Development of Specific Lockout/Tagout Procedures

Consulting Objectives:

The objective is to develop Specific Lockout/Tagout Procedures for the customer’s machinery in accordance with current legislation and CSA Standards. 

The procedures will include written instruction and corresponding photographs to perform lockout/tagout.

The procedures will be sent to the customer on CD in Word format for printing on placard size paper unless otherwise specified.

The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires a part of a machine, transmission machinery, device or thing to be cleaned, oiled, adjusted, repaired or have maintenance work performed on it only when,

•   motion that may endanger a worker has stopped (i.e. main motors, flywheels
    etc.); and any part that has been stopped and that may subsequently move
    (i.e. from gravity) and endanger a worker has been blocked to prevent it’s
    movement.

     If the starting of a machine, transmission machinery, device or thing may endanger the safety of a worker,

• control switches or other control mechanisms shall be locked out and
  other effective precautions necessary to prevent such starting shall be taken.

Programs offered by Lucid Training & Consulting Ltd. not only teach how to lockout the machinery but why and when machinery must be locked out.  We believe that unless people can understand the actual dangers from failure to lockout, many of them will neglect lockout.

Canadian Standards Association Z460-05 Control of hazardous energy – Lockout and other Methods is a standard dealing with hazardous energy associated with potentially harmful machines, equipment or processes. 
Many companies have a general lockout policy.  This standard requires that specific lockout procedures be developed as well for each machine.
