THE WHOLE TEAM

3. Types of Energy requiring lockout
Electrical
Mechanical
Chemical
Thermal
Hydraulic
Pneumatic
Other pressurized systems

4. WHEN?
Removing or bypassing a guard or other safety device (i.e. bandsaw blade replacement)
Putting any part of our body on or near a piece of equipment where work is performed (i.e. pump or engine maintenance)
Is in an associated danger zone during a machine operating cycle (i.e. installing or removing a piping system)
Entering a confined space where hazardous energy may be connected to the space

5. WHY? Serious Injury or Death can occur. Ask Yourself
Is this worth losing my fingers?
Have you ever been ‘bitten’ by equipment at work or at home? Shocked? Pinch points? Cut?
Is this worth risking thousands of dollars in fines or possibly my livelihood?
Is this worth losing a major contract?

6. Examples of proper application

7. LOTO Equipment

8. Locks Yellow locks are for equipment when using a LOTO Box
Red Locks are for people. Every person who is working on the equipment or could be exposed to the hazard needs to be locked out using a red lock.

9. Locking out a Pump OR
Positive Terminal

10. SMALL VALVES

11. Large VALVES

12. Cable System
Open device and insert cable in direction of arrow. Note cable can be tightened, but not loosened, with locks applied.

13. Trouble valves?
Cable will work.

14. No place to lock out?
The cable systems allow for a variety of valves.

15. Group Lockout/Tagout
Equipment to be locked out using a yellow equipment lock
Equipment keys are then placed in a LOTO Box

16. Group Lockout/Tagout Personal locks are then placed on the LOTO Box
Additional Keys may be added to the LOTO Box as needed
End result
All employees are locked out on all equipment who’s keys are in the box.
Each employee only needs one personal lock to lock out several items

17. FAQs
If I need to reach into a fusion machine to clear out scraps, wipe the surfaces, or for some other reason do I need to lock out the machine? YES LOTO is required if you are going to be reaching into a pinch point on a fusion machine.

18. FAQs Can I just unplug a piece of electrical equipment?
In some cases YES, so long as the power cord is the ONLY source of energy and it is under the direct control of the person doing maintenance. Examples
Welder changing disk on 4’’ grinder
Changing disk on bench grinder
Maintaining portable drill press

19. FAQs
Why cant I just take off the neg. terminal on the battery and stuff it down the battery box? Most equipment (like pumps) is bonded to the metal frame. Any contact with metal parts can re-energize the system. Always disconnect and LOTO the positive terminal with the terminal block. This ensures isolation.

20. FAQ
What if I am the ONLY mechanic to work on a pump? Do I still need to LOTO? YES. All employees must be protected from hazardous energy. Including YOU.

21. FAQ Is LOTO ONLY for protecting people?
That is the primary concern but LOTO is also useful to protect equipment and the environment.
Starting a vehicle or equipment without oil or missing parts
Breaking apart a pipeline and causing a spill
Starting a pump with pipeline unfinished and valves open

22. FAQ What does it mean to ‘Verify’ isolation?
After following your physical LOTO procedures, try the equipment to ‘verify’ they DO NOT operate.
Turn on the switches
Try the tools
Turn the keys
Try the valve handles

23. Summary
All hazardous energy sources must be controlled and stored energy released
Control via energy isolation device (LOTO)
Only use designated lock for LOTO
All personal locks need to be labeled for whose lock it is (Tag will work)
Remember to verify isolation
Ensure area is clear before restarting equipment
