OSHA Adopt! Pows Tool Rulco

Employers are now required by OSHA to "lockout" or "tagout" equipment such as power saws and drills used in building supply sales areas befiore beginning mqior servicing to prevent accidental startup.

The new standard demands machines be locked or otherwise disabled during the "constructing, installing, setting up, adjusting, inspecting, modifying and maintaining or servicing," including lubricating, cleaning and unjamming, in which workers "may be exposed to the unexpected energization or startup of the equipment or release of hazardous energy."

Equipment without lockout capability must be "tagged out," by securing a tag that must be removed to operate the machine. All new equipment must be "designed to accept a lockout device."

Minor adjustments do not require lockout if other safety procedures provide sufficient protection.

The regulations also require annual inspections and regular training of employees.
