The UNH Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) program establishes the minimum requirements for controlling energy-isolating devices to prevent the unexpected release of hazardous energy during equipment servicing or maintenance activities. The Lockout/Tagout procedures outlined in this program are based on the 职业安全 and 健康 Administration (OSHA) General Industry Standard 29 CFR 1910.147, the Control of Hazardous Energy and must be adhered to when it is necessary to work on any equipment or machinery that could release any form of hazardous energy.
What is Lockout/Tagout
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) refers to the procedures necessary to protect employees from all hazardous energy sources during the maintenance and servicing of equipment. Lockout consists of the placement of a locking device on an energy isolating device to ensure that equipment cannot be operated during servicing or maintenance activities. Tagout consists of the fastening of a tag to an energy isolating device to indicate that the equipment being controlled may not be operated until the tagout device is removed. Hazardous energy sources that must be identified and controlled while conducting servicing or maintenance activities include, but are not limited to:
- 电;
- 液压;
- 气动的;
- 机械;
- 引力;
- 热;
- 化学;
- 液体和气体;
- Water under pressure; and/or
- 蒸汽
OEHS的支持
The Office of 环境卫生 and 安全 is available to provide technical support to those covered by the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) program to include:
- Developing equipment specific LOTO procedures;
- Field reviews of LOTO procedures;
- 培训 for Principal Authorized, Authorized, and Affected Employees; and
- Program reviews and audits
