Lock Out Tag Out – Verify
Anyone who operates, cleans, services, adjusts, and repairs machinery or equipment must be aware of the hazards associated with that machinery.
Any powered machinery or electrical equipment that can move in a way that would put people in danger is a hazard that can be prevented by following locking or tagging procedures. Failure to lock out or tag power sources on equipment can result in electrocutions, amputations, and other serious-sometimes fatal-accidents.
What are the most common causes of these accidents?
Remember the dangers and be on your guard around any machinery and moving equipment. Even if you don’t operate the machinery, you could get caught in it and injured if it isn’t properly disconnected.
So what can you do to prevent accidental injury from moving machinery?
Always follow proper lockout and tag out procedures, even if the task for a quick or minor repair!
