Lockout/Tagout
Lockout and tagout procedures should be used to safeguard workers from the unexpected startup or release of stored energy during service or maintenance activities like Lubricating Cleaning Unjamming machines and equipment PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 2
Lockout is when a lockout device is applied to equipment and machinery PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 3
Lockout devices hold energy isolating devices in a safe or OFF position They prevent machines or equipment from becoming energized because they are positive restraints that no one can remove without a key or other unlocking mechanism PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 4
Tagout is when a tagout device, like a tag, is applied to equipment and machinery Tags are warning devices that authorized workers fasten to energy isolating devices to warn other workers not to start the machine while it is being serviced or undergoing maintenance PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 5
Tagout devices are easier to remove and provide less protection than lockout devices PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 6
When both lockout and tagout are used, it is known as LOTO PPT-SM-DFWP 2015 7
Companies must make sure workers Understand the purpose and function of the energy control program Are trained in the safe application, use, and removal of LOTO devices PPT-SM-DFWP 2015 8
There are three levels of LOTO training Authorized worker Affected worker Other worker PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 9
Authorized workers lock out and tag out machines or equipment to perform servicing and maintenance PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 10
Affected workers operate and use machines or equipment that is under LOTO They do not perform LOTO or service and maintenance on machines or equipment PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 11
Other workers may be in the area where LOTO procedures are happening They are informed about the LOTO procedures Equipment that is being serviced or undergoing maintenance Locks or tags put into place to prevent the startup of the machine or equipment PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 12
Companies will have their own LOTO policies and procedures OSHA recommends LOTO be performed according to a six-step procedure 1 2 3 4 5 6 PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 13
1. Prepare for shutdown by Getting permission to work on equipment with a JSA or LOTO work permit Gathering all written LOTO procedures Identifying the location of energy isolation devices Getting all equipment needed and information on the type and amount of energy you are working with PPT-SM-DFWP 2015 14
2. Shut down equipment using normal controls 3. Isolate the equipment by turning all energy isolation devices to the OFF or closed position 4. Apply LOTO devices by having the authorized worker put a lock, tag, or both on each energy isolation device PPT-SM-DFWP 2015 15
5. Release all stored energy and set up the machine or equipment so that it cannot collect energy Check the machine or equipment periodically to make sure stored energy is not collecting PPT-SM-DFWP 2015 16
6. Confirm equipment isolation by trying to start up the machine or equipment using normal operating controls Equipment is not isolated if it starts up or if the lights come on Confirm isolation using tools like a voltmeter Do not use tools to confirm isolation if you are not trained and authorized PPT-SM-DFWP 2015 17
Certain procedures must be followed before LOTO devices are removed and energy is restored to the machine or equipment The work area must be inspected to make sure unnecessary items have been removed and machine and equipment parts are in place and working Make sure all workers in the surrounding area are removed or are in a safe position Confirm that the machine or equipment controls are in neutral PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 18
Remove the LOTO devices and notify affected workers that the devices have been removed Re-energize the machine or equipment PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 19
Each LOTO device must be removed from each energy isolating device by the worker who applied the device PPT-SM-LOTO 2015 20
