4. Definitions
Authorized employee: An employee who locks or tags machines or equipment in order to perform servicing or maintenance.

Affected employee: An employee who is required to use machines or equipment on which servicing is performed under the Lockout/Tagout standard or who performs other job responsibilities in an area where such servicing is performed.

Other employees: All employees who are or may be in an area where energy control (LO/TO) procedures may be utilized.

Capable of being locked out: An energy-isolating device is considered capable of being locked out if it is designed with a hasp or other means of attachment to which a lock can be affixed, has a locking mechanism built into it, can be locked without dismantling, rebuilding, or replacing the energy-isolating device or permanently altering its energy control capability.

Energized: Machines and equipment are energized when they are connected to an energy source or they contain residual or stored energy.

Energy-isolating device: A mechanical device that physically prevents the transmission or release of energy, including but not limited to the following: A manually operated electrical circuit breaker; a disconnect switch; a manually operated switch by which the conductors of a circuit can be disconnected from all ungrounded supply conductors and, in addition, no pole can be operated independently; a line valve; a block; and any similar device used to block or isolate energy. Push buttons, selector switches, and other control circuit type devices are not energy isolating devices.

Energy source: Any source of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, or other energy.

Lockout: The placement of a lockout device on an energy-isolating device, in accordance with an established procedure, ensuring that the energy-isolating device and the equipment being controlled cannot be operated until the lockout device is removed.

Lockout device: Any device that uses positive means, such as a lock, blank flanges and bolted slip blinds, to hold an energy-isolating device in a safe position, thereby preventing the energizing of machinery or equipment.

Normal production operations: Utilization of a machine or equipment to perform its intended production function.

Servicing and/or maintenance: Workplace activities such as constructing, installing, setting up, adjusting, inspecting, modifying, maintaining and/or servicing machines or equipment, including lubrication, cleaning or un-jamming of machines or equipment, and making adjustments or tool changes, where employees could be exposed to the unexpected energization or startup of the equipment or release of hazardous energy.

Tagout: The placement of a tagout device on an energy-isolating device, in accordance with an established procedure, to indicate that the energy-isolating device and the equipment being controlled may not be operated until the tagout device is removed.

Tagout device: Any prominent warning device, such as a tag and a means of attachment, that can be securely fastened to an energy-isolating device to indicate that the machine or equipment to which it is attached may not be operated until the tagout device is removed.

7.2 General requirements:

7.3 Devices

Tagout Device – If an energy source cannot be locked out with a lockout device then a tagout device shall be used. Tagout devices are a warning only level of protection and shall be weather and chemical resistant, standardized in color with clear written warning of hazardous energy; i.e. Do Not Operate, Do Not Start, Do Not Energize, etc. Each site shall have the same style of tags specified by IM-Inc.

7.4 Each manager or supervisor is responsible for Developing specific step-by-step shutdown and startup procedures for each type of machine or piece of equipment in their respective area that include the following information:

7.6 Release from Lockout/Tagout- When servicing or maintenance is completed and LO/TO devices must be removed to return to normal operating status, the following steps shall be taken, in this order:

7.7 Removal of Locks- The authorized employee who applied the lock shall be the one to remove their lock. However, after all work has been completed, certain conditions may arise which prohibit this person from being present to remove the lock. The following procedures shall be followed to allow for the removal of a lock that another person has applied:

7.8 Contractors performing lockout procedures on CDH Consulting property shall:
7.9 Procedures for Handling Multiple Groups of Workers Involved in a Group Lockout- A crew of authorized employees may use a group lockout or tagout device. This will afford the group of employees a level of protection equal to that provided by a personal lockout or tagout device. Procedures include:

An authorized employee has primary responsibility for a set number of employees working under the protection of a group lockout or tagout device. The authorized employee should ascertain the exposure status of individual group members. Each IM-Inc. employee or contractor employee shall attach a personal lockout or tagout device to the group's device while he/she is working and then removes it when finished.

7.10 During shift change or personnel changes, there are specific procedures to ensure the continuity of lockout or tagout procedures. These include:

In the event shift or personnel changes occur during maintenance and/or repair activities, the designated CDH Consulting employee or contractor employee in charge shall take the necessary steps to maintain the continuity of the lockout/tagout protection. This includes maintaining that all provisions in this procedure are adhered to and the transfer of lockout/tagout devices between authorized employees is accomplished.
