4.5.2.1. Notify all affected personnel that a Lockout/Tagout system is going to be used and the reason therefore. The authorized personnel shall know the type and magnitude of energy the machine or equipment uses and shall understand hazards thereof.

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

4.5.2.3. 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.

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

4.5.2.5. 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.

Procedure Involving More Than One Person: In the preceding steps, if more than one individual is required to lockout or tagout equipment, each shall place his/her own personal lockout or tagout device on the energy isolating devices. 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.
