The LOTO Authority functions as an Energy Marshal that administers assigned activities within the project Energy Isolation Management and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) program for construction activities under Bechtel jurisdictional control. The role serves as a control point for hazardous-energy isolation, energization planning, authorization, system-status identification, switching coordination, work release, and return to service. The LOTO Authority coordinates with Work Group Supervisors, Authorized Operators, Permit Requestors, Subcontractors, other Contractors, Commissioning and Startup, ES&H, Engineering, Construction, and Customer representatives to maintain documented and traceable control of temporary and permanent hazardous-energy sources through the construction phases and eventual LOTO program turn-over to commissioning and startup.

The Energy Marshal governs the process and independently verifies compliance; and has authority from project leadership to stop electrical work, deny energization, require correction, quarantine equipment and suspend an electrical permit or switching plan when conditions do not meet the approved requirements. Schedule or production pressure shall not override this authority.

• Implement Energy Isolation Management and LOTO programs per Bechtel procedures, project safety plans, permits, NFPA 70E, and regulations.
• Define isolation boundaries using field walkdowns, drawings, P&IDs, panel schedules, cable data, system status, stored energy, normal/alternate feeds, backfeeds, temporary sources, generators, UPS, batteries, interlocks, and contractor interfaces.
• Review, issue, modify, suspend, revoke, and close Energy Isolation Permits. Verify scope, isolation points, protective measures, sequencing, independent verification, zero-energy checks, sign-on/off, work release, and return-to-service requirements.
• Coordinate energization, re-energization, switching, isolation, Sanction to Test, restoration, custody transfers, pre-job briefings, notifications, handovers, and interfaces.
• Apply electrical safe-work requirements, including live-dead-live verification, energized-work controls, shock/arc-flash protection, and temporary/permanent power controls. Treat unidentified conditions as energized until proven otherwise and eliminate energized work when feasible.
• Control safety tags, LOTO devices, keys/lock boxes, permit and switching logs, EIP files, boundary registers, authorized-personnel records, equipment status, drawings, and other required records.
• Lead readiness reviews to verify construction, inspection, testing,…
