Purpose
What is the purpose of the standard?
- To prevent injury to servicing and/or maintenance employees due
to the unexpected energization or startup of machines and equipment, or release of stored
energy. [29 CFR 1910.147(a)(3)(i)].
How is this accomplished?
- Employers must establish an energy control program, consisting of
energy control procedures, employee training, and periodic inspections to ensure that
before service and maintenance is performed, machines and equipment that could
unexpectedly startup, become energized, or release stored energy, are isolated from their
energy source(s) and rendered safe
[29 CFR 1910.147(a)(3)(i);
(c)(1)].
