1SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRICAL CO., INC. NOVEMBER, 2008 FROM: MANAGER TO: ALL EMPLOYEES SUBJECT: LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURE PURPOSE The purpose of this procedure is to protect employees from unexpected release of hazardous Energy during maintenance (per OSHA Standard 1910.147). Energy in this context includes, but is not limited to, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, mechanical and thermal. SCOPE This policy covers the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment in which the unexpected energization or start up of the machine or equipment, or release of stored energy could cause injury to employees. This policy establishes minimum performance requirements for the control of such hazardous energy. This procedure defines the minimum requirements for controlling energy sources when opening or working on any machinery, process equipment or piping system at SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRICAL SO., INC. location. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR: Manager of Operations has been assigned the administrative responsibility for the Lockout/Tagout procedure. A. GENERAL Electrical power sources and electrically-powered equipment will be isolated before any work can be done. All electrical powered equipment must be disconnected or electrical power source must be removed. If circuit breakers are used to remove source, the breaker must be locked out (if possible) and tagged. Additional checks must be made prior to working on the equipment (such as trying the switch, voltage check to ensure no power source). Any system that has an energy source that could be released must be blinded or piping removed prior to working on the system. A Master Isolation Tag system is used to assure all employees assigned to work on a job understands all energy isolation devices and their locations. B. RESPONSIBILITIES The OSHA Standard defines three classifications of responsibilities associated with the lockout/tagout program. The three classifications are: 1. Affected Employees - Employees who normally operate or use a machine or equipment on which servicing or maintenance work is being performed under lockout or tagout, or whose job requires them to work in an area in which such servicing or maintenance work is being performed. For the most part, this designated employee classification represents employees at SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRICAL CO., INC. 2. Authorized Employees - SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRICAL CO., INC. employees or contract employees who require the protection afforded by the lockout/tagout system to perform servicing or maintenance work on machines, equipment or systems. The authorized employee classification represents supervisors, foreman and contract maintenance. It can also be SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRICAL CO., INC. personnel performing work on their own equipment or anyone requiring lockout/tagout protection. A Designated Authorized Employee may serve as the communications link with Outside contractor for permitting and energy isolation. In this role, the Designated Authorized Employee is responsible for communicating all pertinent information to the maintenance crew (outside contractors) for assuring that all crew members sign-on the Master Isolation Tag before the job begins. The Designated Authorized Employee shall assure that all crew members sign-off the Master Isolation Tag prior to returning it to their supervisor. See Attachment I for list of equipment that fall under the Lockout/Tagout procedure. 3. Other Employees - SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRICAL CO., INC. employees or contract employees whose job may place them in the area where machinery or equipment is under lockout/tagout. Typically, these persons include field support staff managers who neither implement nor perform work under lockout/tagout situations. Exceptions would include inspectors/technical support or troubleshooting during maintenance where lockout/tagout protection is required. Contractors are responsible for total compliance with this procedure (including training and application). Contractors will use tags provided by SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRICAL CO., INC. However, they must provide their own individually keyed locks. Each lock installed by a contractor's employee must be marked with the required identification (name of company, name of individual). C. STEPS IN PERFORMING A PROPER LOCKOUT/TAGOUT All isolation control points must be visited jointly by SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRICAL CO., INC. and maintenance representative (outside contractor) prior to start of job. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT If an energy isolating device is not capable of being locked out, then SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRICAL CO., INC. will utilize a tagout system. If an energy isolating device is capable of being locked out, SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRICAL CO., INC. will utilize lockout, unless we can demonstrate that the utilization of a tagout system will provide full employee protection as set forth by 1910.147. 1.
