Lift Lockout/Tagout Procedure
Purpose
This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the lockout of energy that could cause injury to
personnel by the operation of lifts in need of repair or being serviced. All employees shall comply with
this procedure.
Responsibility
The responsibility for assuring that this procedure is followed is binding upon all employees and service
personnel from outside service companies (i.e., Authorized Installers, contractors, etc.). All employees
shall be instructed in the safety significance of the lockout procedure by the facility owner/manager. Each
new or transferred employee along with visiting outside service personnel, shall be instructed by the
owner/manager (or assigned designee) in the purpose and use of the lockout procedure.
Preparation
Employees authorized to perform lockout shall ensure that the appropriate energy isolating device (i.e.,
circuit breaker, fuse, disconnect, etc.) is identified for the lift being locked out. Other such devices for
other equipment may be located in close proximity of the appropriate energy isolating device. If the
identity of the device is in question, see the shop supervisor for resolution. Assure that proper
authorization is received prior to performing the lockout procedure.
Sequence of Lockout Procedure
1) Notify all affected employees that a lockout is being performed and the reason for it.
2) Unload the subject lift. Shut it down and assure the disconnect switch is “OFF” if one is provided
on the lift.
3) The authorized lockout person operates the main energy isolation device removing power to the
subject lift.
 If this is a lockable device, the authorized lockout person places the assigned padlock on
the device to prevent its unintentional reactivation. An appropriate tag is applied stating
