  5. Introduction • LO/TO accidents are severe • Average lost work days for failure to LO/TO is 24 days per injury • 7% of all fatalities are related to failure to LO/TO

  6. Introduction • Purpose of the Control of Hazardous Energy Program: • If a risk exists to any person on unexpected start up, all protective measures are taken to isolate all sources of hazardous energy.

  7. Application Application of Lockout/Tagout is required: • when servicing and/or maintaining machines or equipment, • if it is necessary to remove a guard or bypass safety device or interlock, • if employee has the potential to be exposed to material being processed or machine cycle.

  8. Application The Lockout/Tagout standard does not apply to: • Cord and Plug Electrical Equipment • plug under exclusive control of employee performing servicing or maintenance • Hot Tap operations..transmission and distribution systems..water,gas, stream or petroleum products • continuity of service essential • shutdown of system is impractical • documented procedures are followed

  9. LO/TO Program • Responsibility of the program is assigned to a responsible person. • lock acquisition • safe work procedures • training coordination • contractor coordination • assist supervisors in implementation and enforcement of disciplinary actions for non-compliance

  10. LO/TO Program • Conduct periodic inspections • Document changes in control program as result of inspections • Assist in development of specific procedures • Maintain program availability for employees and interested persons

  11. LO/TO Program • Any employee who may be involved in the operation, installation, service or maintenance of any machine or equipment that has potential for release of hazardous energy is authorized to Lockout/Tagout if he or she is trained.

  12. LO/TO Program Authorized Employee • Person who locks out or tags out machine • Appendix of the LO/TO Program contains a list of Authorized Employees

  13. LO/TO Program Authorized

  14. LO/TO Program • Affected employees are those employees whose job requires them to operate machine or process on which maintenance or service is being performed. • Need to be notified on shutdown and start up.

  15. Lockouts • Individual Lockout: • Shut down, control off, lockout • Stored energy dissipated, isolated • Operate controls for operation, verify OFF • Work may proceed • If shift changes, individual LO/TO repeated by next shift

  16. Lockouts • Individual restoration to service: • Replace all guards and safety devices • Notify all personnel/affected employees • Vents and bleeders closed, blinds removed, blocks and tags removed • Each employee removes his or her lock

  17. Lockouts • Group Lockout: • Same as individual lockout except • Operations personnel will place keys in lock box…and fill out “Isolation List for Group Lockout” • Operations turns equipment over to Maintenance Department • Maintenance will place their personal lock and complete work • update “Isolation List”

  18. Lockouts • Group restoration to service: • Maintenance - replaces all guards and safety devices • Maintenance - notifies all Personnel/Affected Employees • Vents and bleeders closed, blinds removed, blocks and tags removed • Maintenance and Operations - each employee removes his or her lock

  19. Lockouts • Long Term Safety Lockout: • Extended period of time… discontinued ...not longer part of operation • Long term locks available for use by the responsible person

  20. Training Additional Training for Authorized Persons • When implementation is required. • Recognition of hazardous energies. • Returning equipment to service. • If questions on application specific actions to be taken.

  21. Training Additional training required if . . . • new equipment is introduced • changes in LO/TO equipment • periodic audit identifies need

  22. MCC

  23. Contractors • Exchange of LO/TO procedures • Agreement of procedures before work begins • Discipline of contractor and/or contractor employee(s) for failure to LO/TO
