| 1. |
Confirm with all stakeholders the circuit to be LOTO’d |
Wrong circuit being de-energized causing a safety concern or loss of production |
Confirm on the description of this MOP, with appropriate approval signatures, of the correct circuit(s) being de-energized |
| 2. |
Disconnect main circuit feed (i.e. breaker, disconnect, etc) |
Arc flash |
Gown up in 12cal arc flash gear |
| 3. |
Confirm zero voltage |
Wrong circuit is disconnected or mislabelled identifier |
1. Still suited in the arc flash gear 2. Using a voltmeter, confirm functionality with separate voltage generator 3. Check line to line, line to neutral, line to ground to confirm zero voltage |
| 4. |
Install LOTO device |
Inadvertent de-energizing of circuit and fatal consequences |
LOTO device is to be labelled with person’s name, contact number. LOTO key is to remain with person at all times |
| 5. |
For multiple parties working on a circuit a group LOTO box will be used |
Circuit may be energized while other members are working |
A single LOTO will be used on the disconnecting means, the key to this lock will be placed inside a group LOTO box. Each member and future members will place their personal lock on this box |
| 6. |
Perform work on de-energized system |
Sharp edges, loud noises, heavy lifting |
Wear all appropriate PPE for the task at hand and use partner for lifting objects over 50lbs |
| 7. |
Remove personal LOTO |
Removing someone else's LOTO could result in fatal consequences |
Forcefully removing someone else's LOTO can only be performed with the verbal consent of the lock owner with verification of person's location |
| 8. |
Energize circuit |
Arc flash |
Gown up in 12cal arc flash gear |
| 9. |
Test for correct voltage |
Arc flash |
Still in arc flash gear. Using a voltmeter, confirm functionality with separate voltage generator. Test line to line, line to neutral, line to ground. |
