1. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT/VERIFY
AWARENESS

2. HOW YOU PLAY A PART OSHA 1910.147 Thanks for coming!
This sessions topic will be LO/TO/Verify Awareness.
1 of the Critical Four
*We’ll do a few slides, then a short video.
*Show you some actual hardware you might see in use around the plant.
*Answer any questions we can or at least attempt to.
*Then take the short quiz that was in you chair when you came in, and discuss the answers.
So let’s get started with Lo/To/Awareness

How You Play A Part
OSHA

3. Lockout/Tagout/Verify Procedures
The purpose of lockout/tagout/verify is to prevent energy from accidentally being released while a machine or equipment is being serviced
The ultimate goal of lockout/tagout/verify is to protect the safety and health of employees
The secondary goal is to protect equipment from damage
Purpose is to prevent accidental release of energy that would hurt someone while they service or maintain a machine or piece of equipment.
Ultimate goal is to protect the workers in a facility.
Secondary is the protection of equipment.
Also complies with the law OSHA

4. Definitions of Terms
Energy Source - Any Source of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, gas, water, steam, air or gravity
Isolating Device - A mechanical device that physically prevents the transmission or release of energy
Examples include: disconnect switches, slide gates, valves, blocks, and blind flanges
E-Stops are not included in isolation devices

5. Equipment Specific Procedures
There are specific procedures for :
Shutting down the equipment
Isolating equipment from its energy source
Blocking from residual energy source
Securing equipment for work
<ENTER> <ENTER> <ENTER> <ENTER>
Written instructions:
How to properly shut a particular piece of equipment down.
What energy is on a particular piece of equipment.
Where to find the isolation devices on that machine to stop it at the source.
Will be located in the department close to the machines.

6. Lockout/ Tagout
The placement of a lock and tag on an isolating device which ensures that the equipment being controlled cannot be re-energized until the locking device is removed
The Parts of a lockout/Tagout are:
<ENTER>
The Lock
And the tags

7. Colored Locks and Tags Blue locks will be equipment locks
Used to protect equipment
Red locks
Used for SGS Personal Protection
Green locks
Given to contractors to use on SGS equipment
Orange Locks
Group locks for person controlling a group lockout
Tags are used for the following:
Communication
Who is locking out the equipment
Blue locks protect equipment that has been shut down for repair or needs repair
<ENTER>
Red locks protect SGS personnel
Major thing to remember is 1 lock, 1key, 1 person
Green locks will be issued to contractors coming into the plant to work on SGS equipment
Orange locks will be for group lockouts. Where more many people are working on a machine and 1 person is controlling the lockout.

8. A Typical Lockout/Tagout

9. Yellow Tag
Occasionally, you may see a yellow tag without a lock on it. This indicates the equipment is out of service
This machine is tagged out
because it will not run
The tag will tell you what the issue is
Never attempted to operate tagged equipment

10. Verify
The process of operating the start controls, engaging levers, measuring voltage, inspecting lockout devices valves,disconnect switches, blades, piping systems in an area to make sure that all energy sources have been isolated and controlled.
Verification is nothing more than trying to start the machine.
Pulling the levers, turning the knobs--What ever would release the energy as you would when you operate the equipment.
<ENTER>
Means you’ve checked everything.
MAJOR POINT All start buttons and controls are worked to make sure you have gotten rid of all the residual energy.
MAJOR POINT All start buttons and controls are to be returned to the off or neutral position after all energy has been released.

11. Your Role Affected Employee
An individual whose job requires him/her to operate or use a machine or piece of equipment on which servicing or maintenance is being performed under the lockout/tagout/verify procedure. This also pertains to any employee whose job requires him/her to work in an area where servicing or maintenance is being performed
Authorized Employee
An individual who uses the lockout/tagout /verify procedure on a machine or piece of equipment that is to be serviced or maintained
You have an important role.
<ENTER>

12. You May Be Both
An authorized employee and an affected employee may be the same person, when the affected employee’s duties also include performing maintenance or service on a machine or equipment that requires Lockout/Tagout/Verify procedure.
AUTHORIZED
Properly plan the job.
Notify all affected employees in the area of work.
Shut down the equipment at the operating controls.
Isolate all energy sources to equipment.
Lock and tag all isolating devices
Dissipate all stored or residual energy sources.
Verify the isolation.
AFFECTED
Stay clear of the area as much as possible.
Never attempt to assist .
Never interfere or tamper with a lock or tag.
Report all unusual situation to your supervisor or foreman
This is the case of CFM operators.
They are trained that they will be protected when the lubricate the back of the machines.
You never put a lock or tag on equipment unless you are authorized.
