OSHA Standard for Control of Hazardous Energy Sources?

摘要

Podojil & Associates is a leader in the Control of Hazardous Energy Field. Each time we are contacted by a potential client to conduct an audit (which is usually after an accident has occurred or OSHA has cited them) we ask them a few questions:Have you conducted your initial and annual Lockout & Tagout training for Authorized Employees and also training for Affected Employees? This answer is usually; "I- Don't Know". We then ask them if they have conducted their periodic audit (which is an OSHA requirement) with each Authorized Employee who will be locking out and tagging out the sources of energy and we still get an, "I Don't Know."The third question that we ask is, "Have you identified all of your energy sources on your equipment and did you label/placard the sources and are they readily available on the machine?" Usually this answer is "No".
