LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES
Lockout/Tagout is the placement of a lock/tag on an energy isolating device in
accordance with an established procedure. When taking equipment out of service to
perform maintenance or repair work, always follow the lockout/tagout procedures as
outlined in ANSI Z344.1 and/or OSHA Standard 1910.147. This standard “requires
employers to establish a program and utilize procedures for affixing appropriate
lockout devices or tagout devices to energy isolating devices and to otherwise disable
machines or equipment to prevent unexpected energizing, start-up, or release of
stored energy in order to prevent injury to employees.”
EMERGENCY STOP
There is an Emergency Stop push button on the Seed Conditioner
located on the Main Control Panel. Actuators of emergency stop
shall be colored RED. The background immediately around the device
actuator shall be colored YELLOW. The actuator pushbutton operated
device shall be of the palm or mushroom head type.
HAZARD REVIEW
Electrocution Hazard
Electrocution accidents are most likely to occur during
maintenance of the electrical system or when working on or
near exposed high voltage wiring. This hazard does not exist
when the electrical power has been disconnected, properly
locked, and tagged out.
Automatic Start Hazard
This equipment may be controlled by an automated system and
may start without warning. Failure to properly disconnect, lockout,
and tagout all energy sources of remotely controlled equipment
creates a very hazardous situation and could cause injury or
even death. PLEASE STAY CLEAR AND BE ALERT.
