LOCKOUT
Locking out — safety precautions
16.14(1) Subject to subsections (3) and (4), when a machine is serviced,
repaired, tested, cleaned, maintained or adjusted, an employer must
ensure that no worker performs work on the machine until it has
come to a complete stop and the worker performing work on the
machine has
(a) locked out the machine and removed and rendered safe any
hazardous condition; or
(b) otherwise rendered the machine inoperative in a manner that
prevents reactivation and provides protection that is equal to, or
greater than, the protection provided by clause (a).
16.14(2) An employer must ensure that a worker does not perform work on a
machine that is to be serviced, repaired, tested, cleaned, maintained
or adjusted until
(a) the machine is tested to ensure that it is inoperative; and
(b) the worker is assured that it is inoperative.
16.14(3) An employer must develop and implement safe work procedures for
the service, repair, testing, cleaning, maintenance or adjustment of a
machine when
(a) the manufacturer’s specifications require the machine to
remain operative when it is serviced, repaired, tested, cleaned,
maintained or adjusted; or
(b) there are no manufacturer’s specifications and it is not
reasonably practicable to lockout the machinery when it is
serviced, repaired, tested, cleaned, maintained or adjusted.
16.14(4) When it is not reasonably practicable to lockout the machinery when
it is serviced, repaired, tested, cleaned, maintained or adjusted, an
employer must ensure that the safe work procedures developed in
subsection (3) offer protection to a worker that is equal to or greater
than the protection provided by a lockout procedure.
