LockoutA technique used to prevent hazardous energy
from escaping. A padlock is placed on a disconnect switch, circuit breaker, valve handle or other energy-isolating mechanism that is in the off or closed position.
Tag Out
Energy isolating device is placed in the safe
position and a written warning tag is attached. This warning tag must have the authorized users name and department.
Who Can Lockout Equipment?
Only Employees who have been trained and authorized by
management and have received the proper equipment
Authorized vs Affected Employees
Personnel trained to lockout-tagout machines or equipment to perform servicing or maintenance on that machine or piece of equipment is the AUTHORIZED employee.
The employee whose job requires operating or use of a machine or equipment on which servicing or maintenance is being performed is the AFFECTED personnel.
Use your own Lockout Tagout device
Every single authorized employee working on a system shall independently lockout and/or tagout the system using his or her own lock and/or tag◦eliminates the possibility of others inadvertently
unlocking an isolation device when it is being worked on by another.
◦at no time should any employee depend on the lock or tag of another worker to protect them during their service activities.
First Step In LOTO
1. Know your equipment & systems • hazards • isolation points • procedure for Lockout/Tagout
Working on unfamiliar machinery is a hazard
Next Steps
2. Inform affected personnel◦ Inform appropriate departments and employees
in the work area
3. Prepare for shutdown◦ Know energy types and hazards
4. Shut down◦ Follow the guidelines of the machinery
5. Isolate equipment◦ Turn off EVERY energy source feeding the
equipment.
Next Steps
5. Apply lockout / tagout device◦ At all disconnects, valves and energy isolating
devices
6. Control STORED energy◦ Relieve disconnect or restrain residual energy
that COULD be present
7. Verify Isolation of equipment◦ Don’t take anything for granted. Double check !
The Fatal Five
Failure to stop equipment
Failure to disconnect from power source
Failure to dissipate (bleed, neutralize) residual energy
Accidental restarting of equipment
Failure to clear work areas before restarting
Removing locks and tags
1.Make sure equipment is operationally intact
2.Remove tools and non-essentials
3.Tell all affected employees(head count)
4.Make sure area is clear5.Remove lockout /tagout
devices◦ Each worker removes their own
lock/tag7.Tell affected employees locks
and tags have been removed and equipment is ready to use
