Lock-out/Tag-out Training
Lock-out/Tag-out Training
Lock-out/Tag-out Training
Lockout/Tagout
Covers the servicing and maintenance of
equipment wheret the unexpected energization
or start up of equipment, or release of stored
energy could cause injury
Establishes the OSHA minimum requirements
for controlling hazardous energy
Lockout
Lockout is a technique used to prevent the
release of hazardous energy, or to prevent the
hazardous energy from escaping
A padlock is placed on the appropriate energy
isolating device that is in the off or closed
position
The Fatal Five Main Causes Lockout/Tagout Injuries
Failure to stop equipment
Failure to disconnect from power source
Failure to dissipate (bleed, neutralize) residual
energy
Accidental restarting of equipment
Failure to clear work areas before restarting
Statistics on LOTO Injuries
82% - failure to completely isolate, block or
dissipate the energy source
11% - failure to lockout or tagout energy control
devices and isolation points after de-generation
7% - failure to verify that the energy source was
de-energized before beginning work
Definitions
Authorized Employee
-one who locks out machines or equipment in
order to perform the servicing or maintenance
on that machine or equipment
Affected Employee
-one whose job requires him/her to operate or
use a machine or equipment on which servicing
or maintenance is being performed under
lockout, or whose job requires him/her to work in
an area in which such servicing or maintenance
is being performed
Lockout device
-a device that utilizes a positive means such as
a lock either a key or combination type, to hold
an energy isolating device in the safe position
and prevents the energizing of an equipment
Tagout device
-a warning device, such as a tag and a means of
attachment
-can be surely fastened to an energy isolating
device in accordance with an established
procedure to indicate that the energy isolating
device and the equipment being controlled
cannot be operated until the tag is removed
Lockout/Tagout procedure
Hand injuries:
Abrasion superficial damage to the skin, not
deeper than epidermis
Bruise a region of injured tissue or skin in
which capillaries have been ruptured or bruised
Avulsion a body structure is forcibly detached
from its normal point of insertion
Amputation removal of body exetrimities
Skin cuts (laceration/incision/puncture) a
portion of the skin was cut, torn or punctured.
Safe Techniques in the Use of Common Cold Tools
Tools are:
Extension for our arms and hands
Equipment designed to the tasks that our hands
cant
Designed to make our works easier and more
efficient
General Guidelines:
Ensure to inspect your toold first prior to use.
If found any defects, do not attempt to use it.
Use the right tools for the right job.
Use only the tools for the purpose it was
designed for.
Scaffolding Safety
Types of Scaffolding:
Supported tabular frame
Tube and coupler
Mobile scaffold platform
Suspended platform
*every scaffold is designed to carry a certain load
measured per square meter. This is indicated on the
SCAFFTAG.
*normal maximum design load is 200 kg per square
meter
What to look for?
Check the SCAFF Tag. Tag should always be
green. Inspected daily and signed by the
authorized scaffolding inspector weekly.
Never ever think of working on the scaffolding
platform with red tag, it is against the law.
Check the last date when it was inspected. The
inspection is valid for one week only as long as
no changes was made to the scaffold.
Inspect the scaffolding for self satisfaction. If you
see anything out of the ordinary, report it before
you climb onto the structure.
