Hazardous Energy Source "Lockout/Tagout" program explains the basic procedures and terminology and general requirements. Control of hazardous energy sources is a requirement that organizations must implement for the safety of all employees. Before this requirement was released in September of 1989, organizations used the lockout and tagout procedures to protect employees from machinery and equipment hazards during maintenance and repair. Control of hazardous energy sources is the new concept with new requirements for the previous lockout/tagout program.
