Lockout and Tagout Recommendations
Electrical System
(See OSHA 1910.147 & OSHA 1910.333 (b)(2) for exception to procedures)
To avoid hazards of electrical shock or other personal injuries, the main power disconnect
for the system and any other separate sources of power for the system shall be locked out
& tagged as a safety precaution during entry and maintenance to the system.
To accomplish this, set the Main Power Disconnect operating handle to the "OFF" posi-
tion and install a personal locking device through the padlock hole on the operating han-
dle. Attach a Danger tag to the handle containing a statement prohibiting unauthorized
operation of the disconnect and removal of the tag signed by the individual responsible for
locking out the system. If several personnel are performing maintenance, each individual
shall install a lockout device and tag.
A qualified person shall verify that the equipment is de-energized by:
1. Operating controls to verify equipment cannot be restarted.
2. Using test equipment to test circuits and electrical parts that will be exposed to person-
nel.
Stored electric energy that might endanger personnel shall be released by discharging the
circuits. Check appropriate equipment manuals on exact procedures.
To re-energize equipment, a qualified person shall conduct tests and visual inspections, as
necessary, to verify that all tools, electrical jumpers, shorts, grounds, and other such
devices have been removed, so that equipment can be safely energized. Personnel exposed
to the hazards associated with re-energizing equipment shall be warned to stay clear of
equipment. Each lock and tag shall be removed by the person who applied it or under their
direct supervision. A visual determination that all personnel are clear of the equipment
shall be accomplished before the operating handle on each Main Power Disconnect is
placed to the "ON'' position.
