Description

Lockout / Tagout Safety Program

Chapter Section

Purpose

The purpose of this program is to establish procedures for affixing appropriate lockout/tagout equipment to energy isolating devices and to otherwise disable machines or equipment to prevent unexpected energization, start up or release of stored energy to prevent injury or incident.

Scope

This program covers the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment where the unexpected energization or startup of the machine or equipment, or the release of stored energy could cause an incident. This program establishes minimum performance requirements for the control of such hazardous energy.   When work is performed on a nonowned or operated site, the operator’s program shall take precedence, however, this document covers YOUR COMPANY NAME employees and contractors and shall be used on owned premises, or when an operator’s program doesn’t exist or is less stringent.
