Seven Steps to Lockout/Tagout Compliance White Paper

Examine how you control hazardous energy in your facility. Do you have a specific set of personnel who are exclusively authorized to lockout equipment? Have you identified every source of hazardous energy and posted appropriate signage to alert staff of its location? Do you have a lockout device dedicated to each source? These are some of considerations implicit in the OSHA requirements for the controlling of hazardous energy.

You may be in violation of federal regulations. Avoid the 1.6 million dollar lesson: take responsibility for hazardous energy and prevent accidents before they happen. Accuform makes it simple. Follow this seven-step guide to get started on your facility-specific lockout/tagout system.
