Lockout Tagout Training

1. Lockout Tagout Training Logging Industry

2. TOPICS OF DISCUSSION • Management/Supervisory responsibilities • LOTO Energy Source(s) • LOTO Procedures

3. Lockout/ Tagout • Lock and tag is a two part process. • The lock disables and the tag is a warning.

4. RESPONSIBILITIES • MANAGEMENT • SUPERVISORY

5. Management Responsibilities • Develop company policy to control energy source during maintenance. • Produce machine-specific procedures to include applying the locks and tags, release, and notification from lockout. • Train authorized and affected employees to use proper procedures.

6. Supervisors Responsibilities • Ensure initial LOTO training. • Monitor refresher training. • Check for shortcuts, mistakes, or unsafe work practices. • Ensure retraining if jobs change, new machines, control • procedures or modifications occurs. • Enforcement of machine-specific procedures.

7. LOTO ENERGY SOURCES

8. Types of Energy Electrical • Electrical wiring • Batteries

9. Electrical Energy Hazards • Shock • Burns • Fire • Caution - Welding

10. Types of Energy Mechanical • Parts that store energy sources. • Cylinders • Accumulators

11. Mechanical Energy Hazards Pinch-points • Prevent Movement

12. Mechanical Energy Hazards Use wood blocks, chains, or cylinder blocks

13. Mechanical Energy Hazards

14. Mechanical Energy Hazards - Gravity • Do not work under elevated blades, grapples or pressurized systems

15. Mechanical Energy Hazards – Moving Parts • Mechanical parts that are still in motion. • Saw-heads • Fan blades • Shafts • Belt/pulleys • Chain/sprockets

16. Types of Energy Chemical • Lubricants -Oil, hydraulic fluid • Fuels – gas, diesel, kerosene • Coolants -antifreeze • Refrigerants • Battery acid • Cleaners + Solvents

17. Chemical Energy Hazards • Produce energy that can start fires, cause skin burns, freeze skin andgenerate harmful gases or fumes.

18. Types of EnergyThermal- “heat” • Radiators • Brakes • Turbo Charger • Welding • Compressor • Compressed gas

19. Thermal Energy Hazards • Heat/Cold Energy • Hot equipment & fluids will burn you • Cold fluids can cause severe injury • Quick release of compressed gases can freeze your skin (Propane or refrigerants) • Allow equipment to reach a safe temperature before starting work.

20. Types of Energy Pneumatic – “air” • Compressed Air • Welding Gases • Tires

21. Pneumatic Energy Hazards • Compressed gases • Uncontrolled release can cause injury • Properly vent systems before starting work”

22. Types of Energy Hydraulic

23. Hydraulic Energy Hazards –Injuries • Liquids under high pressure • Pressure can cause equipment to move • Rapid release can cause injury or ejection of system parts

24. LOTO PROCEDURES

25. Equipment Specific Procedures Employers: - develop, - document, - and implement equipment specific procedures to control hazardous energy during maintenance operations.

26. Lockout/Tagout Program Purpose - prevent accidental release of energy sources while equipment is being serviced. .

31. LOCKOUT /TAGOUT PROCEDURE MACHINE NAME AND NUMBER ENERGY SOURCE(S) ELECTRICAL CHEMICAL GRAVITY HYDRAULIC MECHANICAL PNEUMATIC THERMAL OTHER: LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURE RESTORING TO NORMAL OPERATIONS ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES *****Sample forms available from Forestry Mutual

32. Lockout/Tagout ( 7 step process ) • #1Prepare for shutdown • Know equipment hazards: • Electrical • Thermal • Mechanical Hydraulic Chemical Pneumatic More then one may be present

33. #2 Shut down equipment Use normal shutdown procedure. Turn all switches to OFF. Put the key in your pocket! Double check your steps to ensure shutdown procedures are complete.

34. Isolate all energy sources • Shut control valves. #3 Turn off master disconnect. Disconnect battery (especially when welding) “Coast Down Time” (most over-looked hazard) Fuel Shut-off

35. Examples requiring energy isolation:

36. #4Install Locks and Tags Valves and electrical disconnects. Block or disconnect air/hydraulic lines.

37. #5 Release or block stored energy • Discharge capacitors • Block or release springs • Stop rotating flywheels • Drain fluids • Block elevated parts • Bleed off pressure • – air & hydraulics Allow moving part to completely stop before continuing !!

38. # 6 Verify equipment isolation Check that locking devices are securely placed. Try to start it! Return Controls to OFF/Neutral.

39. Perform Maintenance Actions

40. # 7Release from LOTO Inspect Area and Equipment. All Guards replaced. Account for tools and parts. Inform others of startup. Remove Locks & Tags. Conduct normal startup.

41. Additional lockout/tagout requirements: • Conduct annual audits - validate your LOTO procedures • Review procedures annually or when required, especially • after an accident has occurred. • Use logger book to list all equipment requiring lockout procedures. *

42. Accidents you may see:

43. From finger(s) to complete hand.

44. Do you enforce lockout/tagout ?? This worker wished his supervisor had. 3rd degree burns….failure to deplete hydraulic pressure -- line ruptured.

45. Safe maintenance - prevent mishaps both to people and equipment

46. Summary • Management / Supervisory responsibilities • LOTO Energy Source(s) • LOTO Procedures
