Lockout Tagout

Before working on this machine, perform lockout-tagout procedures per the rules of your plant. Determine the sources of energy on this machine –  mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic – and release or vent sources of stored energy – electrical capacitors, air receivers, and hydraulic accumulators. Shut off sources of power – electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic. Safely block mechanical sources of energy such as loaded springs and loaded machine members, or safely position the machine members so they are unloaded and springs are not under tension. Beware of hot surfaces which can cause burns.
