Lockout Tagout Devices

When it comes time for a company to review its lockout tagout procedures, some
groups think that new devices and stickers are all that's needed to meet federal
regulations. These devices may help warn your employees about the energy build up
that's associated with each machine, but they are a far cry what OSHA requires. The
engineers at ESC Services, Inc. are always on top of the newest lockout tagout
devices and know how to integrate them into a final product that will pass inspection.

There are a variety of devices available that apply to the lockout tagout procedure. For
example, each year as the production process changes new breaker and fuse
lockouts will need to be added to the machines. ESC will help determine which new
devices are required and how to make these changes in the most cost effective way.

Lockout Tagout Devices Are Only Part of the Process

A company may have added all of the necessary breakers, ball valves and wall switch
lockouts, but the new lockout tagout procedure must be updated to incorporate these
changes. Every time a lockout tagout device is added to equipment, the workers
responsible for that machine should update the procedure. Lockout tagout systems
are an ongoing process, not a yearly maintenance project.

ESC Services, Inc. understands that a lockout tagout system is an investment. These
procedures must be updated and maintained to reflect the yearly changes to a
process. An ESC updated lockout tagout system protects employees and equipment.
