54-5-7: MORE THAN ONE EMPLOYEE PROCEDURE:
In addition to the preceding steps, if more than one individual is working on the same equipment, all are required to lockout equipment. Each shall place his or her own personal lockout device on the energy isolating device or devices. When an energy isolating device cannot accept multiple locks or tags, a multiple lockout device shall be used. If lockout is used, a single lock may be used to lockout the machine or equipment with the key being placed in the lockout box or cabinet which allows the use of multiple locks to secure it. Each employee will then use his or her own lock to secure the box or cabinet. As each person no longer needs to maintain his or her lockout protection, that person will remove his or her lock from the box or cabinet. (2019 Compilation)
