A new book recently released by the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) provides a "how-to" in developing and applying a comprehensive energy control program to reduce injuries from high-energy equipment.

"Lockout/Tagout: A Practical Approach," by Stephen M. Kelley, CSP, CHMM, is a practical handbook for dealing with OSHA's standard 1910.147 Control of Hazardous Energy, which requires that high-energy equipment be de-energized when workers are present.
