(+) terminal of the battery in the compressor, or if
provided with two (2) 12V batteries connected in
series, from the ungrounded battery in the com-
pressor, and finally, disconnect the other end of
this same jumper cable from the positive (POS)
(+) terminal of the battery in the starting vehicle

1.12 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 Autho-
rized Persons 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
12
reservoir tanks. Lockout or tag lines or
valves.
b. Any mechanism under tension or pres-
sure, 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 capaci-
tors should be safely discharged.
6. Lockout and/or Tagout each energy source
using the proper energy isolating devices
and tags. Place lockout hasp and padlock or
tag at the point of power disconnect where
lockout is required
performing work. Each person shall be
provided with their own padlock and have
possession of the only key. If more than one
person is working on a machine each person
shall affix personal lock and tag using a
multi-lock device.
7. Tagout devices shall be used only when
power sources are not capable of being
locked out by use of padlocks and lockout
hasp devices. Name of 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
"Authorized" person who put the lock on the
energy-isolating device. No one other than
the person/persons placing padlock ad
lockout hasp 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 padlock/
padlocks and lockout hasps and restore
power only if it is first:
a. verified that no person will be exposed to
danger.
b. verified that the "Authorized" person who
applied the device is not in the facility.
c. noted that all reasonable efforts to con-
tact the "Authorized" person have been
made to inform him or her that the lock-
out or tagout device has been removed.
