Lockout / Tagout
Energy Control
Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ is committed to providing a safe and healthful work environment for its entire staff. In pursuit of this endeavor, a Lockout/Tagout Program has been developed to establish a safe operating procedure for employees and contractors performing service on energized equipment.
The energy control (Lockout/Tagout) program covers all servicing, maintenance, repair, modification, replacement, cleaning, or inspection of machines, equipment, and processes where the unexpected energizing or start-up of machines, equipment, processes, or the release of stored energy represents a hazard to the individual performing the service. This program establishes the requirements for isolation of kinetic, potential, electrical, chemical, thermal, hydraulic, and pneumatic energy prior to equipment repair, adjustment or removal.
