Lockout / Tagout Permit

Energy control procedure and lock log — one equipment, one lockout

Complete before work begins and keep at the equipment until every lock is off. Basis: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147. At a customer site, follow the customer’s procedure; this form records what was done. Locks and tags are used for nothing else and are never removed by anyone but the person who applied them.
