From software version SC 706.1 SP1 Version 10/2014 2.11 Lock out and tag out procedure

 Release stored energy

Stored energy in the compressed air supply or electrical energy in electrolytic capacitors must

be released by appropriate means. 2

 After switching off the machine, wait the specified discharge or pressure unloading time

(see sections 2.8

, page 78, and 2.9, page 81), before the machine can be operated again

without risk.

 Verify the lock out.

Testing the lock out can be done simply by pressing the start button.

 The following steps must be taken to restore the machine to operation.

 Check the area. Authorized employees should remove all of their tools and reinstall all

guards.

 Notify all affected employees.

 Before removing even one lock or tag, inform all workers in the area that the machine is going

to be restarted.

 Remove locks/tags

 Each authorized employee must remove his or her own lock. Each authorized employee will

have his or her own lock.

 Turn the machine on. Authorized workers should observe the equipment in operation to in-

sure repairs were done correctly.

2.11.3 Testing

Service personnel may test the circuits by activating them briefly without canceling the locking

method. This may be done only when no other work is being performed by any other person on

the equipment being tested.

It is extremely important that all remote start switches be tagged with the Do Not Operate tag to

prevent inadvertent operation of the equipment during these periods.

2.11.4 Responsibility and obligations

– It shall be the responsibility of the maintenance and service personnel to make sure this pro-

cedure is adhered to.

– It shall be the responsibility of the maintenance and service personnel’s immediate supervisor

to instruct his personnel on this procedure.

– It shall be the responsibility of the Safety Officer with assistance from the Safety Committee,

Health Service Department, and the various managers and Vice-presidents to administer the

Lock Out / Tag Out Procedure.

2.11.5 Training

– Staff training

– The safety regulations require training for every individual. Of course, not every employee is

exposed to the same degree of danger or is involved with LO/TO as others are. So extensive

training is not necessary for everyone.

– To determine how much training to provide for each worker, the employees are divided into

three groups. Each group has its own level of training.

– Authorized employees.

– These workers actually install the locks and tags and do the preventive maintenance or ser-

vice work. So they must know the most about controlled energy. First, they must be able to

recognize all energy sources and measure the amount of energy. Authorized employees must

look for energy sources out of the realm of the obvious. These energy sources include elec-

trical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal and gravitational. Once these

workers can recognize all energy sources they must be taught how to isolate, control, and

release the energy without any risk.

– Affected employees

– These are workers who operate the machinery or equipment that may be de-energized. Other

employees who may be affected include those who work in an area that contain equipment

that may be locked/tagged out. These employees have to be instructed about the nature of

the energy control program. They must know why lock/tag out is important, what tags and

locks look like and why they must not remove tags or locks.

– All others

– As the name implies, any employee who is not affected or authorized fits into this category.

There employees include office personal, managers, and upper management. Although they

do not have a direct relationship to the machinery being locked or tagged, they have to re-

ceive some training.

– To evaluate the lock/tag out procedure, the safety department will conduct periodic inspec-

tions. As part of the inspection the safety department will document that all facets of the pro-

cedure are followed. The safety department will follow up with formal classroom review or

retraining of the LO/TO procedure.

2.11.6 Review

This procedure will be reviewed and amended as required, and at least once a year.

2.12 ESD guidelines

2.12.1 What does ESD mean?

Almost all of the modules in use today are equipped with highly integrated MOS blocks and com-

ponents. The manufacturing techniques used mean that these electronic components are ex-

tremely sensitive to overvoltage and thus to electrostatic discharge.

The abbreviation for such modules is 'ESD' (Electrostatic Sensitive Device). ’ESD’ is used inter-

nationally. The following symbol on cabinet typeplates, racks or packaging indicates that compo-

nents which are sensitive to electrostatic discharge have been used and that the modules

concerned are also touch-sensitive.

ESDs can be destroyed by voltages and power levels that are far below the level

that can be perceived by humans. Such voltages occur if a person touches a com-

ponent or module without earthing themselves. Components that are exposed to

such overvoltages do not generally appear to be defective immediately - incorrect

behavior starts after the component or module has been in operation for some time.

2.12.2 Important measures to protect against static charging

 Most plastics can easily become charged and must therefore be kept away from at-risk com-

ponents.

 Always ensure that people, the workplace and packaging are safely earthed when handling

electrostatic sensitive components.

2.12.3 Handling ESD modules

Do not touch electronic modules unless it is absolutely essential to do so in order to carry out other

work. If it is necessary, make sure that you do not touch the pins or printed conductors when you

pick up flat modules.

Do not touch components unless

 you are constantly earthed by an ESD wrist strap or

 you are wearing ESD shoes or ESD shoe earthing strips on an ESD floor.

Always discharge yourself before you touch an electronic module. To do this, simply touch a con-

ductive and earthed object immediately before you touch the module (such as unpainted parts of

a switch cabinet, a water pipe, etc.).

Do not allow modules with chargeable and highly insulating materials to touch one another, e.g.

plastic films, insulating table surfaces or items of clothing made from synthetic fibers.

Always place the modules on a conductive surface (table with an ESD coating, conductive ESD

foam, ESD bag or container).
