What Is Lockout Tagout

“Lockout Tagout is an important security procedure that involves

shutting off the power to industrial machines or equipment during

maintenance or repair”

Lockout Tagout procedures prevent the accidental activation of

equipment and minimizes the electrical and mechanical hazards faced

by industrial workers.

FACT: Unprotected workers are killed or injured due to workplace accidents.

Europe imposes firm regulations (several) that require all power sources to be

disabled during the maintenance and repair of industrial machinery.

Industrial workers are greatly exposed to electrical and

mechanical hazards while servicing equipment and machinery.


Definition of Lockout

Lockout : The placement of a locking device on an energy control device

which COMMUNICATES that the equipment being controlled should NOT

be operated until the locking device has been removed

Locking out prevents the release of unforeseen and dangerous energy surges

THREE main types of energy that LOTO

is concerned with are:

Mechanical the movement of a

piece of machinery E.g. a printing

press

Chemical - The flow of a substance

or chemical in a pipe E.g.

steam/water

Electrical The flow of electricity in

an exposed installation


Definition of Tagout

TAGOUT is the placement of a tag which indicates that the energy-

isolating device and the equipment being controlled MUST NOT be

operated until the tag has been removed.

Tagout helps communicate the risk

Avoiding Accidents When Lockout Tagout Is

Why Lockout Tagout / Advantages

* Safe Working - protects industrial workers

* Prevents accidents and injuries

* Protects equipment from damage

* Minimizes workplace errors

* Raises level of awareness on industrial hazards

“It is a procedure which clearly communicates risk in the workplace”

Lockout tagout is normally used when maintenance work is being performed.

This could be: Cleaning equipment

Adjusting equipment

Repairing equipment

When equipment is being set up or installed

It acts as a tool to communicate what is being done, who is doing it, where and

for how long.


Relevant Legislation

Provision of Work Equipment Regulations 1998

Regulation 19 – Isolation from Sources of Energy,

Paragraph 2.14, European Union (EU) Guidelines 89/655

"Every piece of equipment must be fitted with clearly visible devices with which

it can be separated from every energy source.“

OSHA 1910.147(a)(3)(i), The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), “employers to

establish a program and utilize procedures for affixing appropriate lockout

devices” (Occupational Safety and Health Association)

The Regulators View – HSE

“The primary responsibility or managing risks rests with those who create

the risk in the first place – that means employers, self employed and

manufacturers or suppliers of articles or substances for use at work” Judith Hackett – HSE Chair

Most comprehensive legislation worldwide regarding LOTO is in the US


Important New Legislation

Health & Safety (Offences) Act 2008

Became Law In January 2009

Not just Manslaughter Act - Homicide Act in Scotland

Lower Local Courts Impose fines for non compliance (£5K-£20K)

Up to 12 Months imprisonment

If non-compliance resulted in serious injury or death then High

Courts would manage case

Unlimited fine

2 years imprisonment to life

Regulators View

“We make no apology for taking a strong stance on enforcement

Judith Hackett – HSE Chair


Important New Legislation

Health & Safety (Offences) Act 2008

•Reduce Injuries

•Motivate those in Health & Safety that they contributed to improved

H&S performance

•Those with Heath & Safety duties that fail are brought to account

Consequences:-
