Module 4.2: Step by Step Lockout Procedure

Step by Step Lockout Procedure guides you through the exact process required to safely shut down and isolate equipment before maintenance or servicing. You will follow a systematic approach to apply locks and tags, dissipate stored energy, and verify a zero energy state to ensure your safety and the safety of others. Understanding each step helps prevent unexpected equipment startup and reduces the risk of injury.

• Shut down the equipment following proper operating procedures.

• Isolate all energy sources by applying appropriate lockout or tagout devices.

• Release or dissipate any stored or residual energy.

• Verify that all energy sources are effectively controlled and the equipment cannot operate.

• Communicate with affected employees to confirm the equipment is locked out.
