Lift Lockout/Tagout Procedure
Purpose
This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the lockout of energy that could
cause injury to personnel by the operation of lifts in need of repair or being serviced. All
employees shall comply with this procedure.
Responsibility
The responsibility for assuring that this procedure is followed is binding upon all employees
and service personnel from outside service companies (i.e., Authorized Installers, contractors,
etc.). All employees shall be instructed in the safety significance of the lockout procedure by
the facility owner/manager. Each new or transferred employee along with visiting outside
service personnel shall be instructed by the owner/manager (or assigned designee) in the
purpose and use of the lockout procedure.
Preparation
Employees authorized to perform lockout shall ensure that the appropriate energy isolating
device (i.e., circuit breaker, fuse, disconnect, etc.) is identified for the lift being locked out.
Other such devices for other equipment may be located in close proximity of the appropriate
energy isolating device. If the identity of the device is in question, see the shop supervisor for
resolution. Assure that proper authorization is received prior to performing the lockout
procedure.
Sequence of Lockout Procedure
1)
Notify all affected employees that a lockout is being performed and the reason for
it.
2)
Unload the subject lift. Shut it down and assure the disconnect switch is “OFF” if
one is provided on the lift.
3)
The authorized lockout person operates the main energy isolation device
removing power to the subject lift.
•
If this is a lockable device, the authorized lockout person places the assigned
padlock on the device to prevent its unintentional reactivation. An appropriate
tag is applied stating the person’s name, at least 3” x 6” in size, an easily
noticeable color, and states not to operate device or remove tag.
•
If this device is a non-lockable circuit breaker or fuse, replace with a “dummy”
device and tag it appropriately as mentioned above.
4)
Attempt to operate lift to assure the lockout is working. Be sure to return any
switches to the “OFF” position.
