4. Group Lockout
Before the work begins, the lockout procedure will be reviewed with each group
member. One authorized employee will be designated as responsible for the lockout.
If more than one department, shift, etc, is involved, one authorized employee
will coordinate the lockout to ensure that all control measures are applied and
that there is continuity of protection for the group.
Each authorized employee will affix a personal safety lock to the group lockout
device and will remove their lock when she/he stops working on the machine or
equipment. Each lock must have that person's name affixed to it
