storage of poisonous gases (chlorine, etc.), bulk storage of flammables, other contractors in the vicinity engaged in
dangerous work, and so on. As part of the pre-job planning, an accountability of the peripheral risks must be
accomplished. GE Project Lead will work with Customer on determining location for job trailers; lay-down areas,
office/dining/welfare accommodation. Factors to be considered include location of work area, traffic patterns,
overhead lines, impact on and exposure to environment and access control.
4.9 Projects taking place on refineries or chemical plant environments, an assessment of the potential impacts from an
emergency that may take place at the site will be considered when sighting trailers. Trailer placement risk
assessment provided in Tab E shall be used as a guide in making this determination.

Emergency Escape Routes, First Aid Supplies other non-danger safety indicators – Green
8.2.3 Other locations need to verify if there are country specific color code systems that are required.
8.3 Erect signs and barrier tape so that it is far enough back from hazards to allow adequate warning and protection from
the hazards.
8.4 Erect signs and barrier tape so that it stands against adverse weather conditions and construction traffic.
9. Housekeeping

GE, and site requirements. Flowchart in Tab N may be used to determine what reviews of LOTO program may be
required.
10.2 Identify which organization’s (Customer / GE / Contractor) LOTO Program will be implemented during
preplanning. If Customers LOTO program is to be used it must be reviewed to determine that it is as protective as
GE LOTO program. The form provided in Tab G may be used to perform this review. Business regional EHS
Manager can support this review.
10.3 All LOTOs will require a general or individual LOTO lock(s) and a red “DANGER-DO NOT OPERATE” tag to be
applied to the equipment at the Energy Isolating Device. LOTO devices used at a site shall be standardized in at
least one of the following criteria: color, shape, size, or specific markings and shall be used for no other purpose
other than LOTO.
10.4 A “DANGER-DO NOT OPERATE” tag can only be used without a LOTO lock when a lockout device cannot be
physically applied to an energy-isolating device. In these situations, effort must be made to identify a method to
reconfigure the Energy Isolating Device so that a lock can be applied or to otherwise secure the device (e.g., by
using chains, cable ties, etc.) in an effective isolating position.
10.5 If Customers use a Tag-Out Only system a review of the program must be conducted to determine that it is as
protective as a full Lockout Tagout.
10.6 Any variations to LOTO procedures shall be reviewed by business Regional EHS Manager.
10.7 All personnel (field engineer, supervisors, craft labor, subcontractor employees) working on equipment under a
LOTO shall apply a personal lock and tag either to the equipment being worked on or a lock box being used as part
of Group LOTO. Locks shall be single keyed and key under the control of individual who applied their personal
lock.
10.8 Verify a zero-energy state prior to commencing any work under lockout/tagout. Each energy source must be tested
to confirm that it has been de-energized. Sources of stored energy shall be controlled through means such as
grounding, bleeding or blocking.
10.9 GE Project Lead or designee who is knowledgeable in the systems being worked on shall walk down isolation points
prior to commencing work, weekly and after any changes that have impacted the LOTO. All employees working
under the LOTO shall be given the opportunity to walk down the isolation points.
10.10 A log of all personnel working under the LOTO shall be maintained. Personnel shall sign on and off of the log
indicating that they are actively working on the system covered by the LOTO, if this system is used. See Tab O.
10.11 A record of dates and location of all locks applied using the LOTO Log in Tab O and the lock box will be controlled
via the GE offices.
10.12 Any changes to the LOTO will be communicated to all employees on site. Including cases where LOTO may be
temporarily released for test purposes.
10.13 Perform LOTO inspections on a regular basis including, walk down of isolation and review of LOTO documentation
for completeness.
