Preparation
Employees authorized to perform lockout shall ensure that the appropriate energy isolating device (i.e., circuit
breaker, fuse, disconnect, etc.) is identified for the lift being locked out. Other such devices for other equipment
may be located in close proximity of the appropriate energy isolating device. If the identity of the device is in
question, see the shop supervisor for resolution. Assure that proper authorization is received prior to performing
the lockout procedure.
Sequence of Lockout Procedure
1)
Notify all affected employees that a lockout is being performed and the reason for it.
2)
Unload the subject lift. Shut it down and assure the disconnect switch is “OFF” if one is provided on the
lift.
3)
The authorized lockout person operates the main energy isolation device removing power to the subject
lift.
•
If this is a lockable device, the authorized lockout person places the assigned padlock on the device to
prevent its unintentional reactivation. An appropriate tag is applied stating the person’s name, at least 3”
x 6” in size, an easily noticeably color, and states not to operate device or remove tag.
•
If this device is a non-lockable circuit breaker or fuse, replace with a “dummy” device and tag it appro
priately as mentioned above.
4)
Attempt to operate lift to assure the lockout is working. Be sure to return any switches to the “OFF” posi
tion.
5)
The equipment is now locked out and ready for the required maintenance or service.
Restoring Equipment to Service
1)
Assure the work on the lift is complete and the area is clear of tools, vehicles, and personnel.
2)
At this point, the authorized person can remove the lock (or dummy circuit breaker or fuse) & tag and
activate the energy isolating device so that the lift may again be placed into operation.
Rules for Using Lockout Procedure
Use the Lockout Procedure whenever the lift is being repaired or serviced, waiting for repair when current
operation could cause possible injury to personnel, or for any other situation when unintentional operation could
injure personnel. No attempt shall be made to operate the lift when the energy isolating device is locked out.
Operating Conditions
Lift is not intended for outdoor use and has an operating ambient temperature range
of 41º-104ºF (5º-40ºC).
