1. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 1 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 A user-friendly training module to ensure that supervisors and workers Understand correct lockout/tagout procedures. Follow procedures to the letter. Prevent injuries and deaths. The Business 21 Publishing Safety Training Series Taking Personal Responsibility for Safety Lockout/Tagout

2. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 2 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 About this Presentation By the end of this presentation, you’ll be able to: Recognize the when, how and why of lockout/tagout procedures Spot dangerous violations, and Minimize the chances of serious injury.

3. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 3 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 What is lockout/tagout? Lockout/tagout is the isolation of all energy sources with a lock – and a tag explaining why the lock is there – BEFORE servicing any piece of equipment or machinery.

4. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 4 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 The OSHA Standard OSHA Standard for the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) It covers the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment in which the unexpected energization, start-up or release of stored energy could injure employees.

5. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 5 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Key lockout/tagout definitions - #1 Authorized employee – An employee who performs servicing or maintenance on machines and equipment. A person who locks and tags machines or equipment in order to perform service or maintenance on that machine or equipment.

6. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 6 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Key lockout/tagout definitions - #2 Affected employee – An employee whose job requires him to use a machine or equipment on which maintenance is being performed under lockout/tagout, or whose job requires her to work in an area where service or maintenance is being performed. Affected employees must be told when any lockout/tagout is to be performed.

7. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 7 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Why is lockout/tagout important? Because it’s the only reliable way to avoid injuries or death to workers servicing machinery. It’s important for all employees to understand lockout/tagout procedures, how and when to use them and how to safely restart the equipment or machinery.

8. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 8 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Why even good workers ignore lockout/tagout They think turning off the power or unplugging the machine is good enough. They don’t want to interrupt production. They think they’re experienced enough to avoid injury.

9. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 9 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Exceptions to lockout/tagout Minor service activities during normal production Routine, repetitive adjustment Minor tool changes

10. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 10 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Electrical Energy – flow of electrons through a conductor. Kinetic (Moving) Energy – force caused by an object’s motion. Hydraulic Energy – force caused by pressurized fluid, especially water. Pneumatic Energy – force caused by compressed air. Potential (Stored) Energy – force stored in an object that isn’t moving. Thermal Energy – increased heat of a fluid or object. Six types of energy sources that pose potential dangers

11. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 11 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Example #1 of potential energy danger – gravity What is up will come down, unless you lock it out.

12. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 12 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Example #2 of potential energy danger – hydraulic Fluids under pressure can burst out unpredictably, or cause dangerous machinery to move, if lockout/tagout isn’t performed.

13. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 13 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Other examples of potential energy danger Energy risks may exist in your personal environment at work. Can you identify them?

14. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 14 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Lockout/Tagout Equipment Personalized, standardized lock Personalized, standardized tag Hasp, or multiple lockout device, when machinery won’t accept multiple locks

15. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 15 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Lockout/tagout musts Notify De-energize Release or restrain stored energy Check locks and/or tags for defects Place lock and/or tag Test machinery to ensure it is de-energized

16. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 16 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Putting equipment back on line Check for tools and materials Notify workers and make sure everyone is clear Have each person remove locks and/or tags Start and test the machine Return machine to production or de-energize through lockout/tagout

17. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 17 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Frequent violations 1. Ignoring the rule because somebody thinks he doesn’t need it. 2. Misusing the lockout/tagout equipment. 3. Doing an incomplete lockout/tagout that leaves out a source or a circuit. 4. Failing to check the safety of the lockout. 5. Using a single lockout device for more than one worker.

18. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 18 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Violation #1. Ignoring the rules… May be among your smartest employees – that can lead to overconfidence and a feeling of invulnerability. May have the best of intentions – they feel that speed is important and they can get the job done faster without locking and tagging out. Are risking serious injury.

19. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 19 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Consequences of non- compliance may be fatal Machinery harnesses powerful forces to bend, shape and cut materials much more resistant than the human body. The human body is no match for these forces.

20. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 20 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Violation #2. Misusing the lockout/tagout equipment Duplicating keys. Using lockout locks for other purposes. Using control tags as information tags.

21. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 21 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 A. Duplicate keys Best practice is to have individually keyed locks, with no duplicates available. If bolt cutters must be used to remove a lock, that will make people think twice before endangering others.

22. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 22 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 B. Unauthorized use and loss of locks Lockout locks are usually high- quality equipment. Workers may be tempted to use them on their lockers or toolboxes. A surprise inspection of lockout locks can catch and remedy these misuses. Another point: If a lock is lost, the worker shouldn’t attempt to do his job without it. A periodic “roll call” can turn up any unreported lost locks.

23. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 23 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 C. Control tags Control tags are for warning workers of the danger of reopening the circuit or valve while maintenance is going on. They shouldn’t be used to record general information about maintenance or the process.

24. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 24 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Violation #3. Doing an incomplete lockout Machines may have more than one circuit or assembly. Locking out only one path, while leaving others on, represents a clear danger.

25. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 25 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Violation #4. Failing to check the lockout/tagout Verify that the lock is working and the tag is legible. Check that the locked-out machine is truly isolated from all energy sources.

26. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 26 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Violation #5. Using a single lockout device for multiple workers. Nobody watches your back like yourself. That’s the philosophy behind doing multiple lockouts when multiple workers are involved in a maintenance project. Using a single lockout device creates the risk that when that worker finishes and unlocks, remaining workers can be hurt or killed if the machine starts up again.

27. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 27 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Workers comp & LO/TO If lockout/tagout procedures are clearly explained and enforced, and you violate them and are injured, you may lose all or part of your workers compensation entitlement.

28. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT SAFETY Slide # 28 Business 21 Publishing © 2007 Summary Take personal responsibility for safety in locking and tagging out. The ownership you take for your behavior can save your life and the lives of others. Here’s what can happen if you don’t: You can be seriously injured and you may injure someone else. You can lose all or part of your workers comp benefits. You can be disciplined or fired, depending on how grave the violation was.
