Authorized Person(s) - Personnel who have been designated by
his/her department to perform maintenance or service on a piece or
pieces of equipment, machinery or system. These individuals are
qualified to perform the work through proper training on the
Lockout/Tagout procedures for the equipment, machinery or system.
Lockout - The placement of a Tagout device on an energy-isolating
device, in accordance with an established procedure, to indicate that
the energy isolating device and the equipment being controlled may
not be operated until the Tagout device is removed.
Lockout Device - Any device that uses positive methods, such as a
lock (either key or combination type), to hold an energy-isolating
device in a safe position, thereby preventing the energizing of
machinery or equipment. When properly installed, a blank flange or
bolted slip blind are considered equivalent to lockout devices.
Tagout - The placement of a Tagout device on an energy-isolating
device, in accordance with an established procedure, to indicate that
the energy isolating device and the equipment being controlled may
not be operated until the Tagout device is removed.
Tagout Device - Any prominent warning device, such as a tag and a
means of attachment, which can be securely fastened to an energy
isolating device in accordance with an established procedure. The tag
indicates that the machine or equipment to which it is attached is not
to be operated until the Tagout device is removed in accordance with
the energy control procedure.
Zero Mechanical State - The mechanical potential energy of all
portions of the equipment or machine is set so that the opening of
pipes, tubes or hoses, and the actuation of any valve, lever or button,
will not produce a movement which could cause injury.
