Hazardous Energy Controls with Lock Out Tag Out Procedures.pptx

Hazardous Energy Control

1. Hazardous Energy Control

2. Hazardous Energy Control Provides the minimum requirements for control of hazardous energy prior to work involving machinery, equipment, and process systems where energization or release of stored energy could result in injury These Requirements cover energy sources including, but not limited to, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, stored (such as gravity, spring, or compressed gas), chemical, thermal, and radiation

3. Requirements Compliance Risk Assessment Energy Control Procedures Lockout Process Tagout Release from Lockout/ Tagout Lock Removal Energy Isolation Devices Linebreaking Permit Training

4. Energy Control Procedures Implement documented procedures for each applicable piece of equipment. Procedures must cover: Shut down and isolation ; Placement and removal of devices; Verifying the effectiveness of lockout/tag-out devices; Equipment-specific procedures . Continuity during shift change; Group lockout/tag-out ; and Linebreaking .

5. Equipment-Specific Control Procedures For each piece of machinery and equipment in which the energization or release of energy could result in injury, document specific procedures for control of hazardous energy Minimum contents: Shut down the machine and the location of the controls Isolate the energy sources and the location of energy isolation devices Relieve any stored or residual energy Place lockout and tagout devices Verify energy isolation Release the machine from lockout or tagout

6. Lockout Process De-energize machinery Stop equipment using normal procedure Isolate each source. Each person must lockout each source of energy. The key(s) must be removed and secured in personal control. Verify isolation of each energy source Return controls to “neutral”, “stop” or “off” positions after the verification. Perform the required work .

8. Tag-out Securely attach “locked out” tag in addition to the lock. Tag-out in lieu of Lockout If an energy-isolating device is not physically capable of being locked out, use tags in place of locks.

9. Tag-out Securely attach “locked out” tag in addition to the lock. Tag-out in lieu of Lockout If an energy-isolating device is not physically capable of being locked out, use tags in place of locks.

10. Release from Lockout/Tag-out When work is complete, re-energize the machine: Inspect the work area. Remove locks. Visually verify that all personnel are clear Re-energize the equipment.

11. Lock Removal No one is authorized to remove another person’s lock . Procedures to remove the lock: The employee’s supervisor verification An attempt to contact the lock owner If this attempt is unsuccessful, notify the lock owner . Evaluate the equipment. Carry out the ‘ Release from Lockout/Tag-out ’ procedures.

12. Energy Isolation Devices Provide durable energy-isolating devices. Locks must: be standardized, have only a single key, be identifiable to the person using it. Tags must have a secure means of attachment

16. Examples of Tags

17. Linebreaking Linebreaking Permit System must be in place. These procedures do not apply where written safe operating procedures are in place Permit authorization Pre-work inspection Information required on permit Attendant required

18. Training Personnel must be adequately trained to perform their roles and responsibilities. Training must include: Documented initial training, Refresher training, Contractor and Visitor Management Requirements.

19. Audit Tips Verify risk survey/assessment is current Review general and equipment-specific SOPs to be sure they are current and comprehensive Check availability of lockout devices and tags Review training records for all affected workers Have all documents and records available If it isn’t on paper it never happened!!!
