Purpose, Scope, & Objectives This process establishes a procedure for affixing lockout or tagout devices to energy–isolating devices and for otherwise disabling machines or equipment to prevent unexpected energizing, startup, or release of stored energy. Its intent is to prevent injury to employees and to protect the environment. It addresses lockout/tagout practices that both Chevron, and contractors shall follow on our facilities. On Deep Water facilities, any work requiring a LO/TO, requires the initiation of a Permit To Work. This process covers the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment in all circumstances where stored energy (electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or thermal) or substances (flammable, toxic, or corrosive) may endanger personnel or property through direct or indirect exposure. In addition to this process, a separate procedure must be written for each piece of equipment that has multiple energy sources. GOM LO/TO

GOM LO/TO Procedures: • Only trained, authorized personnel shall implement this lockout and tagout procedure. Before any personnel service or maintain a machine or equipment where the unexpected energizing, startup, or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, the machine or equipment shall be isolated and rendered inoperative. Whenever replacement, repair, renovation, or modification of machines or equipment is performed, and whenever new machines or equipment are installed, energy-isolating devices for such machines or equipment shall be designed to accept a lockout device.

1) Personnel will be required to follow the equipment specific procedures.Equipment specific procedures shall be stored electronically and made accessible to all personnel. • True • False

GOM LO/TO • Tags shall meet the following requirements: • Including their means of attachment, tags shall be designed to prevent accidental removal. Means of attachment shall be non-reusable, attachable by hand, self–locking, and non-releasable, with a minimum unlocking strength of no less than 50 pounds. Tie wraps with a tensile breaking strength of 50 pounds or more meet this requirement. • Tags shall indicate the identity of the authorized person applying the devices. • Tags shall be weather–resistant and contain an intact eye so they can be secured to a piece of machinery or equipment with a tie wrap. • Only "Danger" and "Information" tags have been approved for lockout and tagout. These tags are OSHA-approved with standard coloring and format.

GOM LO/TO • All tags must be dated and signed. They must also identify the equipment being tagged and the nature of the work being performed. • Equipment tagged with the "Danger" tag shall not be operated until the tag is removed by the authorized person who installed it, by the PIC or by a PIC designee. "Information" tags shall be used in addition to the "Danger" tag anytime there is insufficient room for remarks on the "Danger" tag.

GOM LO/TO • 2) If an energy-isolating device is not capable of being locked out • A) Shut off the power and no further action is required • B) Identify the device with a brightly colored flagging material • C) The tagout procedure shall be used. • D) The tagout device shall be attached where the lockout device would have been attached. • E) Both C&D

GOM LO/TO • 3) Unauthorized removal of a lockout device is permitted if use of the locked out equipment is needed. • True • False

GOM LO/TO • 3) Unauthorized removal of a lockout device is permitted if use of the locked out equipment is needed. • True • False • Unauthorized removal of any lockout device or tagout device or operation of any tagged equipment may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

GOM LO/TO • 4) Where locks, tags, and isolating devices are used, the PIC shall ensure that a list is maintained showing the ________ and _______of each lock, and the names of the ______ personnel who installed them. • size, color, affected • Color, manufacturer, authorized • Number, location, affected • Number, location, authorized

GOM LO/TO • 4) Where locks, tags, and isolating devices are used, the PIC shall ensure that a list is maintained showing the Number and location of each lock, and the names of the authorized personnel who installed them. • size, color, affected • Color, manufacturer, authorized • Number, location, affected • Number, location, authorized

GOM LO/TO • Locks • Padlocks are the preferred type of lockout device. Other lockout devices may be wedges, chains with locks, key blocks, self-locking fasteners, blinds, skillets, or other hardware. They isolate, secure, or block machines or equipment from energy sources. Lockout devices shall be: • Standardized throughout GOMBU • Substantial enough to prevent removal without the use of excessive force • Capable of withstanding the environment to which they are exposed • Designated lockout devices shall not be used for other purposes and shall be identified as lockout devices.

GOM LO/TO • 5) The standard lock for the GOMBU is the safety lockout padlocks, each is stamped with the words "Safety Lockout” to alert workers. These locks can be ordered through any approved vendor. • True • False

GOM LO/TO • Each lock will be an independently keyed padlock. • The standard lock for the GOMBU is the "Safety Lockout Padlocks" each lock is stamped with the words "Safety Lockout" to alert workers. These locks can be ordered through any approved vendor in 1.75" or 3" shaft lengths. It is the intent that all locks ordered after May 2004 will be Safety Lockout Padlocks and that this will become the standard for the GOMBU.

GOM LO/TO • 6) The form used to document the number and location of each lock is the • Equipment Specific check list • LOTO Worksheet • LOTO ID book • LOTO tracking tool

GOM LO/TO • 7) The authorized person that installed the lockout or tagout device may transfer the __________ of the lockout or tagout device to another authorized person. • Authorization for removal • The key • LOTO worksheet • Work site.

GOM LO/TO • 8) A crane that is taken out of service for repairs will not be put back into service until approved/authorized by ___________. • The crane operator • The PIC • The OS • A qualified crane inspector

GOM LO/TO • 9) If equipment is added or modified, a _______must be performed and new equipment specific procedures shall be developed. • Inspection • Review • Analysis • MOC

GOM LO/TO • 9) If equipment is added or modified, a MOCmust be performed and new equipment specific procedures shall be developed. • Inspection • Review • Analysis • MOC
