• LO/TO accidents are severe– Average lost work days for

failure to LO/TO is 24 days per injury

– 7% of all fatalities are related to failure to LO/TO

66


• Purpose of the Control of Hazardous Energy Program:

– If a risk exists to any person on unexpected start up, all protective measures are taken to isolate all sources of hazardous energy.

77

ApplicationApplication

Application of Lockout/Tagout is required:– when servicing and/or maintaining machines

or equipment,– if it is necessary to remove a guard or bypass

safety device or interlock,– if employee has the potential to be exposed to

material being processed or machine cycle.

– Extended period of time… discontinued ...not longer part of operation

– Long term locks available for use by the responsible person

TrainingTraining

Additional Training for Authorized Persons

– When implementation is required.– Recognition of hazardous energies.– Returning equipment to service.– If questions on application specific actions to

be taken.

2211

TrainingTraining

Additional training required if . . .– new equipment is

introduced– changes in LO/TO

equipment– periodic audit

identifies need
