Lockout Tagout OSHA Safety Training
The lockout/tagout standard requires that hazardous energy sources be
"isolated and rendered inoperative" before maintenance or servicing work
can begin. These energy sources include electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic,
mechanical, thermal, chemical, and the force of gravity. It is important
to remember all of the energy sources must be "isolated and rendered
inoperative." Overlooking an energy source has proved fatal on several occasions.
