Lockout / Tagout Guidelines

Appropriate lockout and tagout policy and procedures shall comply with the Code of
Federal Regulations, 29 CFR 1910.147 and the minimum safety requirements
outlined in the current publication of the American National Standard Institute's
Control of Hazardous Energy - Lockout/Tagout and Alternative Methods (ANSI
Z244.1).
Effective January 8, 1990, O.S.H.A. has designated the need for a 'positive, lockable'
means to remove all energy sources from equipment prior to new installation(s) or
any maintenance. The electrical power to the equipment can be locked out at the
main disconnect switch, which is normally located on the electrical cabinet. When
this is done, residual energy remains for some time in the capacitors associated with
the electrical system. This residual energy is automatically depleted by features built
into the equipment. After locking out the main disconnect switch, wait at least 60
seconds before beginning any installation or maintenance procedures. This allows
the residual energy to diminish. (If an equipment-mounted plate indicates that you
should wait longer than 60 seconds, wait the recommended period of time before
beginning any installation or maintenance work.)
Whenever you need to install new equipment or perform maintenance on the
equipment, or whenever you need to shut it down for any other reason, a lockout
procedure must be followed. Your employer is required by O.S.H.A. to develop a
written lockout/tagout procedure for this equipment.

1.10 Safety Signs

In an effort to reduce the possibility of injury to personnel working around conveying
equipment, safety signs are placed at various points on the equipment to alert them
of potential dangers. Please check the equipment and note all safety signs. Make
certain all personnel are alerted to and obey these signs.
The following illustration shows pictograms designed by the Conveyor Equipment
Manufacturers Association (CEMA) Safety Committee as a service to the industry.
They also mirror, to the extent practical, the pictograms on the associated CEMA
Safety Labels placed on the equipment. CEMA Safety Posters are also available to
place in work areas and break areas to remind personnel of safe practices.
