1 Lockout/Tagout Affected Employees

2 Hazardous energy sources v Evaluate machines, equipment, and processes v Develop energy control plan 1a

3 Hazardous energy sources v Look for all sources of energy v Identify secondary and stored energy sources 1b

4 Why lockout/tagout is necessary v Prevents injury due to unexpected startup of equipment or released energy v Maintenance/servicing operations often require employee to place part or all of his/her body into machine’s point of operation 2a

5 Functions covered by lockout/tagout v Servicing of machines and equipment v Performing maintenance on equipment and machinery v Normal operations 3a

6 Energy control program v Authorized employees v Affected employees v Other employees 4a

7 Energy control program v Energy control procedures v Training v Periodic audits 4b

8 Preparation for shutdown v Authorized employees locate all energy sources v Authorized employees inform all affected persons 5a

9 Shutdown procedure v Each piece of equipment or machine must be shutdown according to written energy control procedures v Orderly shutdown avoids additional or increased hazards 6a

10 Shutdown procedure v Authorized employee uses shutdown procedures that are established for the machine 6b

11 Isolating machinery from its energy sources v Type of devices to be used v Placement of isolating devices 7a

12 Application of lockout/tagout devices v Positioning of lockout/tagout devices v Only authorized employees can attach the devices 8a

13 Releasing stored energy v Authorized employees check for and relieve: electrical energy capacitorselectrical energy capacitors residual pressure in lines and pipesresidual pressure in lines and pipes 9a

14 Verification procedures v Authorized employee verifies that all locks and tags are in place v Authorized employee tries to operate the equipment 10a

15 Restoring energy to the equipment/machine v Authorized employees remove tools from the area, replace guards v Authorized employees ensure that all employees are safely positioned or removed from the area 11a

16 Restoring energy to the equipment/machine v The authorized employee who applies the lock is the only one who can remove it v Special requirements for testing and positioning equipment 11b

17 Lockout devices v Types used v Standardized for easy recognition 12a

18 Lockout devices v Authorized employees may never use someone else’s lockout device v The lock must identify the person who applied it 12b

19 Tags v Types used v Standardized for easy recognition 13a

20 Tags v The attachment means for a tag must be: non-reusablenon-reusable attachable by handattachable by hand self-locking and non-reusable with locking strength of 50 poundsself-locking and non-reusable with locking strength of 50 pounds equivalent to a one-piece, all- environment-tolerant nylon cable tieequivalent to a one-piece, all- environment-tolerant nylon cable tie 13b

21 Tags v The tag’s legend must include the following types of statements: 13c

22 Restarting/Re-energizing equipment v Only authorized employees may remove a machine from lockout/tagout v Affected employees must not attempt to restart or re-energize machines/equipment that are locked/tagged out 14a
