FHM TRAINING TOOLS

1. FHM TRAINING TOOLS This training presentation is part of FHM’s commitment to creating and keeping safe workplaces. Be sure to check out all the training programs that are specific to your industry.

2. Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout)

3. Learning Objectives Objectives: • Provide information required for authorized employees under the OSHA lockout/tagout standard (Control of Hazardous Energy, Code of Federal Regulations as Title 29 Part 1910.147) • Recognize and understand procedures necessary to control hazardous energy during equipment servicing and maintenance

4. Course Agenda Agenda: • Overview • Affected and authorized employees • Energy control program • Your responsibilities

5. Section 1 Overview

6. The Control of Hazardous Energy Lockout/tagout standard: • Servicing equipment where unexpected start could cause injury: • Covers 39 million workers • Standard intended to: • Save lives • Prevent 30,000 lost-workday injuries

7. Covers All Hazardous Energy Sources Potential energy sources: • Electrical • Mechanical • Hydraulic • Gas • Pneumatic • Water • Chemical • Thermal

8. Employer Responsibilities Establish anenergy control program: • Goal is to protect employees • Consists of: • Documented program • Employee training program • Periodic review of procedures

9. Employee Training Employee training ensures: • The energy control program is understood • Employees performing lockouts safely use and remove devices • Other employees recognize energy control program

10. Employee Training Retrain authorized and affected employees when: • There is a change in job assignment • Equipment or process changes present new hazards • Change in lockout/tagout procedure • Problems detected during periodic program inspection

11. Section 2 Affected and Authorized Employees

12. Affected Employees Job requires employee to: • Use equipment during lockout/tagout conditions • Work where maintenance is being performed • Affected employees must know the purpose of lockout/tagout system

13. Authorized Employees Authorized employee must: • Lock or tag out equipment to perform maintenance • Understand purpose of the program • Recognize hazardous energy sources • Know types and magnitude ofenergy sources • Understand means of controllingenergy sources • Verify that isolation is effective

14. Other Employees Employees working in lockout/tagout areas must: • Be trained on the energy control program • Not use lockout/tagout equipment

15. Section 3 Energy Control Program

16. Energy Control Procedures Energy control procedures: • Must be written and available • Must define how energy is controlled • Developed for each type of lockout • Are grouped by equipment type

17. Energy Control Procedures Procedure must include the following elements: • Statement on how to use the procedure • Steps to shut down, and secure equipment • Safe placement or removal of lockout/tagout devices • List who has responsibility • Requirements verifying effectiveness of energy control measures

18. Energy-Isolating Device Energy-isolating device: • Place on equipment where energy is controlled • Provides protection under lockout/tagout standard • Mechanism that prevents theuse of energy • Locks or tags are attachedto this device

19. Energy-Isolating Device Is capable of being locked out if it: • Is designed for use with a lock • Has a locking mechanism built into it • Can be locked without dismantling, rebuilding, or replacing the energy-isolating device

20. Devices That Cannot Be Locked Out Must be lockable under the following conditions: • Major replacement, repair, renovation, or modification of equipment • Whenever new machines or equipment is installed • All newly purchased equipment must be lockable

21. Lockout or Tagout Device The lockout or tagout device: • Holds energy-isolating devices in the safe position • Identifies energy-isolating devices as a source of danger • Protects employees from hazardous energy

22. Lockout /Tagout Device Requirements Only devices used for controlling hazardous energy: • Durable • Standardized • Substantial • Identifiable

23. Lockout/Tagout Device Requirements Additional safety measures: • Use locks unless tags provide equal protection • Remove and isolate circuit element • Block a controlling switch • Open an extra disconnecting device • Remove a valve handle

24. Using Tags Things to keep in mind about tags: • Do not provide physical restraint of lock • Securely attach to the energy-isolating device • Only removed by the person who applied it • Never to bypassed, ignored, or defeated • Legible and understandable • Made of sturdy materials

25. Additional Procedures Situations needing additional safety: • Temporary lock or tag removal and re-energizing • Outside personnel (or contractors) at the worksite • Group servicing of equipment or machinery • Shift or personnel changes

26. Section 4 Your Responsibilities

27. Your Responsibilities Your employer expects you to: • Recognize activities performed for controlling hazardous energy • Isolate hazardous energy to service equipment • Read, review, and understand procedures

28. Your Responsibilities Also your employer wants you to: • Understand differences in affected or authorized employees • Know where the energy-isolating devices are • Use lockout/tagout devices consistently and appropriately • Never remove or override lockout/tagout devices
