Here's another example of a lockout tagout case: A maintenance team plans routine maintenance on a large industrial conveyor system. Before commencing work, they must implement a lock-out, tag-out procedure to ensure that machines are not accidentally started while they are working. The team identified all of the energy sources that power the conveyor system, including the main electrical switches and hydraulic pumps. They also identify any stored energy sources, such as compressed air tanks or springs, that could cause the system to start moving. The team set up a lockout tagout system by installing locks on the main electrical switches and hydraulic valves. They also attach tags indicating that maintenance work is in progress and the energy must not be restarted. Next, the team tested the machine to confirm that all energy sources were effectively isolated and there was no residual energy. The team ensured that all lock-tagout equipment was properly secured before commencing maintenance work. After completing maintenance on the conveyor system, the team removed all lock-out and tag-out devices and performed another inspection to ensure all energy sources were reconnected and available. Then they test the system to make sure it's working properly. This lock-out, tag-out box protects maintenance teams from unexpected start-ups of conveyor systems and keeps machines running safely after maintenance work is complete.
