What are the sources of energy? A survey was done
at each facility to locate and identify all
energy sources and isolating devices. Here are
some important definitions to know. Energized
Machines and equipment are energized when they
are connected to an energy source or they contain
residual or stored energy. Energy source Any
source of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, chemical, thermal, or other energy.

16
What are lockout devices? Lockout device Any
device that uses a positive means, such as a
lock, blank flanges and bolted slip blinds, to
hold an energy-isolating device in a safe
position, thereby preventing the energizing of
machinery or equipment. At our facilities,
you can find the lockout devices stored in the
lockout center.
17
What are Energy-Isolating devices? Energy-iso
lating device A mechanical device that
physically prevents the transmission or release
of energy, including but not limited to the
following A manually operated electrical circuit
breaker a disconnect switch a line valve a
block and any similar device used to block or
isolate energy. Push buttons, selector switches
and other control circuit type devices are not
energy isolating devices.

When do I lockout? You must lockout before you
begin any servicing or maintenance activities
where the unexpected energization, (start-up or
release of stored energy) could cause injury.
Procedures for locking out equipment and
machinery are attached at the control panel.
Information in the procedure will provide the
location of energy sources, the magnitude of
energy, the isolation devices, and the sequence
required to shut down and restart the machine or
equipment. A good rule of thumb is whenever the
guarding is removed, or by-passed, or any part of
your body can come in contact with the working
parts during service/maintenance lockout must be
done!
Basic Rules For Using Lockout Or Tagout System
Procedure At Spancrete Facilities
22

• What is the shut-down sequence?
• If there are employees in the area, inform them
  that the equipment will be taken off line for
  maintenance, repair, service, etc.
• If the machine is operating, shut it down by the
  normal stopping procedure (depress stop button,
  open toggle switch, etc.).
• Operate the switch valve, or other energy
  isolating device(s) so that the equipment is
  isolated from its energy source(s). Stored
  energy (such as that in springs, elevated machine
  members, rotating flywheels, hydraulic systems,
  and air, gas, steam, or water pressure, etc.)
  must be dissipated or restrained by methods such
  as repositioning, blocking, bleeding down, etc. 
• Lockout and/or tagout the energy isolating
  devices with assigned individual lock(s) or
  tag(s).
• After ensuring that no personnel are exposed, and
  as a check on having disconnected the energy
  sources, operate the push button or other normal
  operating controls to make certain the equipment
  will not operate.
• CAUTION Return operating control(s) to
  "neutral" or "off" position after the test.
•  The equipment is now locked out or tagged out.

23
What if I have to leave before service is
finished? If you are involved with a lockout
procedure and must leave the job before
completion you should obtain a department lock,
replace your lock with the department lock, and
inform your supervisor that you are leaving and
have replaced your lock with the department
lock. Similar procedures are followed for shift
or personnel changes at our facilities. In all
cases communication is the key and the rule. You
must inform your supervisor that a change of
personnel or that you are leaving the facility.
24
Review After you shut-down and lockout the
machine or equipment it is not necessary to test
the control switches to see if they will still
operate the machine?

What if we have to call in an electrician?
Periodically, it may be necessary to use
contractors and/or outside personnel, such as an
electrician, to perform service or
maintenance. All necessary information about
our program and the contractors program must be
exchanged. When contractors or outside
personnel perform service or maintenance on the
grounds of a Spancrete Industries, Inc. or
subsidiaries facility or job site, the authorized
Spancrete employee, responsible for their work
activity. must have the contractors
representative sign a Safety Lockout/Tagout
Outside Contractors Acknowledgement.
28
What applies when two or more people work on a
machine? When more than one person is
required to lockout or tagout equipment, each
shall place his/her own personal lockout device
or tagout device on the energy isolating
device(s). If the energy isolating device(s)
can only accept one locking device, then a hasp
must be used to insure continuity in protecting
everyone on the crew performing the service or
maintenance. The employee initiating the
lockout (primary employee) should place his/her
personal lock in the upper right hand position.
All other locks (contractors too) would be placed
below the primary lock.

  removed and energy is restored to the machine or
  equipment, you must take the following actions or
  observe the following procedures
• Inspect the work area to ensure that
  non-essential items have been removed and that
  machine or equipment components are intact and
  capable of operating properly
• Check the area around the machine or equipment to
  ensure that all employees have been safely
  positioned or removed,
• Make sure that locks or tags are removed ONLY by
  those employees who attached the locks or tags
  and
• Notify affected employees after removing locks or
  tags and before starting equipment or machines. 

33
What happens if a Lockout procedure
changes? The rule requires that a periodic
inspection or audit of each procedure, be
performed at least annually to assure that the
lockout procedures continue to be implemented
properly and that our employees are familiar
with their responsibilities under those
procedures. At Spancretes facilities, It is
the responsibility of the Plant Manager to

Involving More Than One Person

• In the preceding steps, if more than one
  individual is required to lockout or tagout
  equipment, each shall place his/her own personal
  lockout device or tagout device on the energy
  isolating device(s). When an energy isolating
  device cannot accept multiple locks or tags, a
  multiple lockout or tagout device (hasp) may be
  used. If lockout is used, a single lock may be
  used to lockout the machine or equipment with the
  key being placed in a lockout box or cabinet
  which allows the use of multiple locks to secure
  it. Each employee will then use his/her own lock
  to secure the box or cabinet. As each person no
  longer needs to maintain his or her lockout
  protection, that person will remove his/her lock
  from the box or cabinet.
