Frequently Asked Questions
The goal is to prevent "unexpected startup". It ensures that a machine cannot accidentally turn on or release stored energy (like gravity, steam, or springs) while someone is working on it.
No. Locks must be "identifiable." This means they are usually color-coded or specifically labeled so everyone in the facility knows exactly what that lock represents. You cannot use a lock that you also use for your gym locker or toolbox.
To do it right, follow this sequence:
- Preparation: Identify all energy sources.
- Shutdown: Turn off the machine.
- Isolation: Disconnect the machine from its power source (flip the breaker, close the valve).
- Application: Attach your personal lock and tag.
- Stored Energy Release: Bleed off any leftover pressure or heat.
- Verification: The "Try" step. Attempt to start the machine to confirm it’s truly dead.
Yes. Both the host employer and the outside contractor must inform each other of their respective lockout procedures. Usually, the host's safety rules take precedence to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Yes. Hazardous energy isn't just electricity. It includes:
- Pneumatic: Compressed air.
- Hydraulic: Pressurized liquid.
- Mechanical: Moving parts or tensioned springs.
- Thermal: Extreme heat or steam. All of these must be bled, blocked, or dissipated.
