Lockout

English and French

Turning a machine off is not enough: as long as an energy source can restart it, the person working inside is in danger. Lockout isolates every energy source before anyone enters a danger zone, and keeps the equipment shut down until the work is finished.

Who it’s for

Operators, mechanics, electricians, maintenance and cleaning staff, and their supervisors: anyone who works in a machine’s danger zone or oversees that work.

What your employees will be able to do

• ✓Explain why stopping a machine does not make it safe
• ✓Identify every energy source on a piece of equipment, including stored energy
• ✓Follow the steps of a lockout procedure, through to verifying zero energy
• ✓Use padlocks, hasps and tags, alone or in group lockout
• ✓Return the equipment to service safely when the work is done

What the law says

In Quebec, the ROHS (ss. 188.1 to 188.13) requires lockout, or another equally safe energy control method, with a written procedure for each machine. Elsewhere in Canada, CSA Z460 is the reference standard.

How it works
