Tagout only requirements
Lockout - tagout requirements
Special circumstances
Summary

4. WHAT IS HAZARDOUS ENERGY?
Hazardous energy is the energy stored that if released may cause a serious accident or physical damage.
Cannot be seen in many cases and may trigger repercussions or knock effects

5. CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS ENERGIES
Purpose:
To ensure persons who work on or around hazardous energy sources are aware of controls to prevent injury or accidents.
To give confidence to maintenance employees
Maybe cleaning _________ 1/year isolations

6. 5 TYPES OF HAZARDOUS ENERGY
Electrical
Chemical
Kinetic
Thermal Radiation
Pressure
Static discharge - fits under electrical
Lighting - fits under electrical

7. TYPES AND RISKS Electrical Chemical Kinetic Thermal Radiation Pressure
v, high voltage - substations
Chemical
reaction, fire, explosion
Kinetic
release of a spring, moving parts, falling objects
Thermal Radiation
hot/cold, radiation
Pressure
pressurised gases, vacuum pumps, pneumatic cylinders
: common to tool or equipment in fabs
Chemicals: must be compatible when stored

8. LOCKOUT - TAGOUT
Lockout
The placement of a lockout device on an energy isolation device. This ensures that the energy isolating device and the systems it controls cannot be accidentally operated.
Tagout
The placement of a tagout device on an energy isolation device to indicate that the isolation device and the system being controlled may not be operated until the tagout device is removed.

9. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Any equipment able to store hazardous energy must have lockout and tagout capability.
Only trained and authorised persons can perform lockout - tagout.
A lockout - tagout device cannot be removed on behalf of another person, unless an approved transfer procedure has taken place.
Design and specifications for control equipment, today try to incorporate LO/TO capability

10. SITUATIONS REQUIRING THE USE OF LOCKOUT - TAGOUT
When servicing, maintaining or repairing mechanical equipment where parts could create a safety hazard.
When working on pipelines that carry hazardous chemicals (e.g. high pressure, toxic, corrosive, etc.).
On electrical circuits and systems where a high risk of electrical shock exists.
Where other hazardous energies exists that may cause injury if intentionally released during service or maintenance.

11. TAGOUT
Tagout alone is permitted only in circumstances where a lockout device cannot be used.
Seek approval from your supervisor before commencing any work on equipment that cannot be locked out.
It is your responsibility to remove your tag or lock prior to closeout of the work permit.
The norm is for tags to be attached to the lock, providing the necessary information

12. TAGOUT REQUIREMENTS
A tag may only be removed by the person who attached it
A tag should never be bypassed, ignored or defeated
A tag must be able to withstand the environmental conditions
A tag must be securely attached so it is not inadvertently defeated
A tag must only be transferred when ownership has to be changed for a task
The new Owner must affix his tag with all relevant details and ensure the work permit shows the same details.

13. LOCKOUT - TAGOUT REQUIREMENTS
Always follow the site lockout and tagout rules to control hazardous energies
Use only approved locks and tags
A lock or tag may only be removed by the person who applied it
Always use a multiple lockout clasp in case others need to lockout

14. LOCKOUT - TAGOUT REQUIREMENTS
Only one key to one lock
Where a machine or its supporting equipment are to be worked on all relevant permits must be used
Where piped systems or exhaust ducting is to be worked on, then the system Owner must sign off the respective permits
All parts of any supportive equipment items must be included in the isolation
Two areas of work may be occurring on the same pipework system

15. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Abandoned locks
Change of shift
Multiple workers
All efforts will be made to bring back to site any person who fitted a lock or tag and left without completing the procedure

16. SUMMARY Types of hazardous energy with risks: Electrical Chemical
electrical shock
burns
fire / explosion
secondary injuries
Chemical
chemical splash
inhalation
dermatitis
cancer

17. SUMMARY Types of hazardous energy with risks: Kinetic
crushing of body parts
amputation
entanglement
Thermal Radiation
burns hot/cold
fire
eye injuries
skin cancer

18. SUMMARY
Types of hazardous energy with risks:
Pressure
punctures
secondary injuries
bends - air blockage in the bloodstream
physical hazards - flying particles
Control all potentially hazardous situations by using a lockout - tagout system
Do not remove any “hold off” tag unless authorized to do so
Report immediately any damaged or defaced tags or locks

19. Permit Issued By
Authorized Person
FCT, PC, System Owner

20. Lockout - Tagout Procedure
Must Be In Place Before
Any Line Break Starts.
