2.10.1
Lockout - Tagout Procedure
During installation, inspection and maintenance, lockout-tagout procedures must be followed in accordance with
local regulations and the documented site lockout-tagout policy. The owner must ensure that the operators are fully
aware of the applicable lockout - tagout practices.
Lockout-tagout procedures are primarily intended to protect personnel by preventing accidental starting or
exposure to electric shocks. Individual locks and tags are placed on controls to prevent their use until the person
who installed the lock or tag removes it.
CAUTION
Never attempt to operate a control, switch, valve or other device when it is
locked out or tagged out.
Items which are normally included in the documented lockout-tagout policy:
Communication requirements: who to inform before using lockout - tagout.
When the use of lockout - tagout is permitted.
Identification of each of the switches, controls, valves and other energy isolating devices present at the
site. The role of each device should also be explained.
The lockout - tagout sequences to be followed before, during and after maintenance.
Safety and operational considerations regarding other products on the same runway or on adjacent
runways.
