LOCK OUT AND TAG OUT INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: This machine does not have integral devices that will isolate
the electrical, pneumatic, stored and hydraulic energy source. Appropriate
isolation or blocking devices must be used that have the provisions to be
switched in the off position and locked in that position.
ALL MAINTANANCE AND SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED PERSON.
ALL MAINTANANCE AND SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED WITH THE LIFT
UNLOADED.
IT IS THE SHOP OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE ENERGY
ISOLATING DEVICES ARE:
Accessible
Conveniently located to facilitate the application of lockout devices
during service and maintenance
Located outside any hazardous area.
At a convenient manipulating height (i.e. not overhead, on ladders or
under machinery)
Adequately labeled or marked. Identification shall include machine
ID, energy type and magnitude.
Capable of being locked or otherwise secured in an effective
isolating position.
Effective hazardous energy control procedures will protect employees during
machine and equipment servicing and maintenance where the unexpected
energization, start up or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury,
as well as while working on or near exposed de-energized electrical conductors
and parts of electrical equipment. Hazards being guard against include being
caught in, being crushed by, being struck by, being thrown from, or contacting
live electrical circuits/parts.
In preparation for lockout, an initial survey must be made to locate and identify all
energy isolating devices to be certain which switch, valve, or other energy
isolating devices apply to the machine / equipment to be locked out. More than
one energy source (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or others) may be involved.
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
Notify all affected employees that a lockout or tagout system is going to be
