Lockout/Tagout
Purpose
This process consists of orderly
tagging and subsequent untagging of technical objects, so that maintenance work and tests at technical objects can be performed safely.To create safe conditions before work starts and ensure they remain so during the work on the technical system, you should observe the following five safety rules:
The operational processing of lockout/tagout is described using the
operational cycle.For a tagging which should be performed, shop papers are required for the
switch in the asset. On the one hand, an operational list is concerned, that is, a list of the switching operations to be performed individually, and, on the other hand, so-called operational tags are concerned. Operational lists and operational tags can be printed out according to the layout specifications of the respective plant.You can use
checks and simulations to ensure that lockout/tagout can be processed safely and free of conflict.Process Flow
