Why Control Hazardous Energy?
Hazardous energy must be controlled in order to keep people safe. We maintain control by locking out equipment.
Your personal safety lock will protect you from these types of hazardous energy.
• chemical energy
• electrical energy
• hydraulic energy
• pneumatic energy
• thermal energy
• radiation
• kinetic energy/stored energy
• potential energy (gravity)
• mechanical energy
6
Two Forms of Hazardous Energy
1. Primary energy is the energy (e.g. electricity) which flows into a system from outside.
2. Stored energy is energy that (remains) build up in system and is present even after primary energy sources have been isolated.
7
• A danger zone is the area around a machine or process (i.e., front, back, sides, top and bottom) where a hazard is created by the motion of the machine components, or by energized equipment or by stored energy.
• Access to the danger zone may be required to complete specific repetitive operational tasks, during maintenance tasks, inspection, or when guards must be removed for the completion of a task.
What’s a Danger Zone?
8
Two Ways of Controlling Hazardous EnergyThere are two ways to control hazardous energy to make a danger zone safe for entry:
1. Isolation: uses a mechanical isolating device to physically prevent the energy flow (e.g. circuit breaker, disconnect switch, valve, block, pin, or blanking flange). A lock is applied to the isolating device.
2. Control reliable interrupt: uses control power to interrupt the flow of energy to a process, equipment, machine or device. A personal lock is applied to a switch or interlocked access gate mechanical latch device.

• Every employee who is required to lock out will be issued at least one personal safety lock.
• YOU will NOT personally isolate any live equipment.• All isolations will be performed by trained and
competent employees.• No employee will work on equipment or enter an
area secured with another person’s lock.
Personal safety locks must be: • Individually keyed or keyed alike;• Supplied with one unique key; • Long shanked;• Identified with name of user and either
their department or perm number on the lock or on a tag, and;
• Used only by person identified on the tag

4-Step Isolation ProcessAn isolation is achieved only when the following four steps are complete:
Step 1Isolation
Step 2Locking
Step 3Dissipation
Step 4Verification
Isolating applicable components of the machine from all power sources
Locking the device in the isolated (safe) position
Dissipating or restraining any stored energy
Verifying isolation effectiveness (i.e., checking or testing that all hazardous energy is eliminated or controlled).

You may be required to apply your personal safety lock directly to an isolation device. Example: This electrical disconnect switch is used to isolate electrical energy to equipment.
A trained and competent employee will perform the isolation (isolating the device in the designated ‘safe’ isolated position).
They first check the ID tag to ensure this is the correct isolation device.
Step 1Isolation
Here the electrical disconnect switch is placed in the “Safe” or “Off” position (open).

19
You can now attach your personal safety lock to the isolation device.
Step 2Locking

The procedure indicates there is no stored energy and no requirements to control or restrain this equipment.
Step 3Dissipation

21
They test the isolation by pushing the “Start” button.
The competent person will demonstrate how to test the isolation. Here they check inside the window to see that the knife blades are fully separated.
With your lock on the isolation device, you are now safe to work.

Group Isolations(Use of Lock Box)
This is a lock box with many personal safety locks attached.
This is used when there are multiple devices in the field which need to be locked out.
Lock Box Process
24
The Lock Affixer follows an approved isolation procedure
and isolates all devices...
Then a “Lock Verifier” repeats the steps checking that all isolations are complete.
In group isolations, a “Lock Affixer” and a “Lock Verifier”
(who must be trained and competent), perform multiple
isolation device lock outs using the 4 steps of isolation.
Both the “Lock Affixer” and “Lock Verifier” complete an ELOR “Equipment Lock Out Report” documenting all steps and then sign and date it.
25
Lock Box Process(Simulation staged in L&D workshop)
Once the isolation is complete, the ELOR and the key(s) to the multiple lock set are handed off to the person designated to be the “LOCK BOX CONTROLLER”.
The key(s) are placed inside a designated lock box …
… and the completed, signed and dated ELOR is also placed inside the lockbox so it is easily readable.
The lock box is closed and the Lock Box Controller places their personal safety lock on the box.
A best practice is to put the Lock Box Controller lock in the ‘red zone’.
This is always the first lock on the box and will be the last lock off. No one will be able to access the key(s) inside the box until a Lock Box Controller removes this lock.
26
Lock Box Isolations – YOUR ROLE
Lock Box Controller’s Lock on Lock Box
Check the ELOR to ensure the isolation
device for YOUR task is included
Check that ELOR has been completed and signed by a Lock Affixer and Lock
Verifier
Now you can attach YOUR personal safety lock to the box.
Key visible and identifiable inside
the Lock Box.
27
YOUR Personal Safety Lock
If YOU are going to perform work under the approved isolation procedure, you must check the ELOR to ensure that the isolation device(s) in YOUR procedure matches the device(s) listed on the ELOR.
You must also verify that the lock set key is visible and identifiable inside the lock box …
Once this is done, you can attach your personal safety lock to the lock box.
YOU are now safe to start working.
… and that the Lock Box Controller lock has been applied.
ELOR (Equipment Lockout Report)
28
You are now safe to workThe lockbox now cannot be opened and the key(s) to the multiple lock set(s) cannot be removed until ALL personnel and the Lock Box Controller have removed their locks from the lockbox.
If a lock box is found unlocked with the key(s) inside, the isolation is “void”. Work MUST stop and an accident investigation conducted.
Stop. Challenge. Choose.

Test Questions
Personal Lock Applications
What is a ‘Control Reliable Interrupt’?• A control reliable interrupt uses an engineered system to isolate control
power to control the sources of hazardous energy of a system, equipment, machine or device (e.g. light switch).
• These engineered safety circuits are used when frequent access is required into a “danger zone” to perform regular, repetitive tasks. A standard isolation may be impractical or time consuming.
31
Control Reliable Interrupts (CRI’s)(Simulation staged in L&D workshop)
32
To enter the danger zone, the“Request to Enter” position is
selected.
Once all hazardous energy has been controlled, the “Safe to Enter” light will come on …
… and the gate will automatically unlock (green LED on the lock will turn on)
The mechanical latch on the gate can now be opened
33
To enter the ‘danger zone’, you must first apply your personal safety lock … either
On the safety gate mechanism … OR
… on the “Request to Enter” switch on the panel
You are now safe to enter the area and begin work

Test Questions
Personal Lock Applications
Remove Your Lock !!!!!!
• At the completion of the job, or at the completion of your shift (if the job lasts longer than one shift), remember to remove your lock.
• Personal safety locks shall NOT be removed other than by the person named on the lock.
• If you forget to remove your lock and it is absolutely necessary that the equipment be used, local Leadership will attempt to contact you to return to work to remove your safety lock.
• If you are unable to return to work and remove your safety lock, a special written “Lock Removal Process” must be followed. Approval from appropriate levels of the local Leadership is required before a personal safety lock may be cut off.
