1.0 PURPOSE
1.1 This procedure establishes the standard work practices for isolating
hazardous energy sources and otherwise disabling machines or
equipment during servicing and maintenance to prevent unexpected or
unintentional energization, start-up, or release of stored energy which
may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
2.0 SCOPE
2.1 This procedure applies to Vopak Fundamentals+ and meets the

requirements of regulatory standards: 29 CFR 1910.147, Control of
Hazardous Energy (lockout/tagout), and the provisions of OSHA's
Electrical Safety-Related Work Practices Standards: 29 CFR 1910.331;
1910.332; 1910.333; 1910.334; and 1910.335.
2.2 All employees, contractors, and temporary-agency provided workers
involved in servicing or maintenance activities at this site are required to
follow this procedure.
2.3 Failure to follow the requirements of this procedure or attempting to
bypass locks or lockout devices to operate an EID will result in
disciplinary action up to and including termination or dismissal from the
terminal.
3.0 DEFINITIONS
3.1 Energy Isolating Device (EID) – a device that physically prevents the
transmission or release of energy. An EID is capable of being locked out
if it has a built-in locking mechanism, or has a means of attachment to
which, or through which, a locking mechanism can be affixed.
3.2 Lockout, Tagout, Permit – a form used to inventory and record the
application of lockout devices and tags to equipment and energy sources.
The permit is used to properly identify the energy sources and location of
EID’s that are required to be secured under this procedure. In addition to
verifying who has isolated the equipment and is conducting the work. The
permit will insure that individuals will check all work is complete prior to
returning equipment to operational service.
3.3 Energy Source – any source of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, chemical, thermal, or radiation energy, includes residual or
stored energy of any type.
3.4 Lock Box - A standardized metal box, with a locking mechanism with
provisions for attaching multiple locks, which contain the keys for locks
used on a specific servicing or maintenance activity.
3.5 Lockout - the placement of a lockout device and lock on an EID in
accordance with this procedure, which ensures that the EID and the
equipment being controlled cannot be operated until the lock and lockout
device are removed.
3.6 Lockout Device – a standardized device that utilizes a positive means

Revised: 5/10/13 7:12 AM
(for example: a keyed lock) to hold an EID in a safe position and prevent
the energizing of a machine or equipment until the device is removed.
(Examples: multiple lockout scissors or lockout hasp, chains, plastic
valve covers.)
3.7 Servicing and Maintenance - activities such as, but not necessarily
limited to, construction, installing, setting up, adjusting, inspecting,
modifying, lubricating, cleaning, unjamming, making adjustments, or
making tooling changes where the employee may be exposed to the
unexpected energization or start-up of the machine or equipment or
release of hazardous energy.
3.8 Tag - A standardized, prominent warning device and a means of
attachment which is securely fastened to a lock or lockout device on an
EID to indicate that the equipment being controlled may not be operated
until the lock, lockout device, and tag are removed.
3.9 Try – the actual physical motion of trying to start or energize the machine
or equipment immediately after locking to verify that the machine or
equipment is properly isolated, potential energy is released, and that
interlocks are not engaged. (Examples: pushing an "On" or "Start"
button, placing an HOA switch in the "Hand" position.)
3.10 Cord and Plug Connected Equipment - Equipment where the only
energy source is electrical power provided by a plug in connection.

will obtain one of the Lock boxes and evaluate the isolations to be
completed. For example chaining out valves, or removal of a
spool. If in doubt contact the SH&E Department or Lead operator.
5.5.3 All permits that involve a LOTO activity, must have a documented
list of where the isolations have been made or P&ID’s with
locations of isolation clearly marked to verify that all appropriate
EID’s are secure.
5.6 Ensure that all EID’s are properly locked out and tagged,
5.6.1 On air-operated valves, disconnecting the air supply line is
equivalent to use of an EID.
5.6.2 Installing a tag on the disconnected valve port will be considered
equal to locking out the valve
5.6.3 Care must be taken when using this type of isolation. Many
valves are ‘fail open’ or just remain in the same position once the
air supply is removed. You must verify that the valve is in the
desired position before disconnecting the air supply line. This
practice can not be used for Confine Space isolation.
5.6.4 Electrically-operated valves cannot be used as the only source of
isolation. Complete isolation of the system that operates the
valves with electrical disconnects and verification of valves not
passing or de-pressurization is acceptable.
5.6.5 Place the keys for all the EID locks in a Lock Box.
5.6.6 The keys should have tags to identify the equipment and EID
locks they control.
5.6.7 Confined space isolations if valves cannot be removed Blinds will
