article retrieved from csu library in business source complete-- ISHN JANUARY 2017 www.ishn.com 2017 top standards History The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), 29 CFR 1910.147, standard was promulgated on September 1, 1989, Federal Register, Volume 54, No. 169 (pages 36644-36690), and was effective January 2, 1990, as announced Federal Register, Volume 54, No. 213, November 6, 1989 (page 46610). Why this standard is important Employees servicing or maintaining machines or equipment may be exposed to serious physical harm or death if hazardous energy is not properly controlled. Craft workers, machine operators, and laborers are among the three million workers who service equip -ment and face the greatest risk. Compliance with the lockout/tagout standard prevents an estimated 120 fatalities and 50,000 injuries each year. Workers injured on the job from exposure to hazardous energy lose an average of 24 workdays for recuperation. Hazards Workers servicing or maintaining machines or equipment may be seriously injured or killed if hazardous energy is not properly controlled. Injuries resulting from the failure to control hazardous energy during maintenance activities can be serious or fatal. Injuries may include electrocution, burns, crushing, cutting, lacerating, ampu-tating, or fracturing body parts, and others.

The standards establish requirements that employers must follow when employees are exposed to hazardous energy while servicing and
maintaining equipment and machinery. Some of
the most critical requirements from these stan
-
dards are outlined below:
• Develop, implement, and enforce an energy
control program.
• Use lockout devices for equipment that can
be locked out. Tagout devices may be used in
lieu of lockout devices only if the tagout pro
-
gram provides employee protection equivalent to
that provided through a lockout program.
• Ensure that new or overhauled equipment is
capable of being locked out.
• Develop, implement, and enforce an effective
tagout program if machines or equipment are not
capable of being locked out.
• Develop, document, implement, and enforce
energy control procedures. [See the note to 29

Procedures
A simple lockout procedure is provided to assist
employers in developing their procedures so they
meet the requirements of this standard. When the
energy isolating devices are not lockable, tagout may
be used, provided the employer complies with the
provisions of the standard which require additional
training and more rigorous periodic inspections.
When tagout is used and the energy isolating devices
are lockable, the employer must provide full employ

ee protection (see paragraph (c)(3)) and additional
training and more rigorous periodic inspections are
required. For more complex systems, more compre
