T&D UK offer electrical safety equipment to establish and maintain effective lockout tagout ensuring worker safety.
Introduction to Lockout Tagout
Many industrial accidents are caused by the unexpected energisation of electrical equipment or by the uncontrolled release of energy through a failure to implement correct Lockout Tagout. These accidents can be prevented by proper Lockout Tagout procedures. Current regulations 'Provision and Use of Work Equipment 1998, Section 19 Energy', and the 'Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, Regulation 13' are designed to prevent needless deaths and serious injuries to service and maintenance personnel by controlling unauthorised or accidental use of energy.
To perform service and maintenance work on industrial equipment safely, you must understand the importance of energy control and the current regulations - you must also know how to apply energy isolation and Lockout Tagout.

Locking Out Basic Steps........................
1-Turn off machine at control panel.
2-Lock the panel, store key safely.
3-Shut off power at main power isolator.
4-Put padlock on main power isolator - one key, per lock. Switch power on.
5-Tag the lock identifying date, time and person locking out.
6-Release stored energy from system. Several types of energy may be left after power is turned off. The written lockout procedure should note a complete list of all secondary energy sources, e.g. hydraulic (fluid under pressure), pneumatic (air under pressure) or kinetic.
The machine should now have no energy left in it.
