2.5.3
Lockout-tagout-tryout procedure
Before installation, inspection, and maintenance, the power sources must be de-energized,
isolated, locked out, and tagged out. Lockout-tagout-tryout procedures are primarily intended to
protect the personnel. The procedures prevent accidental starting of the machinery or exposure
to electric shocks.
Follow the lockout-tagout-tryout procedures in accordance with the local regulations and the
documented site lockout-tagout-tryout procedure. The owner must ensure that the operators are
fully aware of the applicable lockout-tagout-tryout procedures.
The following items are normally included in the documented lockout-tagout-tryout procedure:
• Communication requirements - who to inform before using lockout-tagout-tryout procedure
• When the use of lockout-tagout-tryout procedures is permitted
• Identification of each of the switches, controls, valves, and other energy isolating devices
present at the site. Role of each device should also be explained.
• Lockout-tagout-tryout procedure sequences that are to be followed before, during, and after
maintenance
• Safety and operational considerations regarding other products on the same runway or on
adjacent runways.
WARNING! STORED ENERGY HAZARD
When the equipment is switched off, there may still be stored energy in the electrical
rotating parts, linearly moving parts, or in the load. Unintended release of energy could
cause death, severe injury, or property damage.
Prevent the unintended release of energy by following the approved lockout-tagout-
tryout procedures.
WARNING! MACHINE MALFUNCTION HAZARD
Operating the product while it is under installation or maintenance could lead to death,
severe injury, or property damage.
Never attempt to operate a control, switch, valve, or other device when it is locked out
or tagged out.
To lock out, tag out, and try out the equipment:
1.
Turn off the equipment and disconnect power.
2.
Place a personal lock and tag on controls to prevent their use until you remove the lock.
3.
While performing the work, always keep the key to the lock with you.
4.
If more than one person locks out the same machine, use individual locks and approved
multi-lock devices.
5.
Verify the absence of voltage with an approved voltage test equipment.
6.
Verify the isolation of other forms of energy with an approved method.
7.
Attempt to operate the machine or equipment using normal controls. If properly isolated or
immobilized, no equipment or system starts nor any part activates or moves.
8.
Release energy that may cause danger during the work in a safe way.
9.
After completing the work, remove all locks and tags.
