Scenario: You're a tool and die maker assigned to change out the die in a mechanical power press. Does this task require full LOTO of the equipment, or does LOTO minor servicing exception apply?

Changing the die in a mechanical power press requires full Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures to ensure safety. The LOTO minor servicing exception does not apply in this situation due to the significant risks involved. Following full LOTO steps prevents accidental machine activation and protects workers during the die change process.
