Lockout Tagout OSHA     

Each year, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cites
manufacturing plants for lockout tagout violations. These violations are most often
due to an incorrect understanding of the lockout tagout requirements. ESC Services,
Inc. has been helping companies meet OSHA standards for years and knows exactly
what is required of a lockout tagout system.

Many safety workers do not realize that there must be a machine-specific procedure
for lockout tagout. One of the reasons the OSHA cites lockout tagout violations is
because the procedures have not been properly updated. Changes are made on the
machinery that makes the process run smoother, but lockout tagout procedures aren't
updated to show these changes.
