Lockout Basics: Dead Means Verified

Name: Lockout Basics: Dead Means Verified
Brand: ToolboxYear
Price: 4 USD
Availability: InStock

One toolbox talk, one page, ready to print. The sign-in sheet is on the same sheet as the talk, so the meeting and your training record are one piece of paper.

Machines don't hold grudges, they hold energy. Electric, hydraulic, air, springs, and gravity all wait quietly while you reach in, unless somebody locked them out and proved them dead.

Talk it through

Before working on equipment, kill the energy and lock it with your own lock. Your lock, your key, your life.
Verify dead: hit the start button, test the circuit, try the controls. Locking out without verifying is a guess with your hands in it.

3 more talking points are on the sheet.

Walk the job

Find where locks and tags live on this job. If a task this week needs lockout, name who's doing it and how it gets verified.

Ask the crew

What equipment here could start or move while somebody's working on it?
Who's actually done a lockout on this site, walk us through it?

Reference printed on the sheet: OSHA 1910.147 and 1926.417, control of hazardous energy
