Visual Lockout Writing Procedures

Authoring lockout procedures requires a significant amount of an employee’s time and machine-specific knowledge. Our team of field engineers apply their on-site experience and knowledge of OSHA’s 1910.147 standard to create highly visual, standardized procedures and templates that are easy to understand and easy to sustain in-house. Some common types of equipment that would require a lockout tagout procedure would be: air compressors, exhaust fans, air conditioners and handlers, heaters, pumps and generators.

Lockout Machine Inventory

Our team can help jump-start the process of creating an effective lockout program by assessing your current state.

Walk-through — On-site walk-through of your facility which identifies the specific equipment requiring lockout.

Assessment — A detailed lockout equipment list, identifying equipment type and the exact number of isolation points for your facility.

Alternative Method Procedures

Some production processes have regular tasks an operator will need to perform to keep the equipment running smoothly. With these tasks being routine, repetitive, and an integral part of the overall process, full lockout tagout can be very time consuming and may not be necessary if there is a safe alternative option. We offer a Minor Servicing option or Alternative Method Procedure writing service that will document the process to utilize safety mechanisms to keep your operators safe, while minimizing downtime.
