Master Lock Lockout / Tagout
The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees has a health and safety section on their web site which includes information about lockout/tagout. It provides an excellent overview of this important topic. It covers:
Identifying hazardous energy
What is lockout/tagout?
When is lockout/tagout needed?
What does OSHA require?
Tagout vs. Lockout
Tagout Program
Lockout Tagout equipment
Applying Lockout/Tagout
Release From Lockout/Tagout
Periodic Inspections
Training
Retraining
The information was developed using a grant from OSHA. One of the introductory paragraphs states:
"The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has a regulation on the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) on September 1, 1989. This regulation, (29CFR 1910.147) helps safeguard employees from hazardous energy while they are performing service or maintenance on machines and equipment. The OSHA regulation requires that employer have documented clearance procedures to ensure that machinery does not start up while an employee is working on it."
We offer the Master Lock line of Safety Lockout/Tagout products. Master Lock provides an exclusive line of Lockout/TagOut equipment and supplies that include innovative and patent-pending cable lockouts, gate valve, ball valve, circuit breaker, plug covers and more. It is called the Master Lock Safety Series of products.
