This training reviews some of the key elements of lockout /
tagout that are necessary for all employees to understand
whether the employee is authorized, affected or works in an
area where energy control procedures may be utilized

6. Purpose of Training: You will know after this Training
Upon completion of this seminar, attendees will have the
necessary tools to be able to recognize:
1. Potential hazards,
2. Analyze and control hazards,
3. Develop safe work practices,
4. Establish a basic lockout/tag out program.
5. Be aware of different types of energy.
6. Recognize energy sources in the workplace.

7. The following topics will be addressed:
•OSHA Standard 1910.147 “The Control of Hazardous
Energy”.
•Authorized Employee
•Affected Employee
•Safe Work Practices
•Elements of an effective program
•Resource Materials

8. The following topics will be addressed:
• NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace which outlines best
practices for controlling hazardous electrical energy with LOTO.
• It is an industry consensus standard not
generally enforced by OSHA but
following their recommendations will
keep you in compliance with OSHA
regulations.

9. What is LOTO?
• Lock out ,tagout is a process of blocking the flow of energy from
source by installing lock device or padlock with accomplished by
placing tags on lock.
(electrical mechanical, hydraulic, chemical, etc.)
• OSHA estimates that failure to control hazardous energy
could account for nearly 10% of serious accidents in the workplace.
• Every year hundreds of people are injured or killed when the
equipment they are working on accidentally turns on.

11. LOTO Program
• Before establishing LOTO procedures, identify every electrical source (and
potential source); this will be there the lock or tag is affixed.
• Lockout/tagout procedures will vary from
situation to situation, but typically include:
• Notification of maintenance
• Identification of energy sources
• Removal of hazardous energy
• Attach lock or tag (each employee is responsible for their own lock or tag)
•It can save lives.

12. Hazardous Energy Sources
• Electrical
• Mechanical
• Pneumatic (involving gases, especially air)
• Hydraulic (involving fluids)
• Chemical
• Thermal
• Water under pressure (steam)
• Gravity
• Potential energy (stored energy)

13. Energy Control Procedures:
•Employee training & Periodic inspections

14. Energy Control Procedures Cont’d
• Employers must detail and document the specific information that
an authorized employee must know to accomplish lockout/tag out, e.g.
The scope,
Purpose,
Authorization rules
Techniques to be utilized for the control of hazardous energy.
Verify that the system is drained and drain valve is open

15. LOTO Step by Step
1- Work Request You should be able to tell from your work request if a
lockout/tag out will be necessary.
2- Begin a Lockout/Tag out Log Lockout/Tag out Logs are available at each facility.
3- Gather necessary equipment Every person has a lock assigned to them for
locking out equipment.

16. LOTO Step by Step Cont’d
4- Notify affected employees Tell co-workers and other people
who are effected by the shutdown of equipment that you are
beginning a lockout/tag out.
5- Prepare the equipment for shutdown
6- Isolate energy sources

17. LOTO Step by Step cont’d
7- Place the lock and tag Equipment that can receive a lock, must be locked out.
Tags are not substitutes for locks.
8- Test and make sure the equipment you are working on is not energized.
9- Complete repairs or maintenance and remove the
lockout/tagout

18. LOTO Step by Step cont’d
10- Re-energize and test the equipment
11- Remove tools and equipment from the work area.
12- Notify affected employees: lockout/tag out know that it has been
completed and removed
13- Complete the Lockout/Tagout Log

21. What is Isolation?
• To remove energy either mechanical or electrical e.g. blinding or
disconnection
• To separate energy either electrical or mechanical
• Push buttons , e-stops, selector switches and control panels are not
considered proper point of energy isolation

22. POSITIVE ISOLATION
Type of Isolation Philosophy:
1.Positive isolation by insertion of a spade,
spectacle blind or removal of a spool piece.
2.Valved isolation by closure of in-line valves.

23. POSITIVE ISOLATION Cont’d
Positive Isolation:
• Isolation of plant for maintenance will be
by positive isolation and/or valve isolation ie:
• Positive Isolation, where an absolute guarantee of segregation (i.e. no leakage)
is required between the isolated section and the surrounding plant.
• Installing the Blind on the pipe ends.
• It is usually achieved by physically disconnecting a portion of pipe
from the next one.

24. After Completion
Restoring Energy:
• The work area must be inspected to ensure that items, such as tools
are removed from around the equipment and that all parts of the
equipment are replaced including guards and safety devices.
• All employees have been removed or
safely positioned from the area.

25. After Completion Cont’d
Restoring Energy:
• Affected employees are notified that the lockout or
tag out devices have been removed.
• Affected employees must not attempt to restart or
reenergize machines or equipment that are locked/tagged out
• Close the work permit and informed all concerned personnel

26. QUIZ
Choose the correct answer.
A tagout device must-
A. Warn employees with instruction such as “Do Not Start,” “Do Not Open,” “Do Not Close,” “Do
Not Energize,” or “Do Not Operate.”
B. Be labeled to identify employees authorized to apply and remove it.
C. Be durable enough to withstand workplace conditions.
D. Be substantial enough to minimize likelihood of premature or accidental removal.
E. Have all the above characteristics..

27. QUIZ
Choose the correct answer.
Who is an “authorized employee” in a lockout/tagout program?
A. The employee responsible for executing energy control procedures
B. The employee that locks out or tags out a machine in order to improve, clean, or service it
C. Both a and b..
D. The employee that locks the doors after work
Authorized employees are workers responsible for executing energy control
procedures, or those who lock- or tagout a machine to ready it for
maintenance and servicing operations.

28. QUIZ
True or False.
Locks are the only approved means for locking out a machine.
A. True
B. False..
Explanation:
• Locks, chains, wedges, key blocks, adapter pins, self-locking fasteners, or
other hardware can be used to isolate, secure or block machines or
equipment from energy sources.

29. QUIZ
Choose the correct answer.
Before implementing energy control procedures or performing
maintenance and/or servicing operations, you should know…
A. The sources of hazardous energy
B. The magnitude and type of hazardous energy sources at the workplace
C. The procedures that control hazardous energy
D. All of the above..

30. QUIZ
True or False.
All workplaces need to have a written lockout/tagout program
in place.
A.True
B.False..
Explanation:
Only workplaces where employees are
engaged in maintenance or repair work need a written
lockout/tagout program.

31. QUIZ
Choose the correct answer.
In case the servicing and/or maintenance is performed by a group of
employees,
who is responsible for executing the tagout/lockout procedure?
A. A single authorized employee
B. Each employee working on the machine..
C. The employer
D. A designated employee chosen by vote

32. QUIZ
Explanation:
• When more than one worker is carrying out servicing and/or maintenance work, a Group
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedure is required for each machine.
• The idea of the lockout/tagout is to give individuals personal control over the equipment energy
sources.
• Each individual applies and removes a LOTO device to/from a group lockout device, the group
lockbox.
• While every worker in a group attaches the LOTO to
the machine that s(he) is servicing, a single authorized
employee must take the overall responsibility to
implement, coordinate, and communicate to all affected

33. QUIZ
Choose the correct answer.
Who may remove the lock from the machine?
A.An affected employee
B.The security manager
C.The person who closed the lock..
D.The employee who sees the person close the lock

34. QUIZ
Explanation:
According to OSHA, Standard No. “Each lockout or
tagout device shall be removed from each energy
isolating device by the employee who applied the device.
Exception When the authorized employee who applied the lockout or tagout
device is not available to remove it,
that device may be removed under the direction of the employer, provided that
specific procedures and training for such removal have been developed,
documented and incorporated into the employers energy control program.”
