1 Lockout/Tagout Program Control of Hazardous Energy Subpart J - 29 CFR CFR

2 OSHA Standard All industries must comply Estimated to prevent Approximately 120 fatalities per year 28,000 serious injuries 32,000 minor injuries

3 LO/TO Accidents are Severe Average lost work days for failure to LO/TO is 24 days per injury 7% of all fatalities are related to failure to LO/TO

4 PURPOSE To prevent unexpected energization or start- up of equipment and machinery, or release of stored energy, that could cause injury to employees.

5 Policy It is the general policy of the Company to work on equipment only when it is properly de-energized, energized, isolated, locked out / tagged out, and verified; with all sources of hazardous energy relieved or restrained. In certain instances in NEW, work may be required on energized electrical circuits. Only trained individuals are allowed to s perform these tasks.

6 Scope Service and Maintenance of machinery Remove or bypass a guard Employee is required to place any part of body in exposure area. Does not cover normal, routine production issues.

7 OSHA Exception On LO/TO Minor tool changes, adjustments or other minor servicing activities, which take place during normal production operations if they are routine, repetitive, and integral to the use of the equipment for production provided alternative protective measures are taken.

8 Exclusions The LO/TO Standard does not apply to Cord and Plug Electric Equipment plug under exclusive control of of employee performing servicing or maintenance

9 Exclusions, continued The LO/TO Standard does not apply to Hot Tap operations..transmission and distribution systems..water,gas, steam or petroleum products continuity of service essential shutdown of system is impractical documented procedures are followed

10 LOTO Management System Hazard Identification Hazard Evaluation/Assessment Lockout/Tagout Requirements Written Energy Control Procedures Employee Training Program Evaluation

11 Hazard Identification Multidisciplinary involvement Involve appropriate crafts Involve management as well as employees Thorough

12 Program Responsibility Responsibility of the program is assigned to a responsible person Lock/tag determination Hazard assessment/control procedures training coordination contractor coordination assist supervisors in implementation and enforcement of disciplinary actions for non- compliance

13 Program Responsibility, continued Conduct periodic inspections Document changes in control program as result of inspections Assist in development of specific procedures Maintain program availability for employees and interested persons

14 Application Application of Lockout/Tagout is required... when servicing and/or maintaining machines or equipment if it is necessary to remove a guard or bypass safety device or interlock if employee has the potential to be exposed to material being processed or machine cycle

15 LO/TO Always Required: Any machine or equipment that has potential for release of hazardous energy must be Locked Out/Tagged Out before service or maintenance is performed.

16 LO/TO Rules: The LO/TO written energy control procedure contains specific rules for applying, transferring, and releasing LO/TO. All Affected and Authorized employees must be trained in the written procedure prior to exposure, and annually thereafter.

17 Affected vs. Authorized Affected Employee: An employee whose job requires him/her to operate or use a machine or equipment on which servicing or maintenance is being performed under lockout or tagout, or whose job requires him/her to work in an area in which such servicing or maintenance is being performed. Authorized Employee: An employee who is trained and authorized by management to request, issue, place, transfer, verify, work under, or remove a Safe Work Permit. All authorized employees must be specifically identified by name on a Safe Work Permit.

18 Authorized Employee Person who locks out or tags out machine Appendix of the LO/TO Program contains a list of Authorized Employees

19 Affected Employee Employees whose job requires them to operate machine or process on which maintenance or servicing is performed Need to be notified on shutdown and start up

20 Following are examples of lockout/tagout application:

21 Authorized Lockout Devices

22 Tag Center

23 Correct application of a lockout device. The employee, who placed the device is identified on the tag. Application

24 Correct application of a lockout device. The lock is used to ensure that an electrical switch is deenergized. Application

25 Correct application of a lockout device. The lock is used to ensure that an electrical switch is deenergized. Application

26 Correct application of a lockout device. The lock is used to ensure that a gas valve is deenergized. Application

27 Correct application of a lockout device. The lock is used to ensure that a gas valve is deenergized. Application

28 Application Lockout point identified.

29 Hubbell switch. Application

30 Application Breaker LO device. Where there is no means to attach an actual lock, a tag must be used

31 Individual Lockout Shut down, control off, lockout Stored energy dissipated, isolated Operate controls for operation, verify OFF Work may proceed If shift changes, individual LO/TO repeated by next shift

32 Restoring Equipment to Service Replace all guards and safety devices Notify all personnel/affected employees Vents and bleeders closed, blinds removed, blocks and tags removed Each employee removes his or her lock

33 Unauthorized Removal Consequences of unauthorized removal Only Authorized Persons can remove personal locks/tags Authorized Person Department

34 All Employees - Annual Training Includes... purpose of LO/TO program recognition of hazardous energy sources LO/TO devices and plant specifics rules and consequences of failure to LO/TO

35 Training Authorized Persons Additional Training for Authorized Persons: when implementation is required recognition of hazardous energies returning equipment to service If questions on application-specific actions to be taken

36 Training Authorized Persons, continued Additional training required if... new equipment is introduced changes in LO/TO equipment periodic audit identifies need

37 Contractors Contractors to follow plant LO/TO procedures Contractors will work under LO/TO of an authorized plant employee Discipline of contractor and/or contractor employee(s) for failure to LO/TO
