Study Notes
Equipment Lookout and Lockout Procedures in Safety Management Systems
- Equipment lookout is a system of locks and tags that secure devices to prevent hazardous energy release.
- Locks are used to secure control devices such as disconnect switches, circuit breakers, valves, and clutches.
- Hazardous energy includes electric, compressed gas, steam, hydraulic energy, moving parts, or elevated objects that could injure a worker.
- Equipment lockout is required during maintenance and no work can be done until all parts and attachments are secured, hazards are controlled, and energy isolating devices are locked out.
- A typical lockout station includes locks, tags that read "do not operate," and hasps for equipment or process lookout.
- Personal locks assigned to specific individuals are used for lockout, and combination locks should not be used.
- Shift or personnel changes require an orderly transfer of control of locked-out energy isolating devices.
- If personal locks are not practical, alternate lockout devices such as metal cable seals with unique identifiers can be used.
- De-energization and lockout are necessary to prevent the release of energy that could activate moving parts and cause injury.
- Energy isolating devices must not prevent access to adjacent devices.
- Effective means of verifying lookout, such as pushing a motor start button or opening bleed valves, must be provided and used.
- Each worker is responsible for locking out energy isolating devices, removing personal locks, and maintaining control of their keys.
