Equipment Specific Lockout Tagout Procedures

Federal regulations of lockout tagout require that each individual machine have its
own lockout tagout procedures. Before beginning any work on lockout tagout, a
company should examine each of its pieces of equipment and look for general
lockout tagout steps. ESC Services, Inc. helps its clients determine which lockout
tagout steps are generic to each piece of equipment so that it can develop general
procedures before starting on machine specific information.

While equipment specific lock out tagout procedures will meet all regulations, they
have a greater goal for each company. An accurate and easily understood procedure
created by ESC, coupled with employee training, will greatly reduce injuries and
equipment damage. ESC is the industry leader in creating and updating safe and
efficient lockout tagout procedures.

Equipment Specific Lockout Tagout Procedures Including
Generic Steps

In the event an emergency on the manufacturing floor, a company should feel
confident that its employees are trained to properly lockout and tagout certain
machines. Employees also need the confidence that a simple, yet comprehensive,
lockout tagout procedure builds. ESC Services, Inc. works with your employees to
develop, check and post both general and equipment-specific instructions.

OSHA regulations for lockout tagout procedures require equipment specific
