Proceedures For Safe Lockout / Tagout

The CDC has placed the lockout / tagout procedures developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers online. They are available free for anyone to use as a reference. If you are developing lockout / tagout procedures for your facility this is a good resource to use as a starting point... or even directly copy.

The procedures are in section 12 of the procedures manual in a section titled: Control of Hazardous Enery (Lockout/Tagout). Use this link: http:///www.cdec.gov/eLCOSH/docs/d0100/d000100/pdfs/SECTION12-V2-final.pdf
