MICET
6.1 Introduction - Lockout

Lockout is a technique used to prevent
the release of hazardous energy, or to
prevent the hazardous energy from
escaping.
A padlock is placed on the appropriate

energy isolating device that is in the off
position.
MICET
Tag Out
An approved warning
tag will accompany all
lockouts.
The warning tag will
be attached directly
to the lockout device
by a nylon tie.
MICET
6.2 The Important - Objectives

The Lock Out/Tag Out
procedure prevents the
unexpected start up or
release of stored energy
that could cause injury to
employees by placing a
lock and/or warning tag
on an energy isolation
device.
MICET
The Fatal Five Main Causes of

Lockout/Tagout Injuries
Failure to stop equipment
Failure to disconnect from power
source
Failure to dissipate (bleed,
neutralize) residual energy
Accidental restarting of
equipment
Failure to clear work areas before
restarting
MICET
Types of Lockout Devices

Plug Locks Electrical
Ball Valve Lockout Hydraulic,
Gate Valve Lockout pneumatic, and other
pressurized systems
Group Lockout Hasp
MICET
Types of Lockout Devices

MICET
Requirements for LOTO equipments

LO devices must be durable & withstand the
environment to which they are exposed.
TO devices must be constructed & printed so
they do not deteriorate or become illegible;
LO/TO devices must be standardized by
color, shape or size;
LO/TO devices must be substantial enough to
prevent early or accidental removal and
removal without excessive force.
MICET
Must be singularly
identified
Must be the ONLY
devices for controlling
energy and
Must NOT be used for
any other purposes.
MICET

Lock out will be
accomplished using
a lock and key.
Chains, or other
hardware, may be
used in conjunction
with the lock to
isolate the energy
source.
MICET

One key will be issued to
the authorized employee
applying the lock.
Additional keys will only
be used to remove locks in
the event the abandoned
lock procedure must be
implemented.
MICET

TO devices must include a
legend such as: DO NOT
START, DO NOT OPEN,
DO NOT CLOSE, DO
NOT ENERGIZE, DO
NOT OPERATE, etc.
TO devices must have
standardized print and
format.
MICET

Name of authorized employee who
locked out equipment;
Authorized employees radio or phone
number, including contractors;
Date and time of lockout; and
Brief description of work being
performed.
MICET
If equipment must be locked

out for an extended period,
extended locks will be issued.
Extended locks will be
distinguished as such,
including a separate tag.
MICET
6.3 Lockout Tagout Procedures

Alert the operator (s) that power
is being disconnected.
Preparation for Shutdown
Equipment Shutdown
Equipment Isolation
Application of Lockout & Tagout
Devices
Control of Stored Energy
Equipment Isolation-Verification
1. Preparation For Shutdown

MICET
Know the types and amounts of

energy that power specific
equipment
Know the hazards of that
energy
Know how the energy can be
controlled review equipment
specific procedures if necessary
Direct any questions to
immediate supervisor
MICET
2. Shutting Down Equipment

NotifyALL affected employees that a
LOTO procedure is being used and
why.
Shut the equipment down using
operating controls.
Follow proper procedure for the
equipment to avoid endangering anyone
during the shutdown.
MICET
3. Energy Isolation
LO & TO energy isolating sources
with assigned locks and tags.
Usually requires locking out
electrical disconnect.
Be sure to isolate ALL energy
sources (secondary as well
as primary).
MICET
4. Application of Devices LO & TO

Use valve covers, plug
locks, etc. if the lock
cant be placed directly
on the energy control.
When LO is used, every
employee in the work
crew must attach their
personal lock.
MICET
4. Application of Devices LO & TOcont

A TO system alone is not acceptable at any
time unless the equipment is not capable of
being locked out.
The tag must be placed at the same location
that the lockout device would have been
attached, and additional measures must be
taken to ensure the level of safety is
equivalent to that obtained by using a lock.
This includes: blocking of a controlling
switch, removal of an isolating circuit
element, opening of an extra disconnect
device, or removal of a valve handle ONLY.
MICET
5. Control of Stored Energy

Inspect the system to make sure all
parts have stopped moving.
Disperse stored energy (springs,
hydraulic systems, air, gas, water
pressure, or steam).
If stored energy can build up again,
monitor it to make certain it stays
below hazardous levels.
MICET
6. Verifying Equipment Isolation

Make certain all dangerous areas are
clear of personnel.
Verify that the equipment cannot be
turned to the on position. Press all
start buttons and activating controls
on the equipment.
Return all controls to the off
position after certain that LO is
effective.
MICET
Removing LOTO Devices/Restoring

Equipment
Safeguard all employees by making certain
everyone is clear of the equipment.
Also notify affected employees of impending re-
energization.
Verify that all tools have been removed and all
guards reinstalled.
Remove LOTO devices. Each device must be
removed by the person who put it on.
Energize equipment.
MICET
Special Situations Shift Changes

If servicing lasts more than one shift, LOTO
protection CANNOT be interrupted.
The original authorized employee will remove
their lock & the incoming employee will place
theirs on the isolating device. If the first
employee leaves prior to the replacements
arrival, a supervisor may place their lock on to
ensure safety.
The incoming authorized employee MUST
VERIFY that ALL energy sources are locked out
prior to beginning work.
MICET
Special Notes
Never attempt lockout/tagout procedures
unless you have been trained and certified
by your employer under an approved Energy
Control Program.
Never loan or share your lock, combination,
or key with anybody else.
Always be sure all lockout/tagout devices
are compatible with the environment in
which they will be used i.e. corrosive, humid,
etc.
