Identification and Evaluation of
Energy Sources and Related Hazards
Lockout/Tagout Definitions
• Energy Source - any source of electrical,
mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical,
thermal or other means of power.
• Energized - connected to an energy source or
containing residual or stored energy.
• Normal Production Operations - the utilization
of a machine or equipment to perform its
intended production function.
Lockout/Tagout Definitions
• Setting Up - any work performed to
prepare a machine or equipment to
perform its normal production function.
• Hot Tap - a procedure which involves
welding on a piece of equipment under
pressure to install connections or
equipment.
Lockout/Tagout Definitions
• Other Employee - employees who enter an area
where lockout/tagout procedures are used.
• Affected Employee - a person whose job
requires him/her to
– Operate or use a machine or equipment on
which servicing or maintenance is being
performed under lockout or tagout; or
– Whose job requires him/her to work in an area
where servicing/maintenance is being
performed.
Lockout/Tagout Definitions
• Authorized Employee - a person who locks
or tags out machines or equipment in
order to perform servicing or maintenance
on that machine or equipment.
– An affected employee becomes an authorized
employee when that employee’s duties include
performing servicing or maintenance under
lockout or tagout conditions.
