Lockout Tagout for marine and maritime industry: Marine industry requires a different set of standards for Lockout Tagout because the equipment found on ships, vessels or tankers are much different than those found in other general industries.
OSHA has developed guidelines for controlling hazardous energy specifically for the maritime industry. It is commonly referred to as the Lockout Tagout Plus standard for maritime industry. The guidelines include information from the general industry standard for controlling hazardous energy and also contains requirements specific to shipyard workers and servicing large, complex systems with multiple power sources.
Machinery, equipment, and systems found aboard a ship, vessel or tanker are substantially different from those found in landside facilities of general industry. They often lack individual disconnect or cutoff mechanisms that provide complete isolation from other machinery. Because of this difference, a Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Plus system must consist of at least one energy isolating device with a tag affixed to it, and at least one additional safety measure that provides the equivalent safety available from the use of a lockout padlock. The guidelines also require that the authorized employee tag the energy isolating device, or devices, to warn others not to re-energize the equipment and take steps to make certain the energy has been isolated effectively.
Lockout devices should be designed to be placed on switches, cabinets, valves, levers, outlets, handles, plugs, and other locations in order to control sources of energy. They must be constructed of sturdy material that can withstand the environment in which they are used. The lockout padlocks must be marked, and not used for any other purposes.
The Lockout Tags must communicate danger and have a warning, such as Do Not Start, Do Not Open, Do Not Close, or Do Not Energize. They must be constructed to withstand the environment in which they are used.
