New or Modified Equipment
All new machines and equipment, or all machines and equipment that undergo major repair, renovations or modification, must be equipped with energy-isolating devices capable of accepting a lockout device.
Whenever replacement or major repair, renovation or modification of a machine or equipment is performed, and whenever new machines or equipment are installed, energy isolating devices for such machine(s) or equipment must be designed to accept a lockout device.
That's about it for a discussion of the basic components of the ECP. Remember, make sure all three components have been developed and deployed. If OSHA comes inspecting, they will not cut you any slack when it comes to the LOTO program because if something goes wrong, a serious injury or fatality is likely to result.
