Lockout/Tagout is the placement of a lock/tag on an energy isolating device in
accordance with an established procedure. When taking equipment out of service
to perform maintenance or repair work, always follow the lockout/tagout procedures
as outlined in ANSI Z344.1 and/or OSHA Standard 1910.147. This standard
"requires employers to establish a program and utilize procedures for affixing
appropriate lockout devices or tagout devices to energy isolating devices and to
otherwise disable machines or equipment to prevent unexpected energizing,
start-up, or release of stored energy in order to prevent injury to employees."
There are two Emergency Stop push buttons on the LX Series Seed
Treater, which are located on the main control panel and the treater
junction box. Actuators of emergency stop shall be colored RED. The
background immediately around the device actuator shall be colored
YELLOW. The actuator pushbutton-operated device shall be of the palm
or mushroom head type.
This is the stopping of machine motion by reducing the electrical command signal to
0 (zero) once the stop signal has been recognized.
Electrocution Hazard
Electrocution accidents are most likely to occur during maintenance of
the electrical system or when working on or near exposed high voltage
wiring. This hazard does not exist when the electrical power has been
disconnected, properly locked, and tagged out.
Automatic Start Hazard
This seed treating system is usually controlled by an automated system
and may start without warning. Failure to properly disconnect, lockout,
and tagout all energy sources of remotely controlled equipment creates a
very hazardous situation and could cause injury or even death. PLEASE
STAY CLEAR AND BE ALERT.
