 Employer’s
Responsibilities:

● Under 29 CFR 1910.147, employers must

develop an energy control program for the
control of hazardous energy.
SLIDESMANIA
 Employee Responsibilities:

● Affected employees should be notified by

authorized employees of the application and
removal of lockout and/or tagout devices.

 Both lockout and tagout devices need to fit the following
criteria:

● Locks and tags must be durable enough to withstand the

environmental conditions.

● Each lock will have an identification tag and collar attached.

● Each authorized employee will receive one lock and one key.

● The tag will be marked with the last name and first initial of the
employee.

● All tag-outs will be standard with “DO NOT OPERATE” warning.

 REMINDERS:

It is important to understand that all of these energy

types can be considered as either the primary energy
source, or as residual or stored energy. Primary energy
source is the supply of power that is used to perform
work.

 SELF SAFETY
SLIDESMANIA
SLIDESMANIA
 GENERAL SAFETY
SLIDESMANIA
 A hazardous energy control program is used to
maintain worker safety by preventing:

● Unintended release of stored energy.

● Unintended start-up.
● Unintended motion.
● Contact with a hazard when guards are removed or safety
devices have been by-passed or removed.
SLIDESMANIA
 Hazardous energy programs involve the following elements:

1. Identify sources of hazardous energy in the workplace

2. Perform a hazard and risk assessment for the sources of hazardous
energy

3. Implement energy controls and procedures

4. Provide training
5. Inspect and audit program and controls

Application of Lockout or Tagout.

 Group lockout and tagout

When maintenance and/or service work is performed by more than one employee or in conjunction with
another department, group, or contractor, a procedure shall be utilized.

The following requirements apply for group lockout or tagout:

● one authorized employee shall be designated to take primary responsibility to coordinate the affected
work and ensure continuity of protection for all.

● The designated employee is responsible to coordinate activities for the entire group to ensure

● The designated employee has primary responsibility for providing the group lockout and/or tagout
device(s) and all employee notifications.
SLIDESMANIA
 Shift or Personnel Changes

A single authorized employee or the designated authorized employee responsible for group
lockout/tagout shall communicate with the oncoming shift personnel to ensure that the
continuity of protection is maintained.
SLIDESMANIA
 Zero Energy State Procedure (ZESP)
● In situations where multiple energy source machinery or equipment requires maintenance or
servicing, the authorized employee(s) shall follow the procedures listed below:

1. Identification of the ZESP

2. Use the ZESP to apply energy controls
3. Verify that no other energy sources exist
4. Perform required servicing or maintenance work.
5. Release the energy controls
SLIDESMANIA
 Outside Contractors

Outside contractors must be informed of hazardous energy

control requirements and are expected to follow the same basic
program. Activities must be coordinated with the contractor
SLIDESMANIA
 Periodic Inspection

● The inspection will be conducted to ensure that the hazardous energy

control procedure and the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.147 are being
followed. If any inadequacies are identified, retraining shall occur for all
authorized employees.
SLIDESMANIA
 Responsibility

● Management should ensure that all employees are trained properly. In addition,
management should be held accountable for enforcing the established work rules
for employees to ensure hazardous energy controls are being applied appropriately
to eliminate potential exposure to hazardous energy.
