Other employees:All employees who are or may be in an area where energy control <br /> procedures may be utilized. <br /> Capable of being locked out: An energy-isolating device is considered capable of being <br /> locked out if it: <br /> o Is designed with a hasp or other means of attachment to which a lock can be <br /> affixed. <br /> o Has a locking mechanism built into it. <br /> o Can be locked without dismantling, rebuilding, or replacing the energy-isolating <br /> device or permanently altering its energy control capability. <br /> Energized: Machines and equipment are energized when they are connected to an <br /> energy source or they contain residual or stored energy. <br /> Energy-isolating device: A mechanical device that physically prevents the transmission <br /> or release or energy, including but not limited to the following:A manually operated <br /> electrical circuit breaker; a disconnect switch; a manually operated switch by which the <br /> conductors of a circuit can be disconnected from all ungrounded supply conductors and, <br /> in addition, no pole can be operated independently; a line valve; a block; and any similar <br /> device used to block or isolate energy. Push buttons, selector switches and other control <br /> circuit type devices are not energy isolating devices. <br /> Energy source:Any source of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, <br /> thermal, or other energy. <br /> Lockout:The placement of a lockout device on an energy-isolating device, in accordance <br /> with an established procedure, ensuring that the energy-isolating device and the <br /> equipment being controlled cannot be operated until the lockout device is removed. <br /> Lockout device: Any device that uses positive means, such as a lock, blank flanges and <br /> bolted slip blinds,to hold an energy-isolating device in a safe position, thereby <br /> preventing the energizing of machinery or equipment. <br /> Normal production operations: Utilization of a machine or equipment to perform its <br /> intended production function. <br /> Servicing and/or maintenance: Workplace activities such as constructing, installing, <br /> setting up, adjusting, inspecting, modifying, maintaining and/or servicing machines or <br /> equipment, including lubrication, cleaning or un-jamming of machines or equipment, <br /> and making adjustments or tool changes,where employees could be exposed to <br /> unexpected energy to the equipment; or startup of the equipment; or release of <br /> hazardous energy. <br /> County of San Joaquin Dept of Public Works IIPP Rev 2020-01-31.docx <br /> Page 64 <br />
