Lockout/Tagout: 2 Points of Safety
Today we're gonna talk about lockout tagout kit. Uh, one of the things we want to do is keep one of these kits on the cart. The safety of your personnel should be your top priority. In our case, you know, we want to lock out the pump when we're working on the drain. Could lock out the individual breakers to what equipment we're working on, and also we can lock out the complete box.
Not only want to do this, but we also want to do two points of. Safety head over to the pool, pump room, or next to the pool pump. And we want to go ahead and lock out that disconnect. So we found the disconnect to the pool pump, and we're gonna go ahead and we want to have another point of safety. So we'll pull the disconnect and we'll go ahead and lock it out.
These are two points of safety real quick that you want to do. Whenever you're working on equipment that's energized, can be energized by other personnel, the distraction comes into play. You're working on a system, you know the grounds guy comes in there, he's working on the pool, and he decides to go in the pump room 'cause the pool's not, pump's not on, and he flips it on himself.
And you're down there working, or any other equipment that you have, energized, AC unit. Um, you just always want to check and double check your work and make sure you have a lockout kit on you and you, uh, lock out whatever you're working on.
