ObjectivesObjectives• After this module you should be able to– identify the most common energy hazards– take the necessary steps to avoid those
hazards

Energy HazardsEnergy Hazards• Energy that is not isolated at its source• Stored energy• Accidental re-energization of equipment• Not controlling the key for your own lock• Maintenance and service on live electrical
equipment• Energy disconnects not labeled• Damaged extension cords• Extension cords without grounding prongs• Extension cords not GFCI-protected• Overhead powerlines

What is Lockout/Tagout?What is Lockout/Tagout?• Lockout/tagout (LOTO) is a physical means
of stopping the flow of energy (whether electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc.) from the energy source to the equipment and ultimately to the worker
• Lockout/tagout prevents the unexpected startup of the equipment or release of stored energy from the equipment during maintenance or servicing of the equipment

Sequence of LockoutSequence of Lockout1. Notify all affected employees2. Identify energy sources3. Shut equipment down4. De-activate the energy isolating devices5. Lockout the energy isolating devices6. Dissipate or restrain stored or residual
energy7. Verify energy isolation

Re-Energizing EquipmentRe-Energizing Equipment1. Check equipment and immediate area2. Ensure all employees are clear3. Verify that controls are in neutral4. Remove lockout devices and re-energize
the equipment5. Notify all affected employees

mud pumps are one example of equipment that must be locked and tagged out before maintenance or servicing
follow your company’s lockout/tagout procedures for the specific equipment to be worked on
![Page 8: Hazardous Energy](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681634d550346895dd3e7ab/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

lockout/tagout equipment must be provided
use only approved locks and tags when performing lockout/tagout
![Page 9: Hazardous Energy](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681634d550346895dd3e7ab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

a proper lockout/tagout setup for a single authorized employee

10
Additional ConcernsAdditional Concerns• During third-party or outside contractor
operations, the employer’s shall decide which company’s lockout policy to use
• During group lockout, each worker must put a lock on the lockout device
• During a shift change, the level of protection provided by lockout/tagout necessary to protect workers must be maintained

What Electricity Can DoWhat Electricity Can Do• 1 mA = 1/1000 Amp• A small drill uses 2.25 Amps– 1 mA = perception level, slight tingling– 5 mA = slight shock, not painful– 6-30 mA = painful shock, can’t let go– 50-150 mA = extreme pain, respiratory arrest– 1-4.3 Amps = ventricular fibrillation, death likely– 10 Amps = cardiac arrest, probable death
![Page 12: Hazardous Energy](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681634d550346895dd3e7ab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Electrical ProtectionElectrical Protection• Electric power tools must have a true
ground or be double insulated• Extension cords must be rated for
commercial outdoor use• Extension cords must have a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) connected– it can be hard wired into the circuit or you
can attach a portable GFCI [below]

13
damage of an extension cord through the outer jacket, exposing the conductors and ground wire
Corrective Action: this cord must be taken out of service (note that minor cuts or nicks are allowed)
![Page 14: Hazardous Energy](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681634d550346895dd3e7ab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
an extension cord with the ground plug missing
Corrective Actions: cut into pieces and discard this cord; replace with a grounded extension cord
![Page 15: Hazardous Energy](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681634d550346895dd3e7ab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
cables can become damaged with nicks, cuts, etc.
these cables are chained up to reduce the possibility of damage
![Page 16: Hazardous Energy](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681634d550346895dd3e7ab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

this is a good example of properly labeled electrical components
all electrical disconnects should be labeled accordingly

Electrical Hazard CluesElectrical Hazard Clues• Clues that electrical hazards exist– tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses– warm tools, wires, cords, connections, or
junction boxes– GFCI that shuts off a circuit– worn or frayed insulation around wire or
connection

overhead powerlines are a constant threat to equipment and trucking operators
Corrective Action: you, your equipment, and materials should stay at least 10 feet away from overhead powerlines
![Page 19: Hazardous Energy](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681634d550346895dd3e7ab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

If You Contact a PowerlineIf You Contact a Powerline• The equipment you are operating and the
ground around it is energized• Stay in the equipment if possible• Warn all others to stay away• Notify the power company immediately
![Page 20: Hazardous Energy](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681634d550346895dd3e7ab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
If You Contact a PowerlineIf You Contact a Powerline• If you must get out of the equipment– keep both feet together at all times– hop or shuffle out of the area

Revisions to NFPA 70ERevisions to NFPA 70E• As a result of the injuries and deaths related to
arc flash, changes/additions have been incorporated into the National Fire Protection Association publication number 70E, the most recent version being NFPA 70E-2004.1. qualified persons only2. arc flash analysis3. personal protective equipment4. ppe according to standard5. ppe with proper arc flash rating

Arc FlashArc Flash• Arc flash results from an arcing fault,
where electric arcs and resulting radiation and shrapnel cause severe burns, hearing damage, and eye injuries
• To minimize risk– switch remotely if possible– stand aside and away as much as possible– avoid touching switchgear or metallic
surfaces– use proper tools and ppe
