Abstract:
OSHA proposes to issue safety requirements for the control of
hazardous energy sources, as a new 1910.147. This proposal addresses

hazardous energy while maintenance activities are being performed.
The standard would supplement and support the existing
lockout/tagout provisions by providing comprehensive and uniform
procedures for use where no other standard specifies the use of a
lockout/tagout procedure.
