1.11 Implementation of lockout/tagout

The energy control procedure defines actions necessary
to lockout a power source of any machine to be repaired,
serviced or set-up, where unexpected motion, or an
electrical or other energy source, would cause personal
injury or equipment damage. The power source on any
machine shall be locked out by each employee doing the
work except when motion is necessary during setup,
adjustment or trouble-shooting.
A. The established procedures for the application of
energy control shall cover the following elements and
actions and shall be initiated only by Authorized Per-
sons and done in the following sequence:
1. Review the equipment or machine to be locked
and tagged out.
2. Alert operator and supervisor of which machine
is to be worked on, and that power and utilities
will be turned off.
3. Check to make certain no one is operating the
machine before turning off the power.
4. Turn off the equipment using normal shutdown
procedure.
5. Disconnect the energy sources:
a. Air and hydraulic lines should be bled,
drained and cleaned out. There should be
no pressure in these lines or in the reser-
voir tanks. Lockout or tag lines or valves.
b. Any mechanism under tension or pressure,
such as springs, should be released and
locked out or tagged.
c. Block any load or machine part prior to
working under it.
d. Electrical circuits should be checked with
calibrated electrical testing equipment and
stored energy and electrical capacitors
should be safely discharged.

sources are not capable of being locked out by
use of padlocks and lockout hasp devices. The
name of the person affixing tag to power source
must be on tag along with date tag was placed
on power source.
8. Release stored energy and bring the equipment
to a "zero mechanical state".
9. Verify Isolation: Before work is started, test
equipment to ensure power is disconnected.
B. General Security
1. The lock shall be removed by the "Authorized"
person who put the lock on the energy-isolating
device. No one other than the person/persons
placing padlocks and lockout hasps on power
shall remove padlock and lockout hasps and
restore power. However, when the authorized
person who applied the lock is unavailable to
remove it his/her Supervisor may remove pad-
lock/padlocks and lockout hasps and restore
power only if it is first:
