Example: Of Typical Equipment Requiring LOTO

Presses Saws Conveyors Pumps Production Equipment Trash Compactors Ovens Compressors Actuator Valves Tanks

Typical LOCKOUT/TAGOUT Examples:

When Must LOTO Be Used?

When servicing or maintaining equipment where: Hazardous energy exists Unexpected start-up could occur Either of these could harm an employee

LOTO Shall Be Used When:

Employees are required to remove or bypass a safety device Employees are required to place any part of their body in harms way Employees are exposed to hazardous energy

LOTO Exceptions
Work where hazardous energy does not exist Activities performed during routine production processes Work on cord-controlled devices Hot tap operations where shutdown is not feasible

Typical LOTO Procedures

Performing a shutdown Isolating equipment Applying and removing lockout devices Safely releasing stored energy

Affected Employees
Employees who Operate Work around Occasionally adjust equipment that is subject to LOTO

Authorized Employee
Maintains equipment Services equipment Is trained to use LOTO

Company Responsibilities
Ensure de-energization of equipment Ensure employee awareness Provide appropriate levels of training Review program effectiveness Maintain and revise program Administer appropriate disciplinary actions

Maintenance Responsibilities
Lockout/Tagout prior to service or repair Remove or cut locks off isolation devices Ensure proper training of authorized employees

Affected Employee Responsibilities

Notify maintenance, etc., when equipment needs repair or adjustment Leave all LOTO devices in place Verify equipment is safe to operate following LOTO Follow all safety rules while operating the equipment

Authorized Employee Responsibilities

Repair or service equipment as needed Ensure that all energy sources are locked out Test equipment to verify residual energy is dissipated Place a DangerDo Not Operate tag on equipment

Authorized Employee Responsibilities (cont.)

Obtain assistance when necessary Remove locks and/or tags following LOTO Coordinate multi-shift repair

Training Requirements
Authorized employeesinitially and at least annually Affected employeesat least initially Authorized and affectedwhenever changes are made to jobs or procedures Authorized and affectedwhen program deficiencies are noted
