1.1.1.3 DOs on Lockout/Tagout after Shutting Off the Power
A lock-out/tag-out mechanism must be installed for the main circuit breakers that supply power
to the motor and power to the control system. The lock-out/tag-out after power down is a very
effective means to ensure the safety when two or more workers are working on the system at
the same time, as it can prevent possible injury of workers that may be caused by accidental
power-on of the driving source by one of the workers.
If there is a risk of danger, especially during cleaning, maintenance/inspection, or
troubleshooting work, be sure to let the workers perform the lock-out/tag-out procedures after
the motor main power and control power has been shut off.
Because the workers may neglect to perform the lock-out/tag-out procedures or cut-off the
power in the following situations, be sure to instruct them to strictly follow the correct
procedure by clearly identifying the work that require lock-out/tag-out and the reasons why it is
needed.
As it is a cumbersome task for the workers to cut off the motor main power and control
power and use lock-out/tag-out devices before starting the work, they might neglect to do
it.
The workers might determine by themselves that it should be OK just to cut off the motor
main power and control power, and not use any lock-out/tag-out devices.
1.1.1.4 DOs about Personal Protective Gear
Prepare and use protective gear complying with the safety standards of the regulations.
Check the function of each protective gear before using.
Wear designated clothes such as work outfits, with their cuffs tightly closed.
Do not wear any neckties or jewelry as there is a risk of being entangled by a movable part or
rotating part. Put on a helmet as your hair may get entangled.
Do not have anything in your pocket to prevent objects from falling into the machine.
1.1.1.5 DOs about Handling of Hazardous and Toxic Substances
Obtain Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from manufacturers of hazardous and toxic substances.
Check the MSDS and follow the handling instructions recommended by the manufacturers to
handle and store those substances.
1.1.1.6 DOs about Handling Emergency Situations
