guards and/or devices assure employee protection from unexpected machine component energization during set-up procedures, the standard at 29 CFR 1910.147 would not be applicable. However, if such protection is not assured and it is your intent to provide for compliance with the lockout/tagout standard through implementation of the enclosed set-up procedure, our review identified serious deficiencies. In order to provide further guidance regarding your obligations under the new lockout/tagout standard we offer the following information. The standard at 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4) requires that procedures be developed, documented and utilized for the control of potentially hazardous energy. The procedures must clearly outline the scope, purpose, authorization, rules and techniques to be used. The procedures must identify each specific equipment and it's unique energy isolation requirements. (Generic procedures are permitted for similar equipment.) Energy isolation devices must be identified as well as the procedures for shut-down, lockout/tagout and deenergization verification. Operators who are required and/or permitted to engage in maintenance/servicing functions requiring lockout/tagout are designated as "authorized employees" and must receive comprehensive training regarding the mandatory procedures for lockout/tagout as required at 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7). Prior to beginning maintenance/servicing operations, the equipment must be deenergized and locked-out or tagged-out as required at 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(5), (c)(7), and (d). All potentially hazardous energy sources must be deenergized, therefore all pressurized air supplies (air lines), or other energy sources, must also be controlled. In the event that a tagout procedure is to be used, the standard requires more extensive procedures than those required if lockout is used. Please refer to 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(2),(c)(3),(c)(5), and (d)(4). A copy of the standard is enclosed. If we may be of further assistance please contact us. Sincerely, Gerard F. Scannell Assistant Secretary Enclosures 7-5
OSHA Standards Interpretation and Compliance Letters 03/08/1991 - The obligations and responsibilities of machine manufacturers under the lockout/tagout standard. • Record Type: Interpretation • Standard Number: 1910.147 • Subject: The obligations and responsibilities of machine manufacturers under the lockout/tagout standard. • Information Date: 03/08/1991 March 8, 1991 Mr. A. R. Grif Chief Draftsman Production and Machinery Corporation P. O. Box 898 Mentor, Ohio 44060 Dear Mr. Grif: This is in further response to your letter of December 17, 1990, concerning the obligations and responsibilities of machine manufacturers under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's standard entitled "the Control of Hazardous Energy Sources (Lockout/Tagout)," (29 CFR 1910.147). 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(2)(iii) states, "After January 2, 1990, whenever major replacement, repair, renovation or modification of machines or equipment is performed, and whenever new machines or equipment are installed, energy isolating devices for such machines or equipment shall be designed to accept a lockout device." This standard requires energy isolation devices for the described machines or equipment to be designed to accept a lockout device. We believe that this standard may be enforced by OSHA against both the owner/operator and the designer/manufacturer, all of whom would therefore be subject to citations and proposed penalties. However, OSHA has not yet established a policy or procedure to enforce the standard against the designer/manufacturer. As a builder and supplier of coil strip processing machinery, you are of course obligated to provide protection for your own employees as required in the lockout/tagout Standard. Copies of pages 36644 through 36696 of the Federal Register Volume 54, No. 169, are enclosed per your request. In addition, we are enclosing the corrections and amendments to this standard, publishing on September 20, 1990. Your interest in workplace safety and health is appreciated. Sincerely, Gerard F. Scannell Assistant Secretary 7-6
