								Open, Do Not Start, Do Not Close and Do Not Energize
Y N N/A
C.
				  Inspection
Circle the Appropriate Answer
1. Are inspections conducted at least annually by
								an authorized person (other than the ones using the energy control procedures)
								to ensure control procedures are being implemented?
Y N N/A
2. Is each inspection certified by identifying:
a. the machine or equipment on which the energy
								control procedure was being used;
b. the date of the inspection; and
c. the person performing the inspection?
Y N N/A
D.
				  Training and Communication
Circle the Appropriate Answer
1. Is training provided and documented to ensure
								that:
a. the purpose and function of the energy control
								procedures are understood; and
b. the knowledge and skills required for the safe
								application and removal of energy controls are acquired?
Y N N/A
2. Is this training repeated periodically when
								changes or deviations occur in the energy control procedure?
Y N N/A
E.
				  Energy-Isolating Devices
Circle the Appropriate Answer
1. Are all energy-isolated devices operated only
								by authorized persons or under the direct supervision of an authorized person?
Y N N/A
F.
				  Notification of Employees
Circle the Appropriate Answer
1. Are all employees notified of the application
								and removal of lockout and tagout controls whenever such controls directly
								affect their work activities?
Y N N/A
G.
				  Application of Control
Circle the Appropriate Answer
1. Does the application of energy control follow
								the sequence listed below?
Step 1. Machine or equipment shutdown by
								authorized personnel.
Step 2. Machine or Equipment Isolation. All
								energy-isolated devices that are needed shall be located and operated in a
								manner that isolates the machine or equipment from the energy source(s).
Step 3. Lockout and Tagout Application
i. Lockout devices shall be affixed in a manner
								that will hold the energy-isolating device in a safe or off position.
ii. Tagout devices shall be affixed in a manner
								that clearly indicates that the operation or movement of energy isolating
								devices from the safe or off position is prohibited.
iii. If a tag cannot be affixed directly to the
								energy isolating device, the tag shall be located as close as safely
								permissible to the device, in a position that will be immediately obvious to
								anyone operating the device.
Step 4. Stored Energy. Following the application
								of lockout and tagout devices, all hazardous, stored, or residual energy shall
								be relieved, disconnected, restrained, or otherwise rendered safe.
Step 5. Verification of Isolation. Before starting
								work on the isolated equipment or process, an authorized person must verify
								that isolation and de-energization of the machine or equipment has been
								accomplished.
Y N N/A
2. Has the work area been inspected before the
								removal of lockout and tagout devices?
Y N N/A
3. Has the lockout and tagout device been removed
								by the person who put it on?
Note: This rule has some limited
								exceptions.
Y N N/A
4. Are outside servicing personnel informed of the
								lockout and tagout procedures before equipment is serviced?
Y N N/A
