General Policy
To avoid dangerous or hazardous situations, refrain from
any of the following:
• Removing or bypassing a guard or other safety device
• Placing any part of your body in a position where you
could be caught by moving machinery.
• Cleaning or oiling machinery when in operation.

• Working on piping or high pressure systems.
Lock Out/Tag Out Instructions -
Electrical Equipment
Be sure the equipment’s ON/OFF switch is in the OFF
position and is unplugged from any electrical source before
attempting to perform any type of work on the equipment.
Obtain an electrical plug cap cover with a lockset. Secure
the plug terminal end using the electrical plug lockout cap.
Lock the cap and retain the key.
If the equipment is directly wired into an electrical box with
a shut off switch, obtain a lock pad and/or the appropriate
colored tags and place the lock and tag through the shut
off lever. Retain the key until the repair is completed and
the machine is safe to start. Be certain the shut off lever
is in the OFF position before restarting. NEVER give a
lock out key to unauthorized personnel.
If the equipment is directly wired into an electrical box
without a shut off switch and lock out capability, then a
circuit breaker lock out will be required. Obtain a circuit
lock and tag set. Install the lock onto the circuit breaker
box. Ensure the unit ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position
before restarting.
Lock Out/Tag Out Instructions -
Pneumatic and Hydraulic Equipment
For servicing pneumatic and hydraulic equipment, the
following additional procedures must be implemented,
following completion of lock out/tag out procedures for
the unit to be serviced:
Shut off air, water or supply valves at the equipment to
be serviced.
Check the local bleed-off point for completed release of
pressurized air, water or oil.
If shutting off of air, water or other material cannot be
achieved at the local supply valve, shut off valves further
back in the system and re-check the bleed-off point until
complete shut-off is achieved.
Affix a DO NOT OPERATE tag to each valve handle that
requires shut off. Each DO NOT OPERATE tag must be
signed and dated by the authorized technician servicing
the equipment.
Lock Out/Tag Out Instructions -
Air Hose Connected Pneumatic Equipment
Equipment connected to the compressed air system
through an air hose with a detachable fitting must be
shutdown and unplugged. Excess air must be bled prior
to removing the air hose, prior to any maintenance or
repair activities.
Affix a DO NOT OPERATE tag to the air hose near the
detachable fitting. Each DO NOT OPERATE tag must be
signed and dated by the authorized technician servicing
the equipment. Check that the equipment cannot be
operated by activating the ON switch.
Stored Energy
Immediately after applying Lock Out or Tag Out devices,
ensure that all potentially hazardous stored or residual
energy is relieved, disconnected, restrained and otherwise
rendered safe.
Verification of Isolation
Verify the machinery or equipment is actually isolated and
de-energized prior to beginning work on a machine or on
equipment that has been locked out.
Restarting Procedures
Follow the procedures below prior to restoring energy:
• Ensure that all machinery or equipment is properly
reassembled. Inspect the machinery or equipment to
verify non-essential items have been removed.
• Ensure that all personnel are safely outside danger
zones. Notify personnel that lock out/tag out devices have
been removed and energy will be reapplied.
• Only authorized personnel may remove lock out/tag out
devices or notices.
Scope
During maintenance, repairs or retooling of a Northern Lights generator set, simply turning the machine off or unplugging
it while it is being worked on does not give enough protection to others who are not performing the maintenance or
repair. Many serious accidents happen when someone thought the machine was turned off, or all of its energy was
safely blocked or released.
