During the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment, the unexpected startup or release of stored energy can result in serious injury or death. Injuries may include electrocution, burns, crushing, cutting, lacerating, amputating, or fracturing body parts. It’s estimated more than 120 deaths and over 50,000 injuries are prevented each year due to following proper lockout/tagout procedures.
Electricity is the movement of electrons between atoms. In their normal state, electrons in a conductor such as copper, freely and randomly move from atom to atom.
Failure to lock out and tag machinery before working on it is a major cause of injury and death in the United States. Workers can be electrocuted or lose fingers, hands, arms, or suffer severe crushing injuries because machinery is inadvertently turned on while being serviced or maintained. Lockout/Tagout prevents these in juries. This short program is designed to explain basic lockout/tagout procedures, some terminology used in the procedures and general requirements.

In most industries it is as simple as turning off the power and installing a lock to prevent the power from being turned back on. In the solid waste industry the purpose is the same, protecting employees, but the energy sources we need to control aren't usually controlled by just a circuit breaker. This program takes a detailed look about how to properly lock and block trash hauling vehicles during maintenance and clean out operations.
