Additional Training (Tagout System)
What additional training is required when tagout systems are
used?
Employers must train employees in the following limitations of
tags
[29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(ii)]:
- Tags are essentially warning devices affixed to energy isolating
devices and do not provide the physical restraint on those devices that is
provided by a lock
[29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(ii)(A)].
- When a tag is attached to an energy isolating means, it is not to
be removed without authorization of the authorized person responsible
for it, and it is never to be bypassed, ignored, or otherwise
defeated [29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(ii)(B)].
- Tags and their means of attachment must be made of materials which
will withstand the environmental conditions encountered in the workplace
[29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(ii)(D)].
- Tags may evoke a false sense of security and their meaning needs to be
understood as part of the overall energy control program
[29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(ii)(E)].
- Tags must be securely attached to energy isolating devices so that
they cannot be inadvertently or accidentally detached during use
[29
CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(ii)(F)].
