Learning Objectives Objectives: ► Provide information required for authorized employees under the OSHA lockout/tagout standard (Control of Hazardous Energy, Code of Federal Regulations as Title 29 Part ) ► Recognize and understand procedures necessary to control hazardous energy during equipment servicing and maintenance

Agenda: ► Overview ► Affected and authorized employees ► Energy control program ► Your responsibilities Course Agenda

Overview Section 1

Lockout/tagout standard: ► Servicing equipment where unexpected start could cause injury: ► Covers 39 million workers ► Standard intended to: –Save lives –Prevent 30,000 lost-workday injuries The Control of Hazardous Energy

Potential energy sources: ► Electrical ► Mechanical ► Hydraulic ► Gas ► Pneumatic ► Water ► Chemical ► Thermal Covers All Hazardous Energy Sources

Establish an energy control program: ► Goal is to protect employees ► Consists of: –Documented program –Employee training program –Periodic review of procedures Employer Responsibilities

Employee training ensures: ► The energy control program is understood ► Employees performing lockouts safely use and remove devices ► Other employees recognize energy control program Employee Training

Retrain authorized and affected employees when: ► There is a change in job assignment ► Equipment or process changes present new hazards ► Change in lockout/tagout procedure ► Problems detected during periodic program inspection Employee Training

Affected and Authorized Employees Section 2

Job requires employee to: ► Use equipment during lockout/tagout conditions ► Work where maintenance is being performed ► Affected employees must know the purpose of lockout/tagout system Affected Employees

Authorized employee must: ► Lock or tag out equipment to perform maintenance ► Understand purpose of the program ► Recognize hazardous energy sources ► Know types and magnitude of energy sources ► Understand means of controlling energy sources ► Verify that isolation is effective Authorized Employees

Employees working in lockout/tagout areas must: ► Be trained on the energy control program ► Not use lockout/tagout equipment Other Employees

Energy Control Program Section 3

Energy control procedures: ► Must be written and available ► Must define how energy is controlled ► Developed for each type of lockout ► Are grouped by equipment type Energy Control Procedures

Procedure must include the following elements: ► Statement on how to use the procedure ► Steps to shut down, and secure equipment ► Safe placement or removal of lockout/tagout devices ► List who has responsibility ► Requirements verifying effectiveness of energy control measures Energy Control Procedures

Energy-isolating device: ► Place on equipment where energy is controlled ► Provides protection under lockout/tagout standard ► Mechanism that prevents the use of energy ► Locks or tags are attached to this device Energy-Isolating Device

Is capable of being locked out if it: ► Is designed for use with a lock ► Has a locking mechanism built into it ► Can be locked without dismantling, rebuilding, or replacing the energy- isolating device Energy-Isolating Device

Must be lockable under the following conditions: ► Major replacement, repair, renovation, or modification of equipment ► Whenever new machines or equipment is installed ► All newly purchased equipment must be lockable Devices That Cannot Be Locked Out

The lockout or tagout device: ► Holds energy-isolating devices in the safe position ► Identifies energy-isolating devices as a source of danger ► Protects employees from hazardous energy Lockout or Tagout Device

Only devices used for controlling hazardous energy: ► Durable ► Standardized ► Substantial ► Identifiable Lockout /Tagout Device Requirements

Additional safety measures: ► Use locks unless tags provide equal protection ► Remove and isolate circuit element ► Block a controlling switch ► Open an extra disconnecting device ► Remove a valve handle Lockout/Tagout Device Requirements

Things to keep in mind about tags: ► Do not provide physical restraint of lock ► Securely attach to the energy-isolating device ► Only removed by the person who applied it ► Never to bypassed, ignored, or defeated ► Legible and understandable ► Made of sturdy materials Using Tags

Situations needing additional safety: ► Temporary lock or tag removal and re-energizing ► Outside personnel (or contractors) at the worksite ► Group servicing of equipment or machinery ► Shift or personnel changes Additional Procedures

Your Responsibilities Section 4

Your employer expects you to: ► Recognize activities performed for controlling hazardous energy ► Isolate hazardous energy to service equipment ► Read, review, and understand procedures Your Responsibilities

Also your employer wants you to: ► Understand differences in affected or authorized employees ► Know where the energy-isolating devices are ► Use lockout/tagout devices consistently and appropriately ► Never remove or override lockout/tagout devices Your Responsibilities
