Tags do not provide the same degree of protection as locks and to be effective, must never be bypassed, ignored, or otherwise defeated. Affected Personnel (Store/Club Associates) Affected Personnel should understand this policy and its purpose, and should follow these guidelines: • Never attempt to start a machine or piece of equipment that is locked out or tagged out of service. • Never attempt to remove or alter a lock or tag that has been placed on a machine that is being serviced. • Report to a salaried member of management if a tag is damaged, unclear, or illegible. • Ask a salaried member of management if you have any questions about this process. Outside Contractors When outside contractors are involved in service and/or maintenance of our lockout/tagout covered equipment, follow these steps: • Walmart management must obtain from the contractor its lockout/tagout procedures. , • Facility management must inform the contractor of the following: o Walmart store/club associates do not meet the qualifications of Authorized Personnel (except those authorized to service the Auto Care Center/TBC air compressors) o The contractor must utilize their own lockout/tagout equipment o The contractor must effectively and timely communicate with store management regarding the status of services pro- vided, including, but limited to: De -energizing and re -energizing of equipment Prior notification about lockout/tagout of additional equipment as a result of the original scope of work Completion of work i Any failure by store/club associates to comply with the contractor's lockout/tagout program • Management should ensure that any affected associates are informed of and comply with the restrictions and controls of the con- tractor's lockout/tagout program. • Walmart is not responsible for the contractor's work procedures. Auto Care Center/TBC Authorized Personnel must use the lockout/tagout process whenever service, maintenance, and/or repairs are performed on a machine and injury could occur as a result of unexpected startup of or release of energy from the machine. In most cases, associates will place an Do Not Operate tag on equipment until repairs can be made and an outside contractor will repair the equipment, including, when needed, the use of LO/TO procedures while performing service and/or maintenance.. In a few instances associates may act as Authorized Personnel. This section describes the situations and procedures to be used in such instances. 1 0706 - Zephyrhills, Florida - 16592140 February 16, 2017 1 01351-46
