1.5.1. Preparation: Make a survey to locate and identify all isolating devices to be certain which switches, valves, or other energy isolating devices apply to the equipment to be locked or tagged out. More than one energy source such as electrical, mechanical or others may be involved.

1.5.2. Sequence Of Lockout/Tagout Procedure:

1.5.2.1. Notify all affected personnel that a Lockout/Tagout system is going to be used and the reason, therefore.

http://www.nfpa.org/catalog http://www.usapa.army.mil/

The authorized personnel shall know the type and magnitude of energy the machine or equipment uses and shall understand hazards thereof.

1.5.2.2. If the machine or equipment is operating, shut it down by the normal stopping procedure such as depressing stop button, open toggle switch, etc.

1.5.2.3. Operate the switch, valve, or other energy isolating devices so that the equipment is isolated from its energy source. Stored energy such as in charged capacitors, springs, elevated machine members, rotating flywheels, hydraulic systems and other pressurized air, gas, steam, or water systems etc. must be dissipated or restrained by methods such as repositioning, blocking, or bleeding down the stored energy.

1.5.2.4. Lockout and/or tagout the energy isolating devices with assigned individual locks, tags, or additional safety measures as may be required.

1.5.2.5. After ensuring that no personnel are exposed, and as a check on having disconnected the energy sources, operate the push button or other normal operating controls to make certain the equipment will not operate.

CAUTION: Make sure the operating controls are returned to the "NEUTRAL" or "OFF" position after the test.

1.5.2.6. The equipment is now locked out or tagged out.

When an energy isolating device cannot accept multiple locks or tags, a multiple lockout or tagout hasp shall be used. If a single lock is used to lockout the machine or equipment, the single key shall be placed in a lockout box or cabinet which allows the use of multiple locks to secure it. Each employee shall then use his/her own lock to secure the box or cabinet. As each person no longer needs to maintain his/her lockout protection, only that person shall remove his/her lock from the box or cabinet.

1.6. USACE EM 385-1-1: The Contractor shall be responsible for knowing the Corps of Engineers, Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1, (use the current version at the time of task order award) and incorporate those general and additional safety requirements into daily working procedures to provide safe working conditions during performance of this contract.
