FAQs

This checklist specifically addresses the ANSI/ASSE A10.44 standard, which covers lockout/tagout and control of hazardous energy for construction and demolition operations.

Lockout/tagout procedures should be audited at least annually, with additional reviews whenever new equipment is introduced or procedures are modified.

The checklist covers areas such as energy control procedures, employee training, lockout/tagout devices, equipment-specific procedures, group lockout processes, and periodic inspections of energy control procedures.

An authorized employee who is knowledgeable about the ANSI/ASSE A10.44 standard and not directly involved in using the energy control procedure being inspected should conduct the audit.

By ensuring proper implementation of lockout/tagout procedures, this checklist significantly reduces the risk of injuries and fatalities associated with the unexpected release of hazardous energy during equipment maintenance, repair, or servicing activities on construction and demolition sites.
