LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that, in addition to posting safety warnings and
barricading the work area, the power supply has been locked in the OFF position or disconnected. It is mandatory
that an approved lockout device is utilized. An example of a lockout device is illustrated above. The proper lockout
procedure requires that the person responsible for the repairs is the only person who has the ability to remove the
lockout device.
In addition to the lockout device, it is also a requirement to tag the power control in a manner that will clearfspy note
that repairs are under way and state who is responsible for the lockout condition. Tagout devices have to be
constructed and printed so that exposure to weather conditions or wet and damp locations will not cause the tag to
deteriorate or become unreadable.

meets OSHA standards (refer to OSHA regulation 1910.147). RITE-HITE
