Control of Hazardous Energies Powerpoint

This document discusses hazardous energy and lockout/tagout procedures. It defines hazardous energy as unexpected energy releases from machines during maintenance that can injure workers, such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic energy. Lockout/tagout procedures involve shutting off energy sources, applying locks or tags to isolation points, releasing stored energy, and verifying isolation before servicing to prevent injuries. The document outlines lockout/tagout training, procedures, inspections, lock and tag requirements, and proper lockout/tagout steps to safely control hazardous energy when servicing equipment.

What is hazardous
energy?
Energy sources in machines and equipment
that can be hazardous to workers. During
the servicing and maintenance of
machines and equipment, the
unexpected startup or release of stored
energy can result in serious injury or
death to workers.
Energy sources include:
Electrical
Pneumatic
Hydraulic
Mechanical
Thermal
Chemical
Force of gravity
And Other energy sources

What are the harmful


effects of hazardous energy?
-Workers servicing or maintaining

machines or equipment may be


seriously injured or killed if
hazardous energy is not properly
controlled.
- Injuries resulting from the failure
to control hazardous energy
during maintenance activities can
be serious or fatal!

Injuries may include:


Electrocution
Burns
Crushing
Cutting
Lacerating
Amputating
fracturing body parts
others

What can be done to


control hazardous energy?
Proper lockout/tagout (LOTO)

practices and procedures


safeguard workers from
hazardous energy releases

What is lockout/tagout
-is a set a safety procedures

designed to reduce the risk of


injuries due to accidental
activation of machinery or
energizing of electrical system
during servicing, maintenance or
repair.
-is required to ensure that
before employee performs any
servicing, maintenance or repair
on a machine or equipment where
the unexpected energizing, start
up or reuse of stored energy that
could occur and cause injuries.

Training of lockout/tagout

Techniques

Lockout/tagout
procedures
A specific statement of the

intended use of the procedure


Written specific steps for isolation,
blocking and shutting down the
machine or equipment
Specific procedural steps for the
placement, removal and transfer
of lockout/tagout devices and the
responsibility for them.
Specific requirements for testing a
machine or equipment for
determine the effectiveness of the
lockout device, tagout device and
other energy control measure.

3 type of employee and


training

Authorize employee

are trained to know how machine are powered

and the procedures necessary to lockout/tagout


the machine or equipment
Must know how to recognize hazardous energy
sources and what type and amount of energy they
contained.
They must know how to isolate and control that
energy source to prevent accidents
Only authorized employee is allowed to
disconnect the equipment being service or
maintain from the power source or services using
either logout or tag out or both methods.

Affected employee
An employee whose job requires him/her to
operate or use a machine or equipment on which
servicing or maintenance is being perform under
lockout/tagout on whos job requires him or her to
work in an area which services on maintain is
being performed.
They must know the purpose and procedures for
energy control to fully understand the importance
of not using the machine that is lockout/tagout.

Other emplooyees
Employees whos work in an
areas where energy control are
used but not part of the process
It is important for them to
understand lockout/tagout rules
and to not attempt reenergised
machines that are lockout/tagout
They are also learn the limitation
of the tagout devices
It is important that all employees
follow of the central rules(room
should shut the equipment that is
lockout/tagout)

Retraining
Job assignments change
Machine change
Equipment on process creates

new hazards
Energy control procedures
change

What to do during
inspection
The employer on authorized employee

checks to see if all employee are


following the lockout/tagout procedure
The inspector reviews lockout
responsibilities with all authorized
employees
Inspections help find and correct
problems and keep employees safe
Inspection documentation should
identify the machine on which the
energy control procedure was
inspected, the date of the inspection,
employees included in the inspection
and the person performing the
inspection.

Standards for locks and


tags
Criteria for locks
Locks can be either keyed or combination
Locks cannot be used for any other
purpose
Locks must be durable enough for the
heat, cold, humidity or corrosiveness or
the environment in which they will be
used.
Every lock used for the lockout procedure
must be standardized within the facility in
at least one of the following criterial: color,
size, shape.
Locks must be strong enough that they
cannot be removed without heavy force or
tools like bolt cutters
Each lock must identify the name of the
employee who installs it

Requirements for a tagout


Each tag must have the same

print and format throughout the


facility.
The tags must be easy to read
and understand even if used in
corrosive, dirty, or damp areas.
Tags must be tough enough that
they cannot be removed easily.

4. A nylone cable must be used to


attach each tag.
The cable cannot be reusable.
It must be able to be attached by

hand
The cable must be self-locking.
It must be able to withstand 50lbs
of pressure before release.

5. Tagout devices should include a


legend such as:
Do not Start
Do Not Open
Do Not Close
Do Not Energize
Do Not Operate

6. The installers name must be


located on the front of the tag.

Proper procedures for


lockout/tagout
Six step procedure for hazardous
energy control
1. Preparation for shutdown.
Before shutting down the
machine or equipment an
authorized Employee Needs to
know
The type and amount of energy
The hazards of the energy
The method and means to control
it

2. Equipment shutdown.
The machine will gently
Shutdown according to
procedures required by the
manufacturer to avoid increase
hazards to employees as a result
of incorrect shutdown.
3. Machine or equipment isolation.
All the energy that the machine
utilizes will be located and
isolated from their sources.

4. Application of lockout/tagout
device.
Lockout/tagout device then can
be placed by the authorized
employee.
Lockout device - should be lock
the energy isolation device in a
safe or off position.
Tagout device - If not capable of
lockout then the use of tag is
required.

5. Release stored energy.


The stored energy must be
released, disconnected,
restrained or rendered safe.
6. Verification of isolation.

Steps for removing locks and tags


Clean out tools or materials in the
machine.
Make sure all employees are a
safe distance away.
Notify all affected employees that
the machine is being activated.

Absent Authorizes employee


procedure
The employer needs to verify that
the employee is absent from the
facility.
Reasonable efforts to contact the
employee about the
lockout/tagout removal need to be
made.
The absent employee will need to
be informed that their
lockout/tagout device was
removed before they return to
work
