Lockout/Tagout Procedure for Energy Sources and LNG Discharge Piping

• Lockout/tagout is required to isolate energy sources before work is performed downstream of the energy.
• Employees must be trained in the purpose and use of the lockout/tagout procedure.
• All isolating devices must be located and identified before locking or tagging out LNG or energy sources.
• Tagout will be used when locking out is not practical.
• Tags must be identified with the employee's name and a warning against operating the equipment.
• Stored energy/LNG must be dissipated or restrained before work is performed.
• Permission from a supervisor and the person who placed the tag is required before operating equipment or components under a tag for testing or any other purpose.
• Tags must be placed on every valve, switch, control, etc., that was changed or locked out.
• After maintenance work is complete, the area around the machines or equipment must be checked to ensure that no one is exposed.
• All tags and locks used for lockout/tagout will be removed by the operator performing the valving or switching.
• If more than one employee is required to lockout or tagout equipment, each employee will place his/her lockout or tagout device.
• If an LNG trailer is deemed unsafe for transport or storage of LNG, it must be placed out of service with two tags indicating the reason for the tag and restrictions of service.
