Overview
What this RAVS document does
Lockout tagout is the procedure that keeps equipment safely de-energized while a worker services it. Hiring clients require a lockout tagout answer because the consequences of a missed isolation are severe.
This document states your company's lockout tagout program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: identification of energy sources, the lockout and tagout procedure, the devices used, verification of a zero-energy state, group lockout, and worker training. Each point ties back to Part 10 of the BC OHS Regulation. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
