Preparation
Employees authorized to perform lockout shall ensure that the appropriate energy isolating device
(i.e., circuit breaker, fuse, disconnect, etc.) is identified for the lift being locked out. Other such devices
for other equipment may be located in close proximity of the appropriate energy isolating device. If the
identity of the device is in question, see the shop supervisor for resolution. Assure that proper
authorization is received prior to performing the lockout procedure.
Sequence of Lockout Procedure
1) Notify all affected employees that a lockout is being performed and the reason for it.
2) Unload the subject lift. Shut it down and assure the disconnect switch is “OFF” if one is
provided on the lift.
3) The authorized lockout person operates the main energy isolation device removing power to
the subject lift.
If this is a lockable device, the authorized lockout person places the assigned padlock
on the device to prevent its unintentional reactivation. An appropriate tag is applied
stating the person’s name, at least 3” x 6” in size, an easily noticeably color, and states
not to operate device or remove tag.
If this device is a non-lockable circuit breaker or fuse, replace with a “dummy” device
and tag it appropriately as mentioned above.
4) Attempt to operate lift to assure the lockout is working. Be sure to return any switches to the
“OFF” position.
5) The equipment is now locked out and ready for the required maintenance or service.
Restoring Equipment to Service
1) Assure the work on the lift is complete and the area is clear of tools, vehicles, and
personnel.
2) At this point, the authorized person can remove the lock (or dummy circuit breaker or fuse)
& tag and activate the energy isolating device so that the lift may again be placed into
operation.
Rules for Using Lockout Procedure
Use the Lockout Procedure whenever the lift is being repaired or serviced, waiting for repair when
current operation could cause possible injury to personnel, or for any other situation when
unintentional operation could injure personnel. No attempt shall be made to operate the lift when the
energy isolating device is locked out.
Operating Conditions
Lift is not intended for outdoor use and has an operating ambient temperature range
of 41º-104ºF (5º-40ºC).
