NSC releases draft lockout/tagout standard for public comment
The National Safety Council's new proposed voluntary lockout/tagout standard, titled "Control of Hazardous Energy - Lockout/Tagout and Alternative Methods," is now available for formal public comment.
The proposed standard, developed by the Accredited Standards Committee on Control of Hazardous Energy (Z244), represents the first revision to the existing standard, "American National Standard for Personnel Protection - Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources - Minimum Safety Requirements Z244.1," which was approved in 1982.
