| STEP 1: Create energy control policy
and procedures |
--This is one of the most critical – and
overlooked – components of a LO/TO program!
--Lockout PRO™ software
helps you create a complete energy control policy and easy-to-follow, graphical
lockout procedures!
--Ideas on how to keep your procedures readily accessible to
authorized employees. |
| STEP 2: Identify all energy control
points |
--Reduce the time it takes to perform lockout and
avoid isolating the wrong energy sources by identifying all control points
--These are some solutions for
labeling or
tagging valves, switches,
breakers, etc. |
| STEP 3: Equip employees with the
proper lockout tools and warning devices |
--Brady has OSHA-compliant
locks,
tags and lockout devices to
cover every application.
--It is equally important to ensure that lockout
tools are properly stored and readily accessible to those who need them.
Lockout kits and stations do just that, and can be found in the Cases, Kits
& Stations section.
--Make sure other employees are aware when LO/TO
activity is in progress. Check out some of these
warning signs and
barricades. |
| STEP 4: Train employees and promote
awareness of safe work practices |
--OSHA requires that employees be trained in accordance
with their specific roles and responsibilities.
--Check out the information
on training requirements,
as well as on training videos, posters and
other instructional
aids. |
