4. If the Customer does not have a Lockout/Tagout procedure then Penn’s Lockout/Tagout
procedure for Stationary Engines, Fire Pumps, Generators (stand by or prime power) and
Switch gear shall be followed.

SEQUENCE OF LOCK OUT:

1. Turn all engine or equipment controls to off position and tag out all engine or equipment control
switches. (Note: some equipment has more than one start switch or location and could be in other areas,
or remote locations.
2. Disconnect starting circuits from engine and lock out wherever possible unless restricted either by Life
Safety codes, Customer operational requirements, or where disconnecting batteries will cause loss of
electronic memory.
3. If switch gear inspection /service is required:
a) Turn engine control switch(es) off
b) Disconnect power to equipment
c) Lockout and tagout all related circuit breakers
d) Test equipment with volt-ohm meter to verify the power is off before proceeding
with the service.

RESTORATION TO NORMAL:

1. After service or maintenance is complete, check the area to ensure that no employees are
exposed.
2. Remove all tools and repair equipment.
3. Ensure that all guards have been replaced and all safety interlocks reactivated (if so equipped).
4. Verify that the operating controls are in the "off" or neutral position.
5. Remove all lockout and tag devices and activate the energy isolation devices to restore energy.

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
actually 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.
