Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Procedure Involving More Than One Person
In the proceeding steps, if more than one person is required to lockout or tagout equipment,
each shall place his/her own lockout or tagout device on the energy-isolating device. When
an energy-isolating device cannot accept multiple locks or tags, a multiple lockout or tagout
device may be used that allows the use of multiple locks to secure it. Each worker will then
use his own lock(s) or tag(s) to secure the multiple lockout or tagout device. When work is
completed and each person no longer needs to maintain his lockout/tagout protection, that
person will remove his/her lock(s) or tag(s) from the multiple lockout/tagout device(s).
Restoring the Pivot to Normal Operations
1. After maintenance is complete and the pivot is ready for normal operations, check
around the area of the pivot to ensure that the fi eld is not obstructed by vehicles and
that everyone is clear of the pathways of all pivot towers. It is especially important to
check the entire length of the pivot if it is set up on hilly terrain. It is easy to lose sight
of someone working on the opposite side of the hill.
2. After all the tools have been removed from the pivot and all workers are in the clear,
remove all lockout or tagout devices. Operate the energy isolating devices to restore
energy to the pivot.
3. When possible, test run the machine to ensure proper operation.
4. If additional maintenance or service is required, shut down all systems and follow the
lockout/tagout procedure again.
