Lockout Tagout Policy

A strict lockout tagout policy protects workers during maintenance and emergencies.
The OSHA has strict guidelines for which pieces of equipment in a manufacturing
plant require a lockout tagout system. Failure to meet these regulations can net heavy
fines and also send a negative message about safety to your employees. ESC
Services, Inc. works on lockout tagout systems across the country and understands
the policies required by federal law.

Most lockout tagout violations are due to a misunderstanding of the requirements of
the system and not problems with the policy. OSHA regulation 1910.147 states that
individual machines must have lockout tagout procedures developed specifically for
them. Many lockout tagout violations occur when the system is updated, but the
procedure is not.

Strong Lockout Tagout Policy to Stop Violations

ESC Services, Inc has developed its own policy of "no more lockout tagout violations".
Working with the plant's safety teams, ESC develops top of the line lockout tagout
procedures and policies. Once the system is developed and posted, ESC can
continue to support the lockout tagout system by offering training sessions to
employees or returning for yearly audits of the systems. Compliance is guaranteed
with an ESC system.
