Control of hazardous energy: plans, checks, and tools of the trade
TRENDS IN 20 WEBINAR | FREE
Injuries or fatalities can occur during maintenance or service of equipment and machinery. Workers often restart these machines while still performing their tasks. An unexpected release of energy can cause devastating consequences such as amputations, burns, engulfment, or death.
Controlling hazardous energy by locking and tagging energy sources can prevent this from happening. Locking and tagging the energy source prevents someone from turning it on or activating it. This simple yet effective measure can save lives and prevent serious injuries. All employees must undergo training on lockout/tagout procedures to prevent workplace accidents.
