  7. LOTO Exceptions • Work where hazardous energy does not exist • Activities performed during routine production processes • Work on cord or plug connected electrical equipment where it is controlled by the employee

  8. Typical LOTO Procedures • Performing a shutdown, include testing machinery • Isolating equipment • Applying and removing lockout devices • Safely releasing stored energy

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

  10. Authorized Employee • Recognizes hazardous energy • Types and magnitude of energy in the workplace • Means to isolate those types of energy

  11. 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 “Danger—Do Not Operate” tag on equipment

  12. 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
