Natural Gas
Propane
Hydrogen
Cleaning Solvents
What is LEL and UEL
Lower explosive limit
upper explosive limit
where gasses are no longer combustable
Can apprentices lock out
they cant initiate lock out but they can add locks
Steps for lock out (4)
Identify the equipment to be shut down
Test the controls to turn off equipment, wait until it comes to a stop
Identify the correct electrical source and disconnect it
Plugged in equipment Circuit breakers Safety switch disconnect
Put your personal lock on the switch using a scissor adapter…lock should include
a. Name, date, time location and identity of equipment
What is the left hand rule
Stand to the right of the switch
Turn your head to the right, incase the fuse blows

Check the voltage with a voltmeter or voltage tick
If fuses are used pull the fuses

When its not in your line of sight
When do you use a key box
