The “ Fatal Five ” • Main Causes of Lockout/Tagout Injuries : Failure to stop equipment before servicing 1. Failure to disconnect equipment from power source 2. Failure to dissipate (bleed, neutralize) residual energy 3. Accidental restarting of equipment 4. Failure to clear work areas before restarting 5. All injuries resulting from inadequate hazardous energy • control procedures can be prevented Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 4 Training Program

Types of Hazardous Energy • Mechanical – the potential energy and kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system • Kinetic – energy possessed by virtue of its motion • Common injuries: fracture, contusion, laceration, and amputation • Potential – energy stored by the mechanical system • Common injuries: fracture, contusion, laceration, and amputation • Electrical – energy as a result of a generated electrical power source or a static source • Common injuries: shock, burns, and electrocution • Thermal – energy as a result of mechanical work, radiation, chemical reaction or electrical resistance • Common injuries: burns Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 5 Training Program

Types of Hazardous Energy, continued • Chemical -- energy released as a result of chemical reactions • Common injuries: burns • Hydraulic – energy released as a result liquids under pressure • Common injuries: and contusions • Pneumatic – energy released as a result of compressed gasses under pressure • Common injuries: burns and contusions Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 6 Training Program

What is Lockout-Tagout? • Lockout-Tagout is a hazard avoidance technique used to prevent energy from being accidentally released during the servicing of equipment • The Lockout-Tagout standard requires the adoption and implementation of written practices and procedures to: • Shut down equipment • Isolate it from its energy source or sources • Prevent the release of potentially hazardous energy while maintenance and servicing activities are being performed Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 7 Training Program

Energy Control Program – 3 Core Components • Energy control procedures that detail the scope, purpose, authorization rules and techniques to be utilized for the control of hazardous energy • Periodic inspections of the energy control procedures to ensure that the procedures and the requirements are being followed • Employee training and ongoing retraining to ensure that the energy control programs are understood Inspections Training Written Procedures Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 8 Training Program

Lockout-Tagout Procedures are Required IF … • A worker must remove or bypass machine guards or other safety devices, or • A worker is required to place any part of their body into a point of operation or into the danger zone associated with the machine's operation • Examples of activities where proper Lockout-Tagout procedures would be required include • Installing • Lubricating • Cleaning and un-jamming machines or equipment, and • Making adjustments or tool changes Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 9 Training Program

Definition of Players ❑ Authorized employee: An employee who locks or tags machines or equipment in order to perform servicing or maintenance ❑ Affected employee: An employee who is required to use machines or equipment on which servicing is performed under the Lockout/Tagout standard or who performs other job responsibilities in an area where such servicing is performed ❑ Other employees: All employees who are or may be in an area where energy control procedures may be utilized Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 10 Training Program

Responsibilities of Authorized Employees • Identify all energy sources • Notify all affected employees in the area of work • Shut down the equipment at the operating controls • Isolate all energy sources to equipment • Lock and tag all isolating devices • Dissipate all stored or residual energy sources. • Verify the isolation • Remove lock and tag when repair and testing are complete • Notify all affected employees that lock and tag were removed Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 11 Training Program

Responsibilities of Affected Employees • Never interfere or tamper with a lock or tag • Stay clear of the area as much as possible • Never attempt to assist • Report any unusual situation or unsafe condition to your supervisor Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 12 Training Program

Energy Isolation Devices A mechanical device that physically prevents the transmission or release of energy such as … • Circuit breakers; • Disconnect switches • Line valves • Slide gates • Blind flanges NOTE: Push buttons, selector switches and other control circuit type devices are not energy isolating devices Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 13 Training Program

Types of Lockout Devices • Keyed and combination locks • Ball valve locks • Gate valve locks • Group lockout hasp • Circuit breaker locks • Valve hand wheel cover Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 14 Training Program

Lockout Device Requirements Devices Must... • Be capable of withstanding the environment to which they are exposed • Be singularly identified • Be the only devices used for controlling energy • Not be used for other purposes • Be standardized within the facility in terms of color, shape, or size. • Indicate the identity of the employee applying the devices • Prevent removal without the use of excessive force or unusual techniques Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 15 Training Program

Tagout Requirements Tagout must be … • Be capable of withstanding the environment to which they are exposed • Able to withstand corrosive environments such as areas where acid and alkali chemicals are handled and stored • Standardized in print and format • Substantial in order to prevent inadvertent or accidental removal • Able to be attachable by hand, self-locking, and non-releasable with a minimum unlocking strength of no less than 50 pounds • Inclusive of a legend such as: Do Not Start, Do Not Open, Do Not Close, Do Not Energize, Do Not Operate. Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 16 Training Program

Lockout vs. Tagout • If an energy-isolating device is capable of being locked out, a lock out system must be used • If an energy-isolating device is not capable of being locked out tagout may be used, provided training and more rigorous periodic inspections are implemented Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation 17 Training Program
