LEARNING OBJECTIVES
When it's time for maintenance or repairs of equipment, simply
turning the machine off or unplugging it while it is being serviced
does not give enough protection for workers. Many accidents
have happened because someone thought the machine
was turned off or all of the energy had dissipated. These accidents
are often serious; the U.S. Department of Labor states
that, on average, workers injured on the job from hazardous
energy lose over three weeks of work for recuperation.
Workers may be exposed to hazardous energy in several forms
and combinations during installation, maintenance, service, or
repair work:
- Potential energy maybe stored in pressure vessels, gas
tanks or hydraulics and unwittingly released as kinetic
energy that can injure those nearby.
- Electrical energy from generated electrical power, static
sources, or electrical storage devices (such as batteries or
capacitors) can shock or kill unwary workers.
- Thermal energy resulting from mechanical work, radiation,
chemical reaction, or electrical resistance can cause serious
burns or injuries.
This CIRMA workshop will take you through the various required
sections of an effective written Lockout/Tagout program from
beginning to end. As each section is discussed, the requirements,
definitions, and procedures will be explained. Ensuring your
compliance with CONN-OSHA standards and everyone’s safety
depends on a well-designed and fully implemented Lockout/
Tagout program.
Be sure your employees understand the basics of lockout/tagout
and practice the recommended safety procedures on the job. If
you are new to Lockout/Tagout, this class will give you the
basics you need to know to get your program running. And,
for those who are familiar with Lockout/Tagout, the class will
serve as a valuable review.
