Lockout-Tagout (Vehicle Procedures)

(16 min.) The control of hazardous energy sources commonly known as Lockout/Tagout covers the use and maintenance of machines and equipment, in which the unexpected energization or startup of the machines or equipment or release of stored energy could cause injury to employees. Lockout requires that energy sources for equipment be turned off or disconnected and that the switch or energy source be locked.

Tagout requires that the equipment or switch be turned off or disconnected and labeled with a warning tag. In the event of a lockout device can not be applied, the energy source must be isolated by other mechanical means such as blocking, caging, removal of a switch or handle, and so forth.
