Lockout - Tagout Control Of Hazardous Energy
You Will Learn… • Purpose of lockout-tagout • Requirements for LOTO • Types of hazardous energy • Procedures for LOTO
Regulations • 56.12016 – Work on electrically powered equipment • 56.12017 – Work on power circuits • 56.14105 – Procedures during repairs or maintenance • 56.14211 – Blocking equipment in a raised position
This Happens Often Employee accidentally leaned on the start switch & turned on the machine himself...
Lockout • Prevents release of hazardous energy • Lock placed on appropriate energy isolating device that is in the off or closed position
Tagout • Identifies problem • Identifies lockout date • Identifies person • Used by itself only when cannot be locked out
Lockout/Tagout Use • Repaired • Serviced • Lubricated • Cleaned • Un-jammed • Adjusted • Maintained • Guard removed
Causes Of Injury • Failure to stop equipment • Failure to disconnect from power source • Failure to bleed energy • Accidental restarting of equipment • Failure to clear work areas before restarting
Some Types of Energy • Electrical • Mechanical • Chemical • Thermal • Hydraulic • Pneumatic
Mechanical Energy • Kinetic - machinery in motion • Gears • Belts • Potential - stored energy • Weights (gravity) & springs • Pistons under pressure • Hydraulic controls
LOTO Procedure • Prepare for shutdown • Shutdown equipment • Isolate all energy sources • Apply locks & tags • Verify isolation • Control stored energy • Prepare for Startup
1. Prepare • Plan your work & locate instructions • Understand equipment hazards • Notify others of shutdown
2. Shutdown • Normal shutdown procedure • Turn all switches to OFF • Shut all control valves
3. Isolate Sources • Disable all energy sources • Shut valves • Open breakers & disconnects
4. Apply Locks • Valves • Breaker & electrical disconnects • Block or disconnect all lines

Use of Locks • Use only locks issued to you – lock all energy isolation gear • Never use another workers lock or tag • Tell supervisor if you need more LOTO equipment
5. Verification • Prior to servicing or maintenance, authorized employee must verify that equipment is isolated by turning it on
6. Control Stored Energy • Block or release springs or other tension • Block elevated parts • Stop rotating flywheels • Relieve system pressure • Drain fluids • Vent gases
7. Prepare for Startup • Put all guards back • Remove tools • Inform others of startup • Restore system connections • Remove locks & tags • Restore equipment to normal • Conduct normal startup
Who Can Remove Locks & Tags? • Only the employee who placed the lock and/or tag • A supervisor, after obtaining permission from the worker who placed the tag
Question • Equipment already has a lock and tag on it. Do I have to place my own locks & tags? YES. everyone working on equipment must place their own locks and tags
Contractors • All contractor employees must follow plant LOTO procedures!
Why Workers Don’t Lockout • Performed or witnessed someone doing work without lockout • Disconnecting device too far away or not convenient • Worker alone and felt no need to lockout • Not wanting to stop production
In order to properly block or secure any piece of mobile equipment, you must block or pin all articulation joints. Failure to properly secure articulation could result in vehicle movement when it is blocked in the raised position.
Think First • Jaw crusher turned off… • No locks in sight… • Yellow hat is a man inside...
LOTO Protects You • Use proper lockout - tagout procedures • Please be careful when working on equipment
