When Are Machine Specific Lockout Procedures Required?

OSHA 1910.147 defines 8 criteria that ALL must be met in order for a machine to not need a machine specific lockout tagout procedure. See the criteria here.
These criteria can be difficult to fully understand. A common industry standard is – if it has more than one source of energy (including stored or residual energy such as gravity, springs, thermal, kinetic, etc.) then a machine-specific procedure is required.
Lockout Tagout has consistently been in the Top 5 Most Cited OSHA Standards for workplace violations.

Send us a list of onsite equipment. That is the most accurate way for us to determine the scope and cost of a project…but it isn’t required.
If a list is not available, then a quick conversation with our project manager is usually enough to estimate the scope and cost of the project.
For larger facilities, we can send a technician to gather the information required to create a project scope.
