ESET-212 Lecture 11: ESET212-Log out and tag out
Document Summary
Lockout is one way to control hazardous energy. When lock out, feed water valve, gas valve, stem valve, fd valve should be closed, vent valve should be open. Tag out is a labelling process that is always used when lockout is required. The process of tagging out a system involves attaching or using an indicator (usually a standardized label) that includes the following information: why the lockout/tag out is required (repair, maintenance, etc. ). time of application of the lock/tag: the name of the authorized person who attached the tag and lock to the system. Prepare for shutdown: identify which sources of energy are present and must be controlled and what method of control will be used. Equipment shutdown involves ensuring controls are in the off position, and verifying that all moving parts such as flywheels, gears, and spindles have come to a complete stop: isolation of system from hazardous energy.
