and so on), so a new hire finds the right disconnect
  • Authorized and affected employees named on each procedure, with their training dates
  • Try it, test it, recheck it, with live-dead-live on every electrical check
  • A placard in English and Spanish with a QR code that always opens the current version
  • Annual inspections and training certifications, the records OSHA cites most, tracked and due-dated
  • Change it and it's a new revision: tried on the machine again, re-approved, and the people who use it flagged for retraining

What it looks like on a plant floor

Three short examples, playing one after another. Pause them any time.

    Everything else a safety department does, without hiring one

    Built for 1910. Every tool started as a working system on real shop floors and in real warehouses, rebuilt so any plant or shop can set it up in an afternoon.

    Written safety programs

    Lockout, HazCom, forklifts, respiratory protection, hearing conservation, emergency action and fire prevention, PPE hazard assessment. Cal/OSHA IIPP included.

    1910.147, 1910.1200, 1910.134, 1910.95, 1910.38, 1910.39, 1910.132(d)

    Forklifts and equipment

    Daily pre-use checks on any phone; a failed check takes the truck out of service. Operator evaluations every 3 years, tracked.

    1910.178(l), (q)(7)

    Training tracker

    Lockout authorized and affected, forklift, HazCom, first aid and CPR, respirator fit tests. Alerts at 60, 30, and 7 days.

    1910.147(c)(7), 1910.178(l)

    Incidents and OSHA 300

    Log injuries and near misses in minutes. Your 300, 300A, and 301 data build themselves, with TRIR and DART.

    Part 1904 recordkeeping

    HazCom and SDS

    Every chemical with its SDS one tap away, secondary-container labels that print, and the written HazCom program that ties it together.

    1910.1200

    Permits

    Confined space, hot work, energized electrical, and lockout, each with its checklist and gas-reading log. Nothing goes active until the required items are checked.

    1910.146, 1910.252, 1910.333

    Inspections and machine releases

    Fire extinguisher, first-aid kit, AED, housekeeping and forklift checklists on any phone, and a machine safety release (guards, interlocks, e-stops, lockout) before a new or rebuilt machine runs. A failed item becomes a corrective action with an owner and a due date.

    1910.157(e)(2), 1910.212, 1910.147

    JHAs and safety talks

    Hazard analyses for non-routine jobs, and a safety talk every week in English and Spanish. Your crew signs on a phone or by QR code.

    Bilingual

    Big buttons for gloved hands and text you can read under shop lights. Everything saves offline and syncs when the Wi-Fi comes back, and there's no app store download: it opens from a link you text, email or show as a QR code.

    One price for the whole company

    No per-person fees and no setup charge. Every plan includes every feature; plans differ by how many workers they cover, how much Harli can do each month, and storage.

    Harli

    Synthetic intelligence, on every plan

    Harli is synthetic intelligence (SI), built into 29Safety. She's on every page of the app and every phone, day and night. Type it, say it, or snap a picture, in English or Spanish. Tell her something about your company once and she keeps it, for your company only.

    • Rules for your stateDo I need shade at 80 degrees in California?

      Federal OSHA and every state plan. She pulls the official text live for federal rules, California and Washington, and searches official state sites for the others. She always names the rule and the agency that enforces it.

    • Anything in your recordsWho has a forklift card, and is anyone expiring?

      Workers, cards, JHAs, permits, inspections, incidents, equipment, SDS: she finds it and links you straight to it.

    • Paperwork, written for youWrite a safety talk on lockout for Monday.

      JHAs, pre-task plans, safety talks, SOPs, and custom programs, saved in your account as drafts you review and sign.

    • Photos from the floorWhat's wrong with this machine guard?

      She spots hazards and reads data plates and chemical labels. The photo isn't saved. If you ask her to log it, she saves a written note.

    • Recordkeeping, step by stepA guy got 3 stitches. Is that recordable?

      She asks the one question that decides it, gives you the answer under Part 1904, and opens the incident report when you're ready.

    • Knows when to call a personCan I talk to a person?

      Ask for a person any time, and when she can't answer from her sources she hands the question over herself: the 29Safety safety team picks it up, free.

    Questions

    Anything else: safetyteam@29safety.com, or book a free 15-minute call.

