29 CFR 1910.147
Chapter 6 of OPNAVINST 5100.23 Series provides guidance to protect workers against hazardous energy sources. This chapter outlines the requirements for implementing lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the safety of personnel during maintenance and servicing operations. It emphasizes the importance of identifying hazardous energy sources and establishing protocols to control them effectively.
The OSHA standard for The Control of Hazardous Energy, Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1910.147, addresses the practices and procedures necessary to disable machinery or equipment, thereby preventing the release of hazardous energy while employees perform servicing and maintenance activities.
Proper lockout tagout practices safeguard workers from the release of hazardous energy. Workers must be trained in the function of the energy control program and have the skills required for safe application usage and removal of the energy control devices.
Lockout/tagout procedures are commonly used to isolate hazardous energy sources within confined spaces. This involves physically securing energy isolation devices with locks and tags to prevent accidental re-energization of equipment. Additionally, proper training for workers on lockout/tagout procedures is essential to ensure safety during maintenance or repair work.
