1 29 CFR THE CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS ENERGY

2 TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Apply Energy Control Procedures CONDITION: Given classroom instruction. STANDARD: In accordance with (IAW) 29 CFR The Control of Hazardous Energy.

3 Administrative Data  Risk assessment Level / Low  NOTE: It is the responsibility of all soldiers and DA civilians to protect the environment from damage.  You will be evaluated on the information provided in this block of instructions during written examination 031TEX02.

4 29 CFR The Control of Hazardous Energy  Applies to the control of energy during servicing and/or maintenance of machines and equipment.

5 Conditions Requiring Lockout/Tagout Procedures  Unexpected energizing or start-up of machinery or equipment.  Potential release of hazardous energy.  Confined spaces or adjacent areas.

6 Lockout/Tagout  Modifications of machinery after January 2, 1990.

7 Terminology  Authorized Employee - A person who implements lockout/tagout procedures.  Affected Employee - An employee who operates or uses equipment and machinery.

8 Terminology  Energy isolating device - A device which prevents the transmission or release of energy.  Energy source - Any source of electrical mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal or other energy source.

9 Terminology  Lockout The placement of a lockout device on an energy isolating device.  Lockout device A device used to hold an energy isolating device in a safe position.

10 Terminology  Tagout The placement of a tagout device on an energy isolating device.  Tagout device A prominent warning device, such as a tag.

11 Lockout/Tagout  If energy isolating devices are unable to be locked out, a tagout device must be utilized.  If energy isolating devices are capable of being locked out, a lockout device must be used.

23 Application of Control

24 Preparation for Shutdown  Identify the type and magnitude of energy.  Identify the hazards of the energy to be controlled.  Identify the methods or means to control the energy.

25 Stored Energy  Relieved  Disconnected  Restrained  Rendered harmless.

26 Machine or Equipment Shutdown  Utilize applicable operator manuals.  Follow standard operating procedure (SOP).

27 Machine or Equipment Isolation  Physically locate energy isolating devices.  Position energy isolating devices to the “off” or “closed’ position.

28 Applying Lockout/Tagout Devices  Applied by the authorized employee.  Lockout devices affixed to hold energy isolating device in the “safe” or “off” position.  Tagout devices shall clearly indicate the prohibited use of the energy isolating device(s).

29 Verification of Isolation  Prior to operation of machinery or equipment.  Verify that the equipment will not start and/or operate.
