**LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURE AND CHECKLIST**

> *For construction and service contractors, when the 110/208V T
> (technical panels **ONLY** must be locked out, an authorized FMS
> employee, AES-CFG employee or Floor Coordinator must apply the first
> lock.*

A.  **Prerequisites**

> 1\. Full knowledge of ES&H Manual Section 7.1, *Control of Hazardous
> Energy and Lockout/Tagout*.
>
> 2\. Training is up to date. Required Courses are: ESH114, ESH"114PR,
> ESH371, and ESH75 (NFPA 70E).
>
> 3\. Full knowledge of equipment or system to be shut down.
>
> 4\. Authorization by division management to perform lockout/tagout.

B.  **To initiate lockout/tagout, follow the procedure below. Check off
    steps as they are completed.**

> 1\. The Floor Coordinator or AES-CFG employee must identify all energy
> sources and disconnect switches, valves, or other energy-isolating
> devices that control the supply of energy to the equipment to be
> locked out. If there is more than one source of energy, a complex
> equipment specific procedure is required. The type and magnitude of
> energy and associated hazards must be identified. Refer to up-to-date
> diagrams, schematics, labeling, and drawings as appropriate to
> identify these energy sources and hazards. **The Floor Coordinator
> will not do a complex lockout. The complex lockout with be referred to
> AES-CFG.**
>
> 2\. The Floor Coordinator or AES-CFG employee must notify the affected
> employees about power to be shut off, work in progress and/or work to
> begin under lockout/tagout; this notification can be verbal.
>
> 3\. If the equipment is operating, an employee who is qualified for
> the equipment under normal
>
> operating conditions must shut it down following standard procedures
> and ensure that controls are returned to the "OFF" position.
>
> **\*\*\*\*\*\*NOTE: Steps 1 -- 3 must be performed by The FC or
> AES-CFG employee before calling FMS if FMS is going to perform the
> lock out. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\***
>
> 4\. The Floor Coordinators, AES-CFG or FMS must disengage all energy
> sources to the equipment
>
> using energy-isolating devices and supply facility lockout of a
> circuit that a construction or service contractor will be working on.
> The facility lockout is applied first.
>
> [    ]{.underline} 5. Each ANL employee who is to work on the
> equipment must place a lock on the energy-isolating devices with
> approved locks obtained from the nearest lockout station or from the
> FMS lockout station. Each lock removed from the station must be
> registered in the station log book. Construction and Service
> contractors must supply their own locks which can not be a Master red
> banded lock. Multiple lock tongs will be used when more than one
> individual is working on the deenergized system. A danger lockout tag
> must accompany each lock and indicate the identity of the employee(s)
> applying the locks and the date applied. The individual who applies a
> lock on a lockout device must control the key to that lock until the
> lock is removed. Attempt to operate the device/disconnect(s) to verify
> that the lock(s) prevents its operation.
>
> [  ]{.underline} 6. All stored energy must be dissipated where
> possible or restrained by blanking, grounding, etc. Prior to starting
> work on the equipment that has been locked out, the employees who are
> to work on the equipment must collectively verify that it is isolated
> and deenergized. This can be accomplished by testing start/stop
> controls and/or by visual inspection of energy-isolating devices
> (e.g., blades, blanks). When a possibility of direct exposure to
> electrical components or wiring exists when performing the work, an
> NRTL-listed voltage tester or multimeter meeting the requirements of
> Section 7.1.19 must be used by a qualified electrical worker to test
> each phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground combination to ensure the
> electrical energy is off (zero electrical energy verification). Proper
> PPE per NFPA 70E must be worn when conducting this step as if the
> electrical power were on. The three-point testing methodology must be
> used: test instrument, test circuit, retest instrument. **Caution:
> Auto-start switches must be reset to neutral or off position after the
> test.** When required, ground the electrical system to eliminate
> induced voltage and/or to ensure dissipation of stored energy.

4\. **NOTE:** The equipment is now locked and tagged, and ready to be
worked on.

C.  **Release from Lockout/Tagout**

> [  ]{.underline} 1. When work is complete, ensure that all controls
> are returned to "OFF," all tools are removed, and all personnel are
> clear of the equipment before start of unlocking procedures. Remove
> any grounding that was applied.
>
> [  ]{.underline} 2. Notify the affected employees that power will be
> restored.
>
> [  ]{.underline} 3. The locks and tags must be removed by the
> individuals who installed them.
>
> [  ]{.underline} 4. Restore power and place the machine or system back
> into service.
>
> [  ]{.underline} 5. Locks must be returned to the lockout station and
> the logbook entry completed.
