Synopsis

This is a basic handbook for achieving compliance with OSHA's Lockout/Tagout Standard, and implementing a comprehensive energy control program. The book uses many case studies to present effective techniques for ensuring 100% protection of personnel during service and maintenance of machines, equipment, and processes.

Mr. Kelley covers protective appliances and energy isolation and verification methods for specific types of energy, including special procedures for work on high-voltage equipment. Complex lockout/tagout situations are examined, including the continuity of protection during shift or personnel changes. The book includes many illustrations, an example of a written lockout/tagout program, and a sample format for equipment-specific energy control procedures.
