They are an accident waiting to happen. Machines that have not been turned off properly can provide your employees with a lethal dose of electricity. As part of your OSHA requirements, you as an employer must inform all of your employees about proper lockout and tagout procedures.
Lockout/Tagout and the Control of Hazardous Energy Sources is a great place to start. This educational video will help your employees grasp this vital concept. It will show them why it is important to de-energize machines when they are not in use and when they are being serviced. The procedures documented in this video are absolutely essential for anyone using or working near heavy machinery.
Lockout / Tagout is a
vital safety procedure which is used in industry and research environments to
ensure that potentially dangerous machines and equipment are properly shut off
and de-energized prior to maintenance, set-up or service. Lockout / Tagout
procedures not only protect authorized maintenance employees from harm, but also
any affected employees that work on or near the machine or equipment while it is
undergoing servicing or repair. Lockout / Tagout helps prevent serious workplace
injuries, and is required by OSHA.
