 Whenever any work needs to be completed on a machine, the equipment must be de-energized prior to performing any maintenance on the equipment. A safety procedure known as Lockout Tagout is performed to ensure that hazardous machines can in no way be turned on prior to maintenance, preventing any unintended movement during such service. An employee will place a lock and tag on the equipment's energy source so the equipment can't be energized while the work is being performed on the machine. Failure to follow these procedures could result in injury to you or a fellow employee.
