Sequence of Lockout or Tagout System Procedure
1.
Notify all affected employees that a lockout or tagout system is going to be utilized and
the reason therefore. The authorized employee shall know the type and magnitude of
energy that the machine or equipment utilizes and shall understand the hazards thereof.
2.
If the machine or equipment is operating, shut it down by the normal stopping procedure
(depress stop button, open toggle switch, etc.).
3.
Operate the switch, valve, or other energy isolating device(s) so that the equipment is
isolated from its energy source(s). Stored energy (such as that in springs, elevated
machine members, rotating flywheels, hydraulic systems, and air, gas, steam or water
pressure, etc.) must be dissipated or restrained by methods such as repositioning,
blocking, bleeding down, etc. (Type(s) of stored energy methods to dissipate or
restrain).
4.
Lockout and/or tagout the energy isolating devices with assigned individual lock(s) or
tag(s) (Method(s) selected, i.e., locks, tags, additional safety measures, etc.)
5.
After ensuring that no personnel are exposed, and as a check on having disconnected
the energy sources, operate the push button or other normal operating controls to make
certain the equipment will not operate (Type(s) of equipment checked to ensure
disconnections).
CAUTION
Return operating control(s) to neutral or off position after the test.
6.
The equipment is now locked or tagged out.

Therefore, in the event of a spill, we recommend immediately contacting your chemical
provider for specific chemical spill recommendations and environmental regulatory
