Due to the professional logistics equipment, a lot of maintenance work are not employees can complete internal logistics, tend to be outsourced to equipment manufacturers or designated after-sales company, this involves the head and the contractor to determine which activities need to perform Lockout tagout procedures, and all energy points of lock factory logistics staff must be held responsible, The contractor is only responsible for putting up his own personal locks and tags.
In the process of executing Lockout tagout, all relevant personnel should not only strictly abide by the procedure requirements themselves, but also pay attention to the safety of other work partners. For example, when all personnel come out from the internal operation of logistics equipment and their locks have been removed, they find that there is still a personal lock on the interlock switch or lock box. Be sure to contact the relevant department or contractor’s supervisor according to the personal card to make sure everyone is safe.
