SAFETY
2-7. Lockout/Tagout
Some maintenance or service procedures may require lockout / tagout (LOTO) to protect service personnel from
injury from an accidental vehicle start-up or energizing the electrical system.
OSHA lockout/tagout standard 29 CFR 1910.147 covers the servicing and maintenance of machines and
equipment. The unexpected energizing or start up of the machines or equipment, or release of stored energy, could
harm employees. This standard establishes minimum performance requirements for the control of such hazards.
Employers should create procedures to prevent vehicle start-up, energizing, or the release of stored energy, during
servicing. These procedures should use lockout or tagout devices.
LOTO procedures shall be clear and specifically outline the scope, purpose, authorization, rules, and techniques for
the control of hazardous energy. They should include the means to enforce compliance. This should include, but not
be limited to, the following:
•
A specific statement of the procedure and its use.
• Specific steps for shutting down, isolating, blocking and securing machines or equipment to control hazardous
energy.
• Specific steps for the placement, removal and transfer of lockout devices or tagout devices and the responsibility
for them.
• Specific requirements for testing a machine or equipment to determine and verify the effectiveness of lockout
devices, tagout devices, and other energy control measures.
2-8. Safety Defect Reporting
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could cause serious injury or death, it should
be reported immediately to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and to Pierce
Manufacturing Inc. If NHTSA receives a number of similar complaints, it may open an investigation. If the
investigation reveals a latent safety defect, NHTSA may order a recall and remedy campaign. NHTSA will not
become involved in individual complaints between customers, dealers, and manufacturers.
To contact NHTSA, call the Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 or write to NHTSA, U.S. Department of
Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590.
Stored Energy or Start-Up Hazard.
Follow OSHA lockout/tagout standard 29 CFR 1910.147 before:
•
Maintaining or servicing.
• Working in, on, under or around vehicle equipment.
Failure to comply may result in serious injury or death.
