3. For each energy source
, operate the switch, valve, or other energy-
isolating device so that the energy source(s) (electrical, mechanical,
hydraulic, etc.) is disconnected or isolated from the equipment.
Stored energy, such as that in capacitors, springs, elevated machine
members, rotating flywheels, hydraulic systems, and air, gas, steam,
or water pressure, etc., must also be dissipated or restrained by
methods such as grounding, repositioning, blocking, bleeding-down,
etc.
4. Lockout the energy isolating devices with an assigned individual
lock.
5. After ensuring that no personnel are exposed and as a check on
having disconnected the energy sources, operate the push button or
other normal operating controls to make certain the equipment will
not operate.
CAUTION
Return operating controls to neutral position after the
test.
6. The equipment is now locked out.
Restoring Equipment to Service
1. When the job is complete and equipment is ready for testing or
normal service, check the equipment area to see that no one is
exposed.
2. When equipment is all clear, remove all locks. The energy isolating
devices may be operated to restore energy to equipment.
