Start each lockout procedure from a template for the machine. Add your photos and your devices, then print the placard. A written energy control program plus a procedure for every machine, cited to 1910.147, in English and Spanish.
What's in your lockout/tagout program
If your people service or maintain machines where an unexpected startup or stored energy could hurt them, OSHA requires an energy control program: procedures, training and periodic inspections (1910.147(c)(1)). These are the parts the rule requires, and what 29Safety gives you for each.
A procedure for each machine
Each one says what it covers, how to shut down, isolate, block and secure the machine, how locks and tags go on, come off and change hands, and how to test that it worked. Start from a template: conveyor, press, compressor, packaging line, CNC, saw, mixer, boiler and more.
1910.147(c)(4)(ii)Every isolation point, with your photo
A code and a photo for every isolation point (E-1, P-1 and so on), so a new hire finds the right disconnect. Add your disconnect numbers and valve locations. Nothing can be approved until every point is checked at the machine.
1910.147(d)(3)The steps in OSHA's order
The rule sets the order: get ready, shut down, isolate, lock and tag, release stored energy, then verify. The template has the steps in that order, and the checks are written in: try it, test it, recheck it, with live-dead-live on every electrical check.
1910.147(d)Locks, tags and devices
For each point, the device and how it goes on: breaker lockout, padlock, tag. The rule wants lockout devices used only for lockout, standardized by color, shape or size, durable, hard to remove without bolt cutters, and marked with the name of the person who put them on.
1910.147(c)(5)Back in service
Check the machine, clear the area, tell the affected people, and each person takes off only their own lock. If the person who put a lock on has left, the rule allows removal only under a written procedure: confirm they're gone, try to reach them, and tell them before they're back at work.
1910.147(e)Crews, shift changes and contractors
Group lockout puts one authorized employee in charge, with each person's own lock on the group box. At shift change the protection is handed over in order. Outside contractors and you tell each other your procedures. The placard covers all three.
1910.147(f)(2)-(4)An inspection every year
At least once a year, an authorized employee who isn't using the procedure inspects it, and you record the machine, the date, the people included and the inspector. 29Safety tracks each one with a due date.
1910.147(c)(6)Training, by name and date
Authorized employees learn the energy sources and how to control them, affected employees learn what the procedure is for, and everyone else learns to leave locks alone. Names and training dates sit on each procedure, and a change flags the people who use it for retraining.
1910.147(c)(7)Every procedure prints as a placard in English and Spanish, with a QR code that always opens the current version. See a full sample, point by point, open the sample placard (PDF), or read our lockout procedure guide.
