DOE-STD-1030-96
The sample Lockout/Tagout Record Sheet in Appendix A provides one approach
to documenting a lockout/tagout.
Facilities also may use a standardized form, such as the sample Lockout/Tagout
Record Sheet, when it is necessary to prepare and approve lockout/tagout
instructions to meet a specific work requirement. When completed, the form
should provide the necessary procedural steps for isolation, specific instructions
for placing and removing locks and tags, and instructions for verifying the
effectiveness of the protection.
4.5 Installing, Verifying, and Removing Lockout/Tagout
Certain elements of a lockout/tagout should be performed in sequence to ensure that the
lockout/tagout provides the desired level of safety. Understanding these elements will help
facilities define the specific steps that will be required in the installation, verification, and
removal of facility lockouts/tagouts. The operating principles that form the basis for these
elements are discussed below.
4.5.1
Installation of Lockout/Tagout
Lockout/tagout should not be installed unless authorization has been obtained
from the supervisor responsible for operation and status of the equipment. In
addition, the following guidelines should be observed.
Only personnel who are qualified and authorized should be permitted to
isolate equipment or install locks and tags. This is necessary to ensure that
the operator responsible for the equipment or process is aware of its status
and is able to verify all requirements for personnel and equipment safety. It
also helps ensure that adequate protection is provided to the worker, even
when the worker is not familiar with system operation.
In facilities using individual-controlled lockout/tagout, a qualified operator
should assist anyone needing protection (e.g., vendor) who is unfamiliar with
the isolation procedure. When the lockout/tagout is installed, it should be
placed under the control of the person requiring the protection.
All personnel authorized to isolate equipment or install locks and tags should
