Full Employee Protection
What are the requirements for the use of tagout devices when
lockout devices are capable of being used?
- The employer demonstrates that the tagout will provide protection at
least as effective as locks and will assure full employee protection
[
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(3)(i)].
How does an employer demonstrate that the protection achieved
using the tagout program is equivalent to the level of safety obtained by using a lockout
program?
The employer must comply with all tagout-related provisions and
also use additional safety measures that provide a level of safety equivalent to that
obtained by using lockout. This might include removing and isolating a circuit element,
blocking a controlling switch, opening an extra disconnecting device, or removing a valve
handle to reduce the potential for any inadvertent energization while the tags are
attached
[29 CFR 1910.147(c)(3)(ii)].
