Product Overview
This Lockout and Tagout Procedure is a ready-to-use, professionally drafted work health and safety document designed specifically for Australian workplaces. It provides a comprehensive, step-by-step framework for controlling hazardous energy during installation, maintenance, servicing and repair of plant and equipment.
Developed with electrical and solar, manufacturing and production, mining and resources, automotive and mechanical, plumbing and gasfitting, and air conditioning and refrigeration sectors in mind, this procedure helps you put robust isolation controls in place that align with Australian WHS legislation and relevant standards.
By implementing this procedure, your business can significantly reduce the risk of electric shock, entanglement, crushing, burns, explosions and other serious incidents associated with uncontrolled energy.
Key Features
- Clear, practical step-by-step lockout and tagout process from planning through to re-energisation.
- Detailed guidance on managing electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal and chemical energy sources.
- Specific examples tailored for solar PV systems, production machinery, mining conveyors, vehicle hoists, gas lines and HVAC-R plant.
- Defined roles and responsibilities for managers, supervisors, authorised persons and workers.
- Guidance on group lockout, complex isolations and coordination during shutdowns.
- Procedures for tag-only situations and controlled removal of locks when a worker is unavailable.
- Built-in checklists and table structures to support consistent WHS documentation and record keeping.
Benefits
- Strengthens WHS compliance by aligning your isolation practices with Australian legislation and codes of practice.
- Reduces the likelihood of serious incidents caused by unexpected start-up or release of stored energy.
- Saves time by providing a complete, editable procedure you can quickly adapt to your operations.
- Supports induction, training and competency assessment for electricians, fitters, mechanics and technicians.
- Improves safety culture by setting clear expectations around lockout and tagout behaviour.
- Provides defensible safety documentation to support audits, inspections and incident investigations.
Who is this for?
- Electrical and solar contractors, including those working on PV, battery storage and industrial electrical systems.
- Manufacturing and production facilities operating presses, CNC machines, conveyors and automated lines.
- Mining and resources operations managing fixed and mobile plant, crushers, screens and conveyors.
- Automotive and mechanical workshops using vehicle hoists, pits and diagnostic equipment.
- Plumbing and gasfitting businesses working with gas lines, hot water systems and pumps.
- Air conditioning and refrigeration contractors servicing chillers, compressors and central plant.
- Safety managers, WHS advisors, HR and compliance personnel responsible for safety documentation.
Legislation & References
This Lockout and Tagout Procedure is structured to support compliance with Australian work health and safety laws, including the Work Health and Safety Act and Work Health and Safety Regulation in the relevant jurisdiction. It reflects guidance from Safe Work Australia Codes of Practice, such as Managing the Risks of Plant in the Workplace and Managing Electrical Risks in the Workplace.
The document also references key Australian Standards commonly applied in high-risk industries, helping you demonstrate a systematic approach to hazardous energy control and WHS compliance across your operations.
