New Blog Post: LOTO — Verification Is Everyone’s Job

Most people think LOTO is just locks, tags, and paperwork. But inside a confined space, none of that matters if the energy isn’t actually controlled.

From the rescue side, we’ve seen what happens when something gets missed — even in well‑documented programs. We once had a fire suppression system activate inside a dryer, flooding the space. It wasn’t on the LOTO for years. Nobody caught it. Not even us. And that’s the point: even good people with good procedures can miss something.

That’s why every worker — entrants, supervisors, attendants, and rescue teams — has to walk the LOTO, understand it, and question it. Because the safest rescue is the one that never has to happen.

Most “rescue teams” show up to a job and wait for something to go wrong.

That’s not how we operate.

At Hux Safety Solutions, our entire mission is preventive rescue — eliminating the emergency before it ever has a chance to happen. That means real hazard assessment, real LOTO verification, real atmospheric monitoring, and a rescue plan that’s built before the first entrant even steps foot inside the space.

We just published a breakdown of the exact order of operations our teams use on every confined space job. If you want to see what separates a standby crew from a true preventive rescue team, this is it.

If even one worker goes home because of this approach, it’s worth it.

No food pics this time, but the menu speaks for itself.
Steamed oysters, jalapeño poppers, bacon‑wrapped stuffed pork loin with a honey glaze, cabbage steaks, and a blueberry cobbler that shut the night down. Michael Butts put on a clinic.

Big thanks as well to Caylin Burrell Fireline Fishing LLC — the guide we trust year after year. Stripers in the spring, red drum in the fall, ducks in the winter… he keeps us on the fish and in the birds every season.

Had an awesome time with the SERVPRO crew. Great hunt, great laughs, great people.
We’ll absolutely run it back next season.

Huge thank you to Michael and the team at HUX Safety Solutions for the duck hunt invite this past weekend! 🦆

Dylan, Stephen, and Gio had an amazing time with such a great group of guys. Lots of laughs, great memories, and an all-around awesome experience.

Same time, next season? 😉👀

Quick question for anyone scheduling construction crews — how are you actually doing it?

📞 Phone calls?
📲 Group texts?
🛠️ An app like TeamReach?
🗓️ Whiteboard and hope?

We’re using TeamReach right now—it gets the job done, but it’s not a perfect fit for how we operate in the field. I’m digging into what real crews and schedulers are using day-to-day. If you handle scheduling (or know someone who does), I’d love to hear what’s working—or what’s driving you nuts.

Let’s crowdsource some real-world scheduling wisdom. 👷‍♂️👷‍♀️

We were assigned as the rescue and attendant crew for a confined space welding job.
Halfway through, the scope quietly changed: → Weld inspection + Crack 1/2 spray → No permit update. No product disclosure.
Seconds after spraying, the meter hit 50% LEL—a confirmed explosive atmosphere. VOC level (calculated): 120ppm Entrant evacuated instantly.
The blog breaks down what went wrong—and why field workflows need stronger logic.
🧠 Includes a downloadable Toolbox Talk handout for crew safety briefing:

130 ppm VOCs. Zero alarms. One smart adjustment.

Sometimes the 4-gas stays silent—but your PID and ventilation strategy won’t.

On a recent tank entry, our monitor told us all was clear… until the PID picked up isopropylamine at 130 ppm. Turns out, our fan was pulling air from inside the tent, recirculating contaminated air instead of bringing in fresh.

We moved the fan intake outside, and within minutes, VOCs dropped to 30 ppm. No change in gear—just smarter airflow.

This lesson became a case study, a training handout, and a reminder:

> Good air isn’t lucky—it’s built.

🔎 Think your 4-gas meter is telling the whole story? Think again.
VOCs in confined spaces are silent hazards—and your alarm might be going off far too late.
At Hux Safety Solutions, we break down why standard meters miss the mark, how correction factors work (and lie), and what tools like PIDs can do to protect your team.

**Recognizing the Backbone of Our Rescue Teams** 🚨

This past week, our team put in nearly 1,000 hours across five job sites in North Carolina and Virginia. Many of us drove over 1,000 miles, ensuring our clients had the safest and most capable confined space rescue teams on-site.

But here’s the thing—we aren’t just a team; we’re a family built by trust, word-of-mouth, and an unwavering commitment to safety. Over the past six years, we’ve assembled 70 of the best rescue professionals out there. Not through job postings or recruitment drives, but through recommendations from our own people—firefighters, leaders, and experts who know what it takes to get the job done right.

When our customers call, needing a team right now, our guys step up. Every time. They answer the call, providing a proactive approach to reducing risk for those performing work in confined spaces.

And here’s the real proof of their excellence—because of their ability to recognize hazards and mitigate risks before they become emergencies, our team has accomplished a 100% success rate in ensuring work is performed safely. No rescues ever needed. That’s prevention at its best.

To our part-time team—our brothers in the fire service, working across departments from Wilmington to Charlotte—THANK YOU. You are the reason we can do what we do, and your commitment does not go unnoticed.

Every shift. Every call. You matter. 🔥💪
