LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
requires that, in addition to posting safety warnings and
barricading the work area, the power supply has been
locked in the OFF position or disconnected. It is
mandatory that an approved lockout device is utilized. An
example of a lockout device is illustrated. The proper
lockout procedure requires that the person responsible
for the repairs is the only person who has the ability to
remove the lockout device.
In addition to the lockout device, it is also a requirement
to tag the power control in a manner that will clearly note
that repairs are under way and state who is responsible
for the lockout condition. Tagout devices have to be
constructed and printed so that exposure to weather
conditions or wet and damp locations will not cause the
tag to deteriorate or become unreadable.
RITE-HITE Corporation does not recommend any
particular lockout device, but
recommends the utilization of
an OSHA approved device
(refer to OSHA regulation
1910.147). RITE-HITE
Corporation also recommends
the review and implementation
of an entire safety program for
the Control of Hazardous
Energy (Lockout/Tagout).
These regulations are available
through OSHA publication
3120.

GENERAL SAFETY NOTICES
When working with electrical or electronic controls, make sure
that the power source has been locked out and tagged according
to OSHA regulations and approved local electrical codes.
DANGER
!
Damage or debris may fall into electrical components causing
failure or severe equipment damage, when drilling holes in the
box.
DO NOT turn control box upside down or go too deeply into the
box.
NOTICE
Make sure to barricade the door opening on both sides to prevent
unauthorized use until the door has been completely installed.
WARNING
!
In freezer and cooler applications where a conduit passes from a
warm to cold temperature zone, the conduit must be plugged with
epoxy. This will help prevent condensation from forming in the
conduit. For more information, see Section 300-7a of the National
Electric Code.
NOTICE
Do not drill holes on top of control box to run conduit, as dust
particles and moisture may cause damage to electrical
components. The safest location is at the bottom. Failure to do so
will void warranty.
NOTICE
A qualified electrician should install the wiring in accordance with
local and national electrical codes.
Use lockout and tagout procedures to avoid injury.
DANGER
!
To reduce risk of injury or death, an earth ground connection
MUST BE made to the green/yellow control box ground
terminal. If metal conduit is used as the ground connector, an
N.E.C. approved ground bushing and green/yellow wire MUST
BE properly attached to the conduit for connection to the
ground terminal.
