Each year, thousands of workers are killed or injured while performing repairs or maintenance on industrial machinery or equipment. Many of these accidents are caused by an uncontrolled release of energy. In Europe, however, there are several regulations that require all power sources to be disconnected and ‘locked out’ while machines are being repaired or undergoing maintenance.
What is it?
Lockout tagout is a planned safety procedure that involves disconnecting the power supply to industrial equipment and machines while any maintenance or repair work is being carried out on them. This procedure protects workers against the hazards posed by electricity or active machinery.
Why is lockout / tagout necessary?
- Safety during maintenance, cleaning or repair work.
- Injury prevention
- Damage prevention
- Helps prevent errors.
- It is a procedure that clearly communicates the risks in the workplace
