SAFETY
WARNING!
When working with electrical or
electronic controls, make sure
that the power source has been
locked out and tagged according
to OSHA regulations or your
country’s local standards and
approved local electrical codes.
LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that, in addition to posting safety
warnings and barricading the work area, the power supply has been locked in the OFF position or
disconnected. It is mandatory that an approved lockout device is utilized. An example of a lockout device is
illustrated in Figure 1. The proper lockout procedure requires that the person responsible for the repairs is
the only person who has the ability to remove the lockout device.
In addition to the lockout device, it is also a requirement to tag the power control in a manner that will
clearly note that repairs are under way and state who is responsible for the lockout condition. Tagout
devices have to be constructed and printed so that exposure to weather conditions or wet and damp
locations will not cause the tag to deteriorate or become unreadable.
RITE-HITE® Corporation does not recommend any particular lockout device, but recommends the utilization
of a device that meets OSHA standards (refer to OSHA regulation 1910.147). RITE-HITE® Corporation also
recommends the review and implementation of an entire safety program for the Control of Hazardous
Energy (Lockout/Tagout). These regulations are available through OSHA publication 3120.
