About this file

This document is a Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Safety Program procedure developed by Reedy Creek Energy Services (RCES) Operations Division 320 for the Energy Production department in Florida. The program establishes comprehensive safety procedures for controlling hazardous energy during equipment service and maintenance activities across multiple facilities including the Central Energy Plant (CEP), Cogeneration Plant (COGEN), Epcot Central Energy Plant (ECEP), and other operational sites. The procedure applies to all RCES personnel, Disney Cast Members, and external contractors who perform service or maintenance work on plant equipment and systems where LOTO is required. The program references and enhances compliance with OSHA's Control of Hazardous Energy (lockout/tagout) regulation (29 CFR 1910.147) and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide Safety LOTO Program standards. Implementation requires a Level 2 Authorized Cast Member to initiate LOTO procedures, with a designated Group Leader responsible for overseeing the process throughout each shift or work period. The procedure mandates completion of multiple documentation sheets, verification of zero energy state for all hazardous energy sources (mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, pressure, and stored/potential energy), and formal sign-on and sign-off protocols by all workers participating in the LOTO activity.

The program establishes a three-tier personnel classification system: Level 1 (Affected Workers), Level 2 (Authorized Cast Members), and Level 3 (Responsible Persons), each with defined responsibilities and authority levels. All personnel must complete appropriate WDPR Level 1 User Safety Training to participate in LOTO activities. The procedure requires use of Group LOTO Boxes with individual locks and tags bearing unique identification numbers, lock serial numbers, device information, required positions, and application dates. Keys are stored in departmental key cabinets with shift continuity locks applied. External contractors must follow the RCES LOTO program as Level 1 Affected Workers and provide timely notification to the contracting line of business regarding when and how LOTO will be implemented. The program includes specific provisions for equipment exceeding 1KV voltage, HVAC maintenance modifications, partial removal procedures for testing purposes, and emergency removal protocols requiring Director-level approval and documented notification procedures. All LOTO activities must be recorded on standardized forms (Sheets 1, 2, and 3) with signatures from qualifying personnel verifying energy isolation and system safety before work commencement and after completion.

Training: In accordance with reference (1).

Procedure:

To ensure consistency of the LOTO procedure, the following will be adhered to:

1. When it is determined that a LOTO is required, a Level 2 Authorized Cast Member will be assigned to implement the LOTO.

2. If the LOTO energy control procedures involve a piece of equipment that uses greater than 1KV, the qualified operator implementing the LOTO will ensure the additional required switching steps of Appendix 4 have been completed.

3. Authorized Cast Members are to use the LOTO procedures developed and available electronically at the plant or modify one to establish a zero energy state which addresses the specific work task to be performed.

4. The Authorized Cast Member is responsible to ensure the LOTO effectively isolates the equipment for the work to be performed and shall ensure it includes the steps necessary to validate zero energy state

(ZES).

5. All LOTO Tags will have the following information:

a. Unique LOTO Identification Number (in lieu of the /name of person installing tag)

b. Lock Number (Serial # on unique key)

c. Device the tag is attached to

d. Required Position

e. Date tag applied

6. The keys from these individual locks will be placed in a Group LOTO Box. The associated Group LOTO box shift continuity lock will be applied and the key will be placed in the departmental key cabinet where all Group LOTO box shift continuity locks and keys will be maintained. Keys may be maintained in RCES vehicles for short-term and remote LOTOs.

7. All LOTO’s will be verified ZEV for the appropriate hazardous energies expected. (For example:

Mechanical, Electrical, Thermal, Chemical, Pressure, or Stored/Potential Energy). This will be signed by the Authorized Cast Member hanging the LOTO as they either test the zero energy state themselves (Mechanical), or by a qualified technician or contractor checking the zero energy state for electrical systems (electrical).

8. Once the system is verified at ZEV, RCES cast members, outside contractors, or others performing the work will be offered an opportunity to verify the system ZEV and the boundaries. They will sign in the appropriate block on Sheet 2, accepting and verifying the LOTO is adequate for the scope of work being performed and place their RED personal LOTO lock identifying the person performing the work on the Group Lock Box. Workers who are Non RCES cast members will use their company designated personal lock and tag that will provide name and contact information.

9. A Level 2 Authorized Cast Member must be signed on to Sheet 3 as the Group Leader in order for work to be performed under the LOTO. The Group Leader is the go to person if any there are any questions about the LOTO or the LOTO needs to be modified. The Group Leader is considered a system expert for the system / equipment under the LOTO. The Group Leader will be the Working Foreman (WF) if work is expected to take less than 1 shift, or the Plant Service Manager. If the Group Leader is the WF, and the work continues past the current Group Leader's shift, a new Group Leader from the oncoming shift will have to relieve the current Group Leader for work to continue. This will be annotated on Sheet 3 of the LOTO. A Group Leader is not needed if no work is being performed.

10. If work on the equipment is determined to need additional tags at any time during the work, those tags will be filled in on Sheet 1 and listed as Tag Numbers Added/Removed, the Reason for Change, and sign as Verified and Accepted By.

11. Personal locks on group LOTO boxes must be removed at the end of each shift

12. After the work is completed or at the end of each shift, each person who accepted the LOTO will sign the

“Sign OFF” block on the sheet they previously signed, indicate if their work is complete, and remove their personal lock from the Group Lock Box.

13. Once all work is completed on the piece of equipment, all locks removed from the associated Group Lock boxes, and all “Signed Off” blocks from Sheet 2 are verified signed; the Authorized Cast member on shift may then sign the Final Removal Ordered By block on Sheet 1 and the LOTO will be removed. When the LOTO is removed, each device will be positioned consistent with expected standby conditions unless another LOTO is in effect on that piece of equipment.

14. When partial removal of the LOTO is required for testing purposes, the person or Cast Member requesting the test shall verify all work on that equipment is in a state that can support the test without causing damage to equipment or injury to personal. Once verified the test can be performed safely, all work on that system or equipment stops and all personnel working on the equipment will remove their locks from the group lock box of the LOTO. An Authorized Cast Member shall determine what tags are necessary to be remove to safely test the equipment and fill in Sheet 1 indicating what tags are to be removed and the reason for their removal and sign as Verified and Accepted By.

15. In the event that a LOTO lock and tag must be removed in the absence of the person that accepted the LOTO, ensure the following are adhered to and documented on the Removal of Lock Form in Appendix 6:

a. Every means must be used to locate the person

b. The Director, or above, has been notified and approved the removal.

c. The onsite leader has determined that it is safe to re-energize the affected equipment or machine.
