Example of a group lockout procedure – the group lockbox variation.
n Step 1 A designated, authorized employee in the group secures each
energy-isolating device with a personal lock.
n Step 2 The same designated, authorized employee places the key that
fits each lock in a group lockbox with a multilock hasp.
n Step 3 The other authorized employees in the group secure the
lockbox – they attach their personal locks to the box – before
beginning their service work.
n Step 4 After each employee finishes service work on the equipment,
that employee removes his or her personal lock from the lockbox.
n Step 5 After all the employees have finished their service work and
removed their personal locks from the lockbox, the designated,
authorized employee who placed the key in the box removes it.
n Step 6 The designated, authorized employee uses the key to remove the
lock from each energy-isolating device.
