 Photos shown in this presentation may depict situations that are not in compliance
with applicable OSHA/MSHA/FHWA requirements.
 It is not the intent of the content developers to provide compliance-based training in
this presentation, the intent is more to address hazard awareness in the construction
and mining industry, and to recognize the overlapping hazards present in many
workplaces.
 It should NOT be assumed that the suggestions, comments, or recommendations
contained herein constitute a thorough review of the applicable standards, nor
should discussion of “issues” or “concerns” be construed as a prioritization of
hazards or possible controls. Where opinions (“best practices”) have been expressed,
it is important to remember that safety issues in general and jobsites specifically will
require a great deal of site- or hazard-specificity – a “one size fits all” approach is not
recommended, nor will it likely be very effective.
 No representation is made as to the thoroughness of the presentation, nor to the
exact methods of remediation to be taken. It is understood that site conditions vary
constantly, and that the developers of this content cannot be held responsible for
safety problems they did not address or could not anticipate, nor those which have
been discussed herein or during physical presentation. It is the responsibility of the
employer, its subcontractors, and its employees to comply with all pertinent rules
and regulations in the jurisdiction in which they work.
 It is assumed that individuals using this presentation or content to augment their
training programs will be “qualified” to do so, and that said presenters will be
otherwise prepared to answer questions, solve problems, and discuss issues with
their audiences.
 Areas of particular concern (or especially suited to discussion) have additional
information provided in the “notes” section of slides throughout the program…as a
presenter, you should be prepared to discuss all of the potential issues/concerns, or
problems inherent in those photos particularly.

Only the employee who placed the lock and/or tag
A supervisor, after obtaining permission from the
worker who placed the tag
Equipment already has a lock and tag on it. Do I have
to place my own locks & tags?

YES. everyone
working on
equipment must
place their own
locks and tags
All contractor employees must follow our LOTO
procedures!
Performed or witnessed someone doing work without
locking out
Disconnecting device is too far away or not
convenient
Worker by themselves and felt no need to lockout
Not wanting to shut down equipment
Use proper lockout - tagout procedures

Please be careful when working on

equipment
