Here's another example of a lockout-tagout case: Suppose a group of workers needs to work on a conveyor belt system that moves heavy materials in a manufacturing plant. Before working on the conveyor system, teams must follow lock-out, tag-out procedures to ensure their safety. The team will first determine the energy sources needed to shut down the conveyor system, including electrical supply, hydraulic power and any potential stored energy. They will use locking devices such as padlocks to secure all energy sources in the off position so that no one can restore the energy supply while they are working. Once all energy sources are locked, the team will put a sticker on each lock indicating that maintenance work is being done on the delivery system and the energy must not be restored. Tags will also include the names and contact information of team members working on the system. During maintenance work, it is critical that everyone on the team ensures that lock-out, tag-out equipment remains in place. No one else should attempt to remove lockouts or restore power to the conveyor system until the maintenance work is complete and team members have removed the lockouts. Once the maintenance work is complete, the team will remove all lock-out and tag-out devices and restore power to the delivery system. This lockout tagout box keeps teams safe while working on the conveyor belt system, preventing any accidental re-powering that could pose a significant safety risk.
