Motion Adjustments of the machinery at Station A and die changes must be made frequently. That is wasteful motion and adds risk. Also, the lockout/tagout device is over 100 feet from the machine. An arrangement of that sort is error-provocative and promotes risk taking. Getting to and from the device wastes time. [Pg.268]

The standard does not require that each authorized employee must be issued a lock. Employers can either issue lockout/tagout devices to each authorized employee, or maintain a supply and assign or distribute them as needed. This does not mean that all the locks can be opened with the same key. The employee who applies a lock must have the assurance that he s the only person who is able to remove it. If an employer implements a system where employees may not always use the same lock, procedures must be in place to control who has the keys to those locks. As a suggestion, a supervisor could keep the keys to shared locks and check-out/check-in the keys when authorized employees use them. [Pg.255]

Things get more complicated when the off-going employee will leave before workers on the next shift will arrive. In this situation, the procedure could allow for the off-going employee to apply a tagout device when he removes his lock. The tag indicates that the lock was removed, but that the machine is not to be re-energized. The on-coming employee would verify that the system was still de-energized, and would remove the interim tag and apply his lock. This would assure continuous protection from one shift to another. [Pg.261]
