Safety Warnings
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT Procedures
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (
OSHA
)
requires, in addition to posting safety warnings and barricading
the work area (including, but not limited to, trucking office and
loading docks), that the power supply has been locked in the
OFF position or disconnected. It is mandatory that an approved
lockout device is utilized. An example of a lockout device is
illustrated. The proper lockout procedure requires that the
person responsible for the repairs is the only person who has
the ability to remove the lockout device.
In addition to the lockout device, it is also a requirement to tag
the power control in a manner that will clearly note that repairs
are underway and state who is responsible for the lockout
condition. Tagout devices have to be constructed and printed
so that exposure to weather conditions, or wet and damp
locations, will not cause the tag to deteriorate or become
unreadable.
RITE-HITE
does not recommend any particular lockout device,
but recommends the utilization of an
OSHA
approved device
(refer to
OSHA
regulation 1910.147).
RITE-HITE
also
recommends the review and implementation of an entire safety
program for the Control of Hazardous Energy (LOCKOUT/
TAGOUT). These regulations are available through
OSHA
publication 3120.
