Automotive Lockout/Tagout

What is Lockout Tagout?

OSHA 1910.147 states LOTO is: The Control of Hazardous Energy. This relates to all market sectors and can often be overlooked in the Automotive Industry.

Isolating hazardous energy is everyone’s concern. Especially the technicians working on the vehicles! Although ultimately, it is the employer’s responsibility to review and develop an energy control programme.

Do you need a lockout tagout programme & product? Let’s look at the hazards. Do they apply? 1. Mechanical - Mounting & Dismantling

Mechanical – Disc brakes/Spring tension

Hydraulics - Vehicle & Equipment used

Gravity - Dump beds / Elevated vehicles

Air Bag Explosions

Electrical Shocks – Short Circuits

Chemical – Battery burns & EV components

Kinetic Movement - Unexpected Start-Ups 9. Heavy Manufacturing Press Machines

Think EV – Are you an EV Pod installer or Manufacturer? Do you have specialist lockout kit fit for these tasks?

A Must - Employers must highlight & evaluate the hazards of each piece of equipment to build an energy control plan. Then provide suitable product for the tasks.

Lockout Tagout is seen as the best practice standard to help avoid injury or fatality. In the Automotive industry, accidents occur all too often where lockout could have provided the preventative measure.

The Role of Lockout Tagout in Renewable Energy

Geothermal/Hydro Power – Wind Turbines

What is Lockout Tagout?

OSHA 1910.147 states LOTO is: The Control of Hazardous Energy.

This relates to all market sectors and can often be overlooked in the Renewable Energy Sector.

Wind Turbines, Geothermal & Hydro power plants operate lots of internal machinery, equipment & electrics that need to be maintained.

Operatives are often exposed to injury/fatalities from unexpected energization of machinery in any form.

Employers in these fields MUST implement a Lockout/Tagout procedure as per OSHA standards to safeguard workers when in the line of risk. This should be machine and task specific, following the best practice LOTOTO processes below. Thought of the day Lockout Tagout is NOT an optional activity!

The Role of Lockout Tagout in the Waste & Recycling Industry

Lockout - Tagout - Tryout

The programme is designed to prevent the accidental start of equipment when an employee may be in the danger zone of hazardous machinery.

Each employee must be able to guarantee their own safety. Equipment they are working on or around should be tested and proven incapable of starting, running, and cycling once lockout has been applied.

This is achieved with the correct process /procedure/equipment the programme.

Types of Energy

Dangerous energy sources can take may forms,

Including:

Electrical Energy

Commonly found powering nearly all workplace equipment.

Hydraulic Energy Found powering forklifts, cutting equipment and pumps.

Mechanical Energy Can be found in all machinery with moving parts.

Thermal Energy In ovens or freezers (hot or cold).

Pneumatic Energy

Commonly found powering machinery via compressed air or gas.

Potential Energy Found in compressed springs or suspended weights

For every 100,000 workers the Waste Industry is 18 times more likely to suffer a fatal injury than any other sector!

Workers killed in 2019/20 in workplace accidents. 69,208 non-fatal injuries reported by employers* *www.hse.gov.uk/statistics

Employers must highlight & evaluate the hazards of each piece of equipment to build an energy control plan. Then provide suitable product for the tasks.
