OSHA Standards Interpretation and Compliance Letters 08/30/1991 - Lockout/Tagout for circuit breaker blocking and locking devices. • Record Type: Interpretation • Standard Number: 1910.147 • Subject: Lockout/Tagout for circuit breaker blocking and locking devices. • Information Date:08/30/1991 August 30, 1991 Mr. Steven J. Benda President Block-Out Products, Inc. P.O. Box 782 Cokato, Minnesota 55321 Dear Mr. Benda: This is in response to your letter of July 1, in which you request an opinion regarding compliance with 29 CFR 1910.147 (Lockout/Tagout) for your circuit breaker blocking and locking devices. You enclosed literature on both your single pole model and multipole device, as well as your explanation of the products. We apologize for the delay in responding. A review of the literature and your explanation of the products revealed the following concern. It was noticed on the multi-pole device that a standard electrical tie wrap is being used as part of a lockout device. This does not meet the intent of 1910.147(c)(1) which states, "Lockout devices shall be substantial enough to prevent removal without the use of excessive force or unusual techniques, such as with the use of bolt cutters or other metal cutting tools." We do not feel that a standard electrical tie wrap meets this criteria. Due to constraints placed on OSHA we can neither endorse nor approve products in advance that are to be used in industry, since through improper installation or misuse, the products may not protect employees as intended. Your interest in workplace safety and health is appreciated. Sincerely, Patricia K. Clark, Director Directorate of Compliance Programs 7-9
OSHA Standards Interpretation and Compliance Letters 06/30/1993 - Cord and plug connected electric equipment. • Record Type: Interpretation • Standard Number: 1910.147 • Subject: Cord and plug connected electric equipment. • Information Date:06/30/1993 June 30, 1993 Ms. Cheryl A. Hansen, Librarian Engineering Systems, Inc. 3851 Exchange Avenue Aurora, Illinois 60504 Dear Ms. Hansen: This is in response to your April 7 letter which requested an interpretation of 29 CFR 1910.147(a)(2)(iii)(a) as to what "under the exclusive control of the employee" means with respect to cord and plug connected electric equipment. "Under the exclusive control of the employee" means that the authorized employee would be able to prevent the equipment from becoming reenergized during his or her servicing or maintenance of that equipment. The plug is under the exclusive control of the employee if it is physically in the possession of the employee, or within arms reach and in line of sight of the employee, or if the employee has affixed a lockout/tagout device on the plug in compliance with the 29 CFR 1910.147. Thank you for your interest in occupational safety and health. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us. Sincerely, Roger A. Clark, Director Directorate of Compliance Programs 7-10
