Lockout/Tagout Refresher 29 CFR 1910.147


Lockout/Tagout Goals

OSHA violations, written program, and training Energy sources and general procedures Quiz


Why Use Lockout?

Machine guards removed Exposed to

machine hazards Unexpectedly energizing Unexpected start-up Release of stored energy


Frequent OSHA Violations

Lockout/tagout program 721 violations with

$993,089 in penalties Lockout/tagout

procedures 672 violations with

$936,606 in penalties


Lockout/Tagout Program

Energy control procedures Employee training Periodic inspections Unexpected energizing,

start up, release of stored energy

Isolation of energy sources before servicing


Specific Lockout/Tagout Procedures

Development and use of specific procedures General lockout

procedures Shutting down

and isolating energy Placement and

removal of locks Testing machine

and verifying control of energy


Exception to Specific Procedures

No stored energy Single energy source Single lockout device needed No hazards for others No accidents


“Authorized” Employees

Permitted to implement lockout/tagout

Receive specific training

Identify hazardous energy sources

Trained in procedures to control energy


“Affected” Employees

Work near lockout/tagout process Operate machines that might be locked out Never conduct lockout/tagout Never tamper with lockout/tagout device


Annual Inspections

Verification of specific written procedures Competency of authorized employees Observation by

another authorized employee

Correction of the procedure or employee

Documentation of inspection


Retraining

Annual retraining recommended

Change in job assignment

New machinesor processes

Change in a specific procedure

Employee incorrectly performs lockout



OSHA violations, written program and training

Energy sources and general procedures Quiz


Hazardous Energy Sources

Electricity Hydraulic systems Pneumatic pressure Mechanical energy Chemical systems Thermal devices Steam systems Gravity


Controlling Energy Sources

Move electrical disconnect switch to “off” Close valve Bleed off

remaining pressure Release

mechanical springs Block in the

“up” position Allow equipment to cool


General Lockout Procedures

1. Identify hazards and get lockout equipment

2. Notify “affected” employees

3. Shut down machine

4. Turn off all energy sources


General Lockout Procedures (cont.)

5. Apply locks to control energy

6. Test operating controls

7. Perform repair or service


General Lockout Procedures (cont.)

8. Remove tools, install guards, notify workers

9. Remove locks and apply energy

10. Start up equipment


Tagout

Energy source not designed for a lock

Printed “danger” warning

Does not prevent reenergizing

Does not protect the worker


Special Locks

Standardized Durable Strong Identified


Group Lockout

Two people cannot work under one lock

Each person must apply lock

Groups must use group lockout device

One person must be in charge of lockout

Review procedures before starting


Removing Locks

“Authorized” person not available

Verify person is not at the facility

Contact person for permission

Remove lock


Changing Shifts

Must be coordinated between persons responsible

Completed shift removes locks Starting shift applies locks Verifies equipment is de-energized


Cord and Plug

Lockout not required Unplugging controls

energy source Plug under control

of employee


Outside Contractors

Provide copy of company procedures Review copy of contractor’s procedures Determine optimum lockout procedure Train “authorized” workers



OSHA violations, written program, and training

Energy sources and general procedures Quiz


Summary

Know how to recognize energy sources Learn to control energy sources Follow specific written procedures Annual inspections


Quiz

1. Name the two reasons for frequent lockout/tagout violations.

2. What must be done before someone else can remove your lock?

3. After applying locks and before entering the hazard area, what must you do?

4. Name three sources of energy.5. When should you apply lockout/tagout

to a machine?


Quiz (cont.)

6. Name two reasons for doing lockout/tagout retraining.

7. When doing annual inspections, what are the two things you are inspecting?

8. For group lockout, only the “responsible” person applies locks. True or False

9. Name three things you need to do before removing the locks.

10. What should you do with stored hydraulic or air pressure?


Quiz Answers

1. No written program, no specific procedures

2. Verify not at the facility, contact to get permission

3. Test the machine to verify energy sources are controlled

4. Electricity, hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanical, chemical, thermal, gravity

5. Removing machine guards, exposed to machine hazards


Quiz Answers (cont.)

6. Job change, new machine, procedure change, lockout performed incorrectly

7. Inspect procedure and inspect “authorized” employee

8. False, every “authorized” person must apply a lock to each energy source

9. Remove tools, install guards, notify nearby workers

10. Bleed off remaining pressure
