2. A Complex-95-007 missing 5/95.

3. A Complex-94-062 missing 2/95.

Safe condition checks are not documented in a consistent manner on Tagout Authorization forms.

(References: 1, 2, 3) [Concern: 4]

DISCUSSION: Examples of Tagout Authorization forms with varying methods of

documenting the completion of safe condition checks are:

A Complex-95-017

A Complex-95-011

A Complex-95-024

A Complex-95-002

A Complex-94-062

A Complex-94-036

AN-95-009

Some safe condition checks are annotated with zero voltage checks, others are annotated by

signing block 26, and others are annotated by lining out block 26 and noting the type of

check performed.
