• Work where hazardous energy does not exist
• Activities performed during routine production
  processes
• Work on cord or plug connected electrical

• Isolating equipment
• Applying and removing lockout devices
• Safely releasing stored energy

9

• Work around
• Occasionally adjust equipment that is subject to
  LOTO

10
Authorized Employee

• Recognizes hazardous energy
• Types and magnitude of energy in the workplace
• Means to isolate those types of energy

11
Authorized Employee Responsibilities

• Repair or service equipment as needed
• Ensure that all energy sources are locked out
• Test equipment to verify residual energy is
  dissipated
• Place a DangerDo Not Operate tag on equipment

12
Affected Employee Responsibilities

• Notify maintenance, etc., when equipment needs
  repair or adjustment
• Leave all LOTO devices in place
• Verify equipment is safe to operate following
