 DISPOSAL
 Disposal must be in accordance with MSDS

 All waste disposal via ??????????

 Waste must be in identifiable bags

(i.e. corrosive solvents)

 Minimum requirements - double bag - may

need strong chemical bins
 SOLVENTS / CORROSIVES

 Product identified from MSDS if solvent or corrosive

 Specific PPE require for solvents

 Highly flammable - may require forced ventilation or

extraction
 DISPOSAL OF
SOLVENTS / CORROSIVES

 All solvent waste must be disposed of in

“yellow solvent bags”

 All corrosive waste must be disposed of in

“blue corrosive waste bags”
 HOT WORK

Hot work requires permit and must be looked at in

relation to work being carried on in your area (i.e.
solvents, etc.)

 Summary
 WHAT IS HAZARDOUS
ENERGY?

Hazardous energy is the energy stored that if

released may cause a serious accident or
physical damage.
 CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS
ENERGIES

Purpose:
To ensure persons who work on or around
hazardous energy sources are aware of controls
to prevent injury or accidents.
5 TYPES OF HAZARDOUS
ENERGY

 Electrical

 Chemical

 Kinetic

 Thermal Radiation
 Pressure
 TYPES AND RISKS
 Electrical
 220 - 380 v, high voltage - substations
 Chemical
 reaction, fire, explosion
 Kinetic
 release of a spring, moving parts, falling objects
 Thermal Radiation
 hot/cold, radiation
 Pressure
 pressurised gases, vacuum pumps, pneumatic cylinders
 LOCKOUT

The placement of a lockout device on an

energy isolation device. This ensures that the
energy isolating device and the systems it
controls cannot be accidentally operated.
 TAGOUT

The placement of a tagout device on an energy

isolation device to indicate that the isolation
device and the system being controlled may
not be operated until the tagout device is
removed.
 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

 Any equipment able to store hazardous energy

must have lockout and tagout capability.

 Onlytrained and authorised persons can perform

lockout - tagout.

A lockout - tagout device cannot be removed on

behalf of another person, unless an approved
transfer procedure has taken place.
SITUATIONS REQUIRING THE
USE OF LOCKOUT - TAGOUT
 When servicing, maintaining or repairing mechanical
equipment where parts could create a safety hazard.

 When working on pipelines that carry hazardous chemicals

(e.g. high pressure, toxic, corrosive, etc.).

 On electrical circuits and systems where a high risk of

electrical shock exists.

 Where other hazardous energies exists that may cause injury

if intentionally released during service or maintenance.
 TAGOUT

 Tagout alone is permitted only in circumstances where a

lockout device cannot be used.

 Seek approval from your supervisor before commencing

any work on equipment that cannot be locked out.

 It is your responsibility to remove your tag or lock prior to

closeout of the work permit.
 TAGOUT REQUIREMENTS
 A tag may only be removed by the person who attached it
 A tag should never be bypassed, ignored or defeated
 A tag must be able to withstand the environmental conditions
 A tag must be securely attached so it is not inadvertently defeated
 A tag must only be transferred when ownership has to be changed
for a task
 The new Owner must affix his tag with all relevant details and
ensure the work permit shows the same details.
 LOCKOUT - TAGOUT
REQUIREMENTS

 Always follow the site lockout and tagout rules to

control hazardous energies
 Use only approved locks and tags
Alock or tag may only be removed by the person
who applied it
 Always use a multiple lockout clasp in case others
need to lockout
 LOCKOUT - TAGOUT
REQUIREMENTS
 Only one key to one lock
 Where a machine or its supporting equipment are
to be worked on all relevant permits must be used
 Where piped systems or exhaust ducting is to be
worked on, then the system Owner must sign off
the respective permits
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES

 Abandoned locks

 Change of shift

 Multiple workers
