Study Notes

Lockout/Tagout Overview

  • Equipment modifications and new unit start-ups necessitate additional lockout/tagout training for existing workforce.
  • Lockout locks must maintain standardized features (color, shape, or size) for consistent safety practices.

Tagout Procedures

  • When equipment cannot be locked out, a tagout device must still be attached, following proper tagout procedures.
  • A tag communicates that the machine should not be operated or that energy isolating devices must remain in the "safe" or "off" position.

Lockout/Tagout Standards

  • Lockout/Tagout standards are mandated to prevent the release of hazardous energy during machine servicing or maintenance.
  • Energy isolating devices can include circuit breakers, disconnect switches, and line valves.

Authorized Employees and Responsibilities

  • An "authorized employee" executes energy control procedures and is responsible for locking or tagging out machines for maintenance purposes.
  • Only the individual who locked the machine can remove the lock.

Group Lockout Procedures

  • In group servicing, a designated employee is responsible for leading the tagout/lockout procedure, chosen by group consensus.

Training and Knowledge Requirements

  • Employers are required to retrain employees when there are changes in work assignments, processes, machinery, or energy control procedures.
  • Employees must be knowledgeable about controlled energy types, their magnitude, hazards, and the methods to control that energy.

Safety and Emergency Protocols

  • The primary goal of lockout/tagout is to safeguard employees from serious injuries caused by accidental energy releases.
  • Before removing any machine guard, proper lockout/tagout protocols must be followed.

Documentation and Record Keeping

  • Essential lockout/tagout records include written procedures, inspection documents, and training records to ensure compliance and safety.

Device Specifications

  • Lockout/tagout devices must be durable and substantial enough to prevent accidental removal.

Common Incidents and Prevention

  • The leading causes of lockout/tagout injuries, termed "The Fatal Five", include failure to stop equipment, disconnect power sources, drain residual energy, accidental restarts, and not clearing work areas before beginning maintenance.
  • Lockout/tagout serves to prevent injury from unexpected machine startups or energy releases.

Alternative Measures

  • Tags should only be used when locking out is not feasible, emphasizing the importance of locks in the safety protocol.
