PROGRAM INSPECTION & REVIEW
At least annually, the Program Coordinator will verify the effectiveness of the energy control
procedures. These inspections shall provide for a demonstration of the procedures and may be carried
out through random audits and observations.

The inspector will review the Lockout/Tagout procedure with all authorized employees and will
observe the use of the procedure. This inspection will be documented.

These inspections are to ensure that the energy control procedures are being properly used and to provide a
check on the continued adherence to the procedures. Any deficiencies will be corrected immediately,
either by modification of the procedure, retraining of employees or a combination of both.
