CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS ENERGY

Normal Production Operations

OSHA also recognizes that some servicing operations must be performed with the power on. One example is making fine adjustments, such as centering the belt on conveyors. Another example would be certain aspects of troubleshooting, such as identifying the source of the problem as well as checking to ensure that it has been corrected.

OSHA requires the employer to provide effective protection for employees performing such operations, even though a power-on condition is essential either to accomplish the particular type of servicing or to verify that it was performed properly.

However, lockout or tagout procedures are required when service or maintenance occurs with the power off.
