9

When Must LOTO Be Used?

Whenever servicing or maintaining equipment where:

Hazardous or stored energy exists

Unexpected start-up could occur

Either of these could harm an employee

10

LOTO Shall Be Used When:

Employees are required to remove or bypass a safety device

Employees are required to place any part of their body in harm’s way

Employees are exposed to hazardous or stored energy

11

LOTO Exceptions

Work where hazardous energy does not exist

Activities performed during routine work processes

Work on cord-controlled devices (un-plug the cord!)

Hot tap operations where shutdown is not feasible (N/A in schools)

12

Typical LOTO Procedures

Performing a shutdown Isolating equipment Applying and removing lock-out devices Safely releasing stored energy

13

Affected Employees

Employees who Operate Work around Occasionally adjust equipment that is

subject to LOTO

Authorized Employee

Maintains equipment Services equipment Is trained to use LOTO

15

School District Responsibilities

Ensure de-energization of equipment Ensure employee awareness Provide appropriate levels of training Review program effectiveness Maintain and revise program Administer appropriate disciplinary actions

Maintenance Responsibilities

Lockout/Tagout prior to service or repair

Removal of locks and isolation devices

Ensure proper training of authorized employees

17

Affected Employee Responsibilities

Notify maintenance, etc., when equipment needs repair or adjustment

Leave all LOTO devices in place Verify equipment is safe to operate

following LOTO Follow all safety rules while operating the

equipment

18

Authorized Employee Responsibilities

Repair or service equipment as needed Ensure that all energy sources are locked-

out Test equipment to verify residual energy is

dissipated Place a “Danger—Do Not Operate” tag on

equipment

Authorized Employee Responsibilities (cont.)

Obtain assistance when necessary

Remove locks and/or tags following LOTO

Coordinate multi-shift repair

20

Training Requirements

Authorized employees—initially and at least annually

Affected employees—at least initially Authorized and affected—whenever

changes are made to jobs or procedures Authorized and affected—when program

deficiencies are noted
