CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS ENERGY SOURCES [LOCKOUT/TACOUT] (29 CFR 1910.147) 

Agriculture, maritime, and construction anployers are not covered under standard 29 CFR 1910.147. Also, the generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power by utilities, and work on electric conductors and equipment, are excluded. The general requirements under this ruling require employers to 

Ensure that new equipment or overhauled equipment can accommodate locks. 

Employ additional means to ensure safety when tags, rather than locks, are installed by using an effective tagout program. 

Identify and implement specific procedures (generally in writing) for the control of hazardous energy, including preparation for shutdown, equipment isolation, lockout/tagout application, release of stored energy, and verification of isolation.