    Do I really need a written lockout procedure for every machine?
    Usually, yes. OSHA requires a documented, machine-specific procedure unless every one of the eight conditions in the 1910.147(c)(4)(i) exception is true: a single energy source, no stored energy, one lock does it, and so on. Most machines with air, hydraulics, or more than one disconnect don't qualify. Similar machines can share one procedure if the steps really are the same.
    Does 29Safety write the lockout procedures for me?
    No, and nobody should without walking the machine. You start from a template for your kind of machine, with the usual energy sources, the steps in OSHA's order and the live-dead-live checks already written. You add what only you know at the machine: disconnect numbers, valve locations, photos and people. An authorized employee tries it before it's approved. Want help? Book the safety team for a remote session or an on-site day.
    What is Harli? Is she a real person?
    No, she's software, not a person. She answers from the official OSHA text, the state plans and your own records, not from memory, and every rule she cites is checked against those sources before you see it. She never decides whether you meet a rule; that's up to you and your competent person.
    Can Harli see my company's data?
    Only what the person asking is allowed to see. A worker asking Harli gets what they'd see in the app and nothing more. Your data isn't used to train the models behind Harli, and photos you send her aren't saved in your account or anywhere else in 29Safety.
    What if Harli gets something wrong?
    She can misread a photo or miss a detail you didn't mention. That's why the programs and JHAs she writes are saved as drafts for you to review, and why she cites the rule so you can check it. Treat her like a sharp assistant, not a competent person.
    Does 29Safety guarantee we meet OSHA's rules?
    No, and be careful of any software that says it does. 29Safety gives you programs and records built from OSHA's requirements, with the rule cited on every item so you can check it. Your competent person still has to review them and actually run the program on your floor.
    Which states do you cover?
    All of them. Federal OSHA covers private employers in most states. 22 State Plans (21 states and Puerto Rico) cover private employers with their own rules, and 7 more cover only state and local government workers. Your home state is set from your billing address when you sign up, and you can change it in Settings. If your state runs its own plan, Harli answers with that plan's rules where they differ from federal OSHA. Work across a state line? Add a second state pack for $19 a month.
    Will it work for my industry?
    Two rulebooks are built in. Construction (29 CFR 1926): earthwork, concrete, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, paving, demo, general contracting. General industry (29 CFR 1910): manufacturing, warehousing, fabrication shops, power generation, data centers, battery and equipment service. Pick one or both in Settings. If you do something unusual, Harli drafts a custom program on any plan, and the 29Safety safety team can write one for you ($349).
    Is it really in Spanish?
    Talks, JHAs, inspections and every sign-in screen come in Spanish, and each worker picks their own language. Written programs turn into their own Spanish version with one button. This page too: pick Español in the menu.
    Does it help with ISNetworld or Avetta?
    29Safety builds a prequal packet with documents those platforms usually ask for: written programs, training records, and OSHA 300A summaries. Each questionnaire is different, and no software can promise a passing grade. If you want help filling yours out, book a working session with the 29Safety safety team, or have the team write the programs your GC asks for: the Bid and prequal packet is $795.
    Who owns my data?
    You do. Your records download as PDF or spreadsheet files from each section.
    How is my data kept safe?
    Each company's records are walled off from every other company's in the database itself. Any login can turn on two-step sign-in (a code from an authenticator app) under Settings, Password and two-step. Once it's on, the database won't hand over that person's records without the code, and 29Safety's own admin access requires it. The safety team sees what you send it, like a question Harli hands over. To look at anything else in your account it needs support access, which only an owner or admin can turn on (under Help from the team), and it shuts off after 24 hours or when you turn it off. Card numbers go to Stripe and never touch our servers. Your data is stored in the U.S., encrypted in transit and at rest, and the database is backed up every day.
    What if I stop paying?
    Your account locks when a payment fails or your paid time runs out, and it opens again the moment you pay. While it's locked, nothing is deleted, and the owner and admins can still email themselves a copy of their records. We send a reminder when it locks and another a week before day 90. At 90 days, the owner and admins get a full copy of their records by email before the account is deleted. OSHA requires employers to keep some records for years, so we never hold them hostage.
    Can you actually come to our plant?
    Yes, anywhere in the U.S. The on-site days and their prices are in the list above. OSHA's free On-Site Consultation Program is worth a call too.
