Assessing Lockouts and Tagouts.

DOE-EM-STD-5505-96

Maintenance work requests and completed work packages

Temporary modification control documentation

Lockout and tagout log

Shift supervisor and operator logs

Most document reviews will be conducted to follow up on equipment deficiency or equipment

control issues that were observed during a walkthrough or based on information gained through

personnel interviews. For example, if a piece of equipment was noted to be shut down during a

walkthrough, the following documents could be checked to ensure the status is being tracked in

the proper fashion:

Equipment deficiency log

Lockout and tagout log

Shift turnover checklists

Maintenance work requests, and maintenance work packages

6.9 Assessing Lockouts and Tagouts.

6.9.1 Discussion. The purpose of Lockouts and Tagouts is to provide a method for

equipment status control through component tagging or locking which should protect personnel

from injury, protect equipment from damage, maintain operability of plant systems, and maintain

the integrity of the physical boundaries of plant systems. If there is a potential for equipment

damage or to inadvertent activation of equipment, a facility Lockout/Tagout should be established

and used. The Lockout/Tagout program should provide for independent verification of the

removal from service and the restoration to service of safety-related and other facility equipment.

The Lockout/Tagout Program is intended to meet the requirements of 29 CFR 1910, as a

minimum.
