3. Lockout/ Tagout Lock and tag is a two part process.
The lock disables and the tag is a warning.
The Parts of a lockout/Tagout are:
<ENTER>
The Lock
And the tags

4. RESPONSIBILITIES
MANAGEMENT
SUPERVISORY

5. Management Responsibilities
Develop company policy to control energy source during maintenance.
Produce machine-specific procedures to include applying the locks and tags, release, and notification from lockout.
Train authorized and affected employees to use proper procedures.

6. Supervisors Responsibilities
Ensure initial LOTO training.
Monitor refresher training.
Check for shortcuts, mistakes, or unsafe work practices.
Ensure retraining if jobs change, new machines, control
procedures or modifications occurs.
Enforcement of machine-specific procedures.

7. LOTO
ENERGY SOURCES

8. Types of Energy Electrical
Electrical wiring
Batteries

9. Electrical Energy Hazards
Shock
Burns
Fire
Caution - Welding

10. Types of Energy Mechanical
Parts that store energy sources.
Cylinders
Accumulators

11. Mechanical Energy Hazards Pinch-points
Prevent Movement

12. Mechanical Energy Hazards
Use wood blocks,
chains, or
cylinder blocks

13. Mechanical Energy Hazards

14. Mechanical Energy Hazards - Gravity
Do not work under elevated blades, grapples or pressurized systems

15. Mechanical Energy Hazards – Moving Parts
Mechanical parts that are still in motion.
Saw-heads
Fan blades
Shafts
Belt/pulleys
Chain/sprockets

16. Types of Energy Chemical
Lubricants -Oil, hydraulic fluid
Fuels – gas, diesel, kerosene
Coolants -antifreeze
Refrigerants
Battery acid
Cleaners + Solvents

17. Chemical Energy Hazards
Produce energy that can start fires, cause skin burns, freeze skin and generate harmful gases or fumes.

18. Types of Energy Thermal- “heat”
Radiators
Brakes
Turbo Charger
Welding
Compressor
Compressed gas

19. Thermal Energy Hazards
Heat/Cold Energy
Hot equipment & fluids will burn you
Cold fluids can cause severe injury
Quick release of compressed gases can freeze your skin (Propane or refrigerants)
Allow equipment to reach a safe temperature before starting work.

20. Types of Energy Pneumatic – “air”
Compressed Air
Welding Gases
Tires

21. Pneumatic Energy Hazards
Compressed gases
Uncontrolled release can cause injury
Properly vent systems before starting work”

22. Types of Energy Hydraulic

23. Hydraulic Energy Hazards –Injuries
Liquids under high pressure
Pressure can cause equipment to move
Rapid release can cause injury or ejection of system parts

24. LOTO
PROCEDURES

25. Equipment Specific Procedures
Employers:
- develop,
- document,
- and implement
equipment specific procedures to control hazardous energy during maintenance operations.
<ENTER> <ENTER> <ENTER> <ENTER>
Those who may be in the area and need to give the job a wide berth.

26. Lockout/Tagout Program
Purpose - prevent accidental release of energy sources while equipment is being serviced. .

32. Lockout/Tagout Know equipment hazards: Electrical Thermal Mechanical
( 7 step process )
#1 Prepare for shutdown
Know equipment hazards:
Electrical
Thermal
Mechanical
Hydraulic
Chemical
Pneumatic
More then one may be present

33. #2 Shut down equipment Put the key in your pocket!
Use normal shutdown procedure.
Turn all switches to OFF.
Put the key in your pocket!
Double check your steps to ensure
shutdown procedures are complete.

34. “Coast Down Time” (most over-looked hazard)
Isolate all energy sources
Shut control valves. #3
Turn off master disconnect.
Disconnect battery
(especially when welding)
“Coast Down Time” (most over-looked hazard)
Fuel Shut-off

35. Examples requiring energy isolation:

36. #4 Install Locks and Tags
Valves and electrical disconnects.
Block or disconnect
air/hydraulic lines.

37. #5 Release or block stored energy
Discharge capacitors
Block or release springs
Stop rotating flywheels
Drain fluids
Block elevated parts
Bleed off pressure
– air & hydraulics
Allow moving part to completely stop before continuing !!

38. # 6 Verify equipment isolation
Check that locking devices are securely placed.
Try to start it!
Return Controls to
OFF/Neutral.

39. Perform Maintenance Actions

40. # 7 Release from LOTO Inspect Area and Equipment. All Guards replaced.
Account for tools and parts.
Inform others of startup.
Remove Locks & Tags.
Conduct normal startup.

41. Additional lockout/tagout requirements:
Conduct annual audits - validate your LOTO procedures
Review procedures annually or when required, especially
after an accident has occurred.
Use logger book to list all equipment requiring lockout
procedures. *

42. Accidents you may see:

43. From finger(s) to complete hand.

44. Do you enforce lockout/tagout ??
This worker wished his supervisor had.
3rd degree burns….failure to deplete hydraulic pressure -- line ruptured.

45. Safe maintenance - prevent mishaps both to people and equipment
