The primary objective of a lockout/tagout program is to prevent release of
hazardous energy while employees perform services and maintenance activities
on machines or equipment (Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part
1910.147). Lockout/tagout procedures violations are on OSHA’s list of “Top
10 Most Often Cited Violations” and “Top 10 Most Serious Violations.”
The regulations dictate that the lockout/tagout procedure must always be
followed, with no exceptions. These procedures are critical to control
hazardous energy sources and to avoid serious physical harm or death. An
effective lockout/tagout program can help protect workers by properly
shutting off or de-energizing machines until the work is complete. A good
lockout/tagout program starts with EN Consulting.
EN Consulting takes a unique approach to creating lockout/tagout procedures
by carefully evaluating clients’ needs and creating solutions that deliver
safety. Our team of experts travels to each client site to visually evaluate
the equipment and determine the best solutions. When the procedure is
complete, clients can be assured they have the proper training and tools
needed to maintain their equipment. Our team members review existing
policies and make recommendations to improve safety and compliance. We also
ensure safety programs meet OSHA’s regulations to avoid violations.
Training employees about workplace safety requirements is time and money
well spent. An effective safety training program can result in fewer
injuries, better morale, and reduced production downtime. A zero accident
goal represents a commitment to protect your most important resource…your
people. In 2011, 2012, and 2013, we achieved our goal of zero recordable
accidents, and our continued goal is to ensure that employees at no time
suffer work-related injuries at ENTRUST Solutions Group or at our client
locations
