CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS ENERGY - MACHINE SPECIFIC PROCEDURE
Machine Information
Machine Name:
Machine Serial Number:
Machine Model Number
Machine Location
Select all the hazardous energy sources for the machine.
- Electrical 120 Volt
- Electrical 240 Volt
- Electrical 480 Volt
- Electrical >600 Volt
- Compressed Air
- Compressed Gas
- Thermal
- Stored Energy (battery, capacitors-electrical)
- Stored Energy (hydraulic pressure)

ARE THERE ANY OTHER ENERGY SOURCES THAT ARE NOT LISTED?
PURPOSE OF THIS PROCEDURE:
This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the lockout of energy isolating devices whenever maintenance or servicing is done on machines or equipment. It shall be used to ensure that the machine or equipment is stopped, isolated from all potentially hazardous energy sources, and locked out before employees perform any servicing or maintenance where the unexpected energization or start-up of the machine or equipment or release of stored energy could cause injury.
