That\u2019s not a bad thing. Machines help us do our work faster, more efficiently and more affordably than we ever could before. But, those machines can be dangerous and even deadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, a worker in Houston, Texas, was repairing a baler when someone decided to use the machine. Without knowing that the worker was repairing the machine, the employee turned it on. The result was a fatality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why didn\u2019t that employee know that his coworker was inside the machine? How could this have been prevented?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is by using a proper lockout tag as part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/control-hazardous-energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lockout\/Tagout<\/a> program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-lockout-tagout\">What Is Lockout\/Tagout?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1990, OSHA enacted the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/laws-regs\/regulations\/standardnumber\/1910\/1910.147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Control of Hazardous Energy standard<\/a>, also known as \u201cLockout\/Tagout&#8221; or LOTO. The idea is fairly simple. Any machine that is broken, being worked on, or for any other reason poses a threat if it is turned on or releases stored energy, should have a tag and lock that prohibit anyone from inadvertently engaging the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lockout refers to using a lockout device to ensure that the machine cannot be used while it is being worked on or not functioning properly. Tagout refers to the placing of a tag on the machine stating that it is not to be used until the tag is removed by the person who put it on. This prevents anyone from taking it upon themselves to try to remove the lock and fire up the machine. With proper training, lockout\/tagout program procedures have been proven to reduce injuries and save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Establishing an Effective Lockout\/Tagout Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to protecting your employees with a LOTO program is to understand OSHA\u2019s guidelines. Then, survey your worksite for any and all machines and situations that may require appropriate LOTO precautions. Some key situations you\u2019ll want to look for include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Machines with moving parts<\/strong> &#8211; When someone has to enter or repair a machine with moving parts like welding heads, saws, robotic arms or similar mechanisms, those parts represent dangerous potential energy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Electrical repairs<\/strong> &#8211; Electricity is, by definition, energy. When working on electrical components, it\u2019s essential to implement a LOTO program to ensure the worker\u2019s safety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Machines with missing, clogged, or damaged parts<\/strong> &#8211; When a part of a machine isn\u2019t working, it may seem easy enough to just reach in and fix it or get it loose, but without proper LOTO, that part could trigger the machine to get into motion causing injury to the worker trying to fix it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The next is to make sure you have all of the materials you need, including the appropriate locks and lockout tags for your business. This could include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.compliancesigns.com\/catalogsearch\/result?q=lockwraps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>padlock labels<\/strong><\/a>, as well as required tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that\u2019s easy to overlook is your lockout tags. If your first thought is, \u201cI think we have some around here somewhere,\u201d that\u2019s not good enough. Consider the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do you know if you have all of the appropriate lockout tags including tags in Spanish or other languages as needed?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are your tags clean and in good shape? A tag that\u2019s hard to read is not a viable option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are your tags organized so you can find the one you need?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to know that you have the right tags and where to find them when you need them or else your lockout\/tagout program simply won&#8217;t work and your employees could be put in danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Lockout Tagout Tags<\/h3><table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><a title=\"Locout Tagout Photo Tag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.compliancesigns.com\/pd\/osha-danger-do-not-operate-my-life-is-on-the-line-tag-cs719729\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.compliancesigns.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/l\/o\/lockout-tagout-tag-cs719729_150.gif\" alt=\"LOTO Tag with Worker Photo\" width=185\" height=\"185\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><a title=\"Do Not Remove Lock\" href=\"https:\/\/www.compliancesigns.com\/pd\/osha-danger-lockout-tag-of-do-not-remove-tag-cs699903\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.compliancesigns.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/l\/o\/lockout-tagout-tag-cs699903_150.gif\" alt=\"Danger Do Not Remove This Lock LOTO Tag\" width=185\" height=\"185\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><a title=\"Equipment Locked Out\" href=\"https:\/\/www.compliancesigns.com\/pd\/osha-equipment-locked-out-lockout-tag-cs420668\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.compliancesigns.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/o\/s\/osha-electrical-warning-tag-cs420668_150.gif\" alt=\"OSHA Danger Equipment Locked Out LOTO Tag\" width=185\" height=\"185\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><a title=\"Do Not Operate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.compliancesigns.com\/pd\/tags-by-the-roll-osha-do-not-operate-this-lock-tag-may-only-be-removed-by-safety-tags-cs184564\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.compliancesigns.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/m\/a\/machine-safety-tag-cs184564-150.gif\" alt=\"OSHA Danger Do Not Operate LOTO Tag\" width=185\" height=\"185\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Organized<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Find a way to keep your tags and locks organized. Set aside one area in your workplace for safety materials. Avoid the temptation to toss all of your tags into one drawer so that when you need one you have to sift through a hoard of used, faded and irrelevant tags just to find the one you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One simple solution for ensuring that you have the right tags ready and available when you need them is to order Tags by the Roll. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.compliancesigns.com\/products\/safety-tags\/tag-haulers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tags by the Roll portable tag dispenser<\/a> box contains a roll of safety tags. The dispenser box protects tags until they are needed and makes it easy for safety managers, service personnel and machine operators to transport and access tags on the job. Tags by the Roll can be stored on shelves, on a rod or carried throughout a facility on a belt or cart as part of your lockout\/tagout program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you determine which tags you use the most, order Tags by the Roll for each one, establish a storage area for them and set them up. You\u2019ll never have to dig through drawers or tool boxes again hunting for the tag you need. It\u2019s one less thing to worry about and a simple way to improve your LOTO safety program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This Is Just the Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your lockout tags are just one part of an effective lockout\/tagout program, but they are an essential part. Without the proper tags there is no communication and that creates a dangerous situation for your employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re striving to minimize injuries in your workplace (and who isn\u2019t), you owe it to yourself and your employees to get organized with your lockout tags so you know that you\u2019ll have the tags you need, in good shape, when you need them.<br>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lockout \/ Tagout Program Resources:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/laws-regs\/regulations\/standardnumber\/1910\/1910.147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OSHA Lockout \/ Tagout Standard<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/control-hazardous-energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OSHA Control of Hazardous Energy page<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/control-hazardous-energy\/program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lockout \/ Tagout Program Examples<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.compliancesigns.com\/products\/safety-tags\/tag-haulers\">Browse Tags by the Roll at ComplianceSigns.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Machines play a big part in your business.
