Group Lockout/Tagout Requirements
Can servicing or maintenance be performed by a crew,
department, or other group under this standard?
- Yes. If they have been properly trained and the energy control program
is followed
[29 CFR 1910.147(f)(3)(i);
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)].
What procedures must be followed that, when a group is
performing servicing and/or maintenance, will offer group employees the same
protection that the standard provides to individual employees?
- Protection must be utilized which affords the employees a level
of protection equivalent to that provided by the implementation of a personal lockout or
tagout device
[29 CFR 1910.147(f)(3)(i)].
- Primary responsibility for a set number of employees working
under the protection of a group lockout or tagout device must be vested in a single
authorized employee [29 CFR 1910.147(f)(3)(ii)(A)].
- If there will be more than one crew, department, or group
involved in the activity, a single authorized employee must be designated to coordinate
affected workforces and to ensure continuity of protection [29 CFR 1910.147(f)(3)(ii)(C)].
- Each authorized employee must affix a personal lockout or tagout
device as required in the standard when work begins and remove it when work is completed [29 CFR 1910.147(f)(3)(ii)(D)].
