10. Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Preparation and Notification
Notify other workers of shutdown
Shutting Down the Equipment
Follow documented procedures
Turn switches to off/disable energy sources
Isolating the Machine From the Energy Source

11. Lockout/Tagout Procedures
4 Applying Lockout/Tagout Devices
Lock valves, breakers, and/or disconnects.
Releasing Potential and Residual Energy
Discharge capacitors, block or release springs, block elevated parts, relieve system pressure, bleed air.
Verifying Isolation Before Work Starts
Make sure other workers are clear, check energy isolating devices, attempt normal startup.

12. Restoring Energy to Equipment
Ensure that equipment components are operationally intact.
Verify that employees are safely away from the equipment.
Inform other employees of startup.
Ensure that lockout/tagout devices are removed by the employee who applied the device.

17. Requirements for Lockout/Tagout Devices
Durable
Must withstand the environment to which they are exposed.
Constructed and printed so that they do not deteriorate or become illegible.
Standardized
Same color, shape, or size.
Tagout devices must have standardized print and format.

18. Requirements for Lockout/Tagout Devices
Substantial
Minimize early or accidental removal.
Excessive force required to remove locks.
Tags must be attached by non-reusable, self-locking, and non-releasable tie.
Identifiable
ID the employee who applied lock/tag.
Tags must warn of hazards of equipment energization.

19. Requirements for Lockout/Tagout Devices
Tags must include
warnings such as:
DO NOT START
DO NOT OPEN
DO NOT OPERATE
DO NOT ENERGIZE

20. Tagout Devices
Tagout devices should only be used when an energy isolating device is not capable of being locked out.
Tags can also be used to further explain the conditions of the lockout.
After January 2, 1990 renovated and new equipment must be capable of being locked out.

21. Limitations of Tags
Tags are warning devices affixed to energy isolating devices and do not offer physical restraint.
Tags must be able to withstand the environment to which they are exposed.
Tags must be legible and understood by all employees in the area.
Tags may evoke a false sense of security.

22. Employee Training Definitions
Authorized Employee - An employee who performs servicing and/or maintenance on machines & equipment and use lockout/tagout procedures.
Affected Employees - An employee who performs their job duties in an area where lockout/tagout procedures are used. These employees do not use LOTO procedures.
Other Employees - An employee who may perform job duties in an area where lockout/tagout procedures may be utilized.

23. Authorized employees must receive training on the following topics:
Employee Training
Authorized employees must receive training on the following topics:
The type and magnitude of the hazardous energy sources in the workplace.
Methods to isolate and control these energy sources.
Employer must provide initial training and retraining as necessary.

24. Affected employees and all other employees must be able to:
Employee Training
Affected employees and all other employees must be able to:
Recognize when an energy control procedures is being implemented.
Understand the purpose of the procedure.
Importance of not attempting to start up or use the equipment that has been locked or tagged out.

25. Periodic Inspections
Inspections must be conducted at least annually to assure that controls are in place and are being used correctly.
Inspection consists of observing the authorized employee performing lockout or tagout procedure.
Employer must document the employee performing the procedure, equipment involved, and date of the inspection.

26. Periodic inspection must include:
Periodic Inspections
Periodic inspection must include:
Review of the authorized employee’s responsibilities under the energy control program.
When tagout procedures are being inspection, the review must also include a review on the limitation of tags.

27. Additional Requirements
Testing or positioning of machines, equipment, or components
Outside contractors
Group lockout or tagout
Shift or personnel changes

28. Testing/Positioning of Equipment
When lockout/tagout devices must be removed to test/position equipment, the following actions must be taken:
Clear the machine of tools/materials.
Ensure that employees are clear of the area.
Remove energy isolating device (per procedures).
Energize and proceed with testing/positioning.
Deenergize all systems and reapply energy control devices to continue servicing (per procedures).

29. Outside Contractors
Outside service personnel engaged in activities covered by this standard must comply with lockout/tagout requirements.
Outside employer and on-site employer must inform each other of their respective programs.
On-site employees must comply with restrictions of outside employer’s program.

30. Group Lockout/Tagout
When more than one crew/department is involved, group lockout/tagout procedures must be used.
Each authorized employee should apply a lock to the group lockout device. Each person removes their lock when work is complete.

31. Shift or Personnel Changes
Procedures must ensure continuity of lockout/tagout protection during shift or personnel changes.
Oncoming shift must verify that equipment is deenergized.
Employees must apply their own lock to the energy isolating device when they begin working on the equipment.

32. Summary
Lock/tag out equipment/machine energy sources before servicing or maintenance.
Follow written energy control procedures.
Never ignore, bypass, or remove another employee’s lock or tag.
