Many new PV systems with battery storage are AC coupled, meaning the battery bank has its own multimode inverter with one AC circuit connected to stand-alone loads. This increases resiliency but also complexity in maintenance and LOTO. To fully deenergize the system, both the PV interactive inv...
As outlined in the statute, OSHA requires the use of machine specific lockout/tagout procedures for each piece of equipment that fails to meet all eight elements of the exemption criteria outlined within the statute. The first lockout procedures were simple and text-based in nature, meaning that...
A machine that has been locked in this manner may have a tag attached to it indicating that the machine is under service and the locks are not to be disturbed. Sometimes, in special cases, tags are used without a lockout device, providing a “tag out” but not a “lockout” of the ...

Applying lockouts during maintenance is intended to avoid accidental energy release, whereas tagging them out keeps employees aware of what is going on with the machine. In spite of regulations, serious accidents continue to occur due to lapses during lockout and tagout (LOTO) applications. Few ...
