GENERAL SAFETY NOTES
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (O.S.H.A.) has revised Section
1910-147, The Control Of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout).
Hazardous energy may be: electric, air, hydraulic, water, steam, gravity, spring & all other
equally hazardous energy.
This revised regulation, states that you will de-energize all potential sources of energy
(may be more than one energy source) prior to performing service or maintenance on any
equipment. It also states that a lock shall be placed on the de-energized control, along
with a verified test (use of a voltmeter or other equipment) to insure no accidental starts.
If you are not familiar with this regulation, review the O.S.H.A. Regulation, Section
1910-147.
In field service, full compliance with this regulation is difficult at best.
Troubleshooting must often be performed with hazardous energy applied; therefore
extreme caution must be followed during these troubleshooting steps. Only Qualified
Personnel Must Perform This Work. This phase of the repair work must be coordinated
through the customer's facilities maintenance department or designated person.
When performing service or maintenance as an outside contractor/worker, follow the
Outside Work Force's Lockout/Tagout system. Be alert for new types of lockout/tagout
devices.
√Always use the proper protective equipment (clothing, gloves, goggles etc.).
√Always dissipate extreme cold or heat, or wear protective clothing.
√Always follow good hygiene practices.
√Each individual is responsible for his/her own safety.
For your safety adhere to all DANGER and CAUTION statements.
Danger: This word is used to call attention to immediate hazards of
equipment or conditions which, if not avoided, could result in personal
injury, loss of life or property damage.
Caution: This word is used to call attention to potential hazards of
equipment or conditions which, if not avoided, could
result in personal injury, loss of life or property damage.
