Lockout-Tagout

Unexpectedly starting-up or releasing stored energy from building equipment and systems can cause serious personal injuries or fatalities.

EH&S establishes minimum requirements for lockout and tagout of energy-isolating devices to avoid unwanted releases of hazardous energy during servicing, maintenance, or modification activities.

Make sure all machine safe guards are in place at all times so that moving parts are not a danger to you and other workers nearby. If machine safety guards are removed due to maintenance ensure that Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols are closely followed.
