Standardized procedures in lockout tagout stations are designed to mitigate risks and prevent hazards. They outline the necessary steps to isolate and de-energize equipment, ensuring the safety of employees working on or near the equipment. By following standardized procedures, employees can identify potential hazards, select and apply the appropriate lockout devices, and verify the effectiveness of the lockout before commencing any maintenance or servicing activities. Standardized procedures provide a systematic and comprehensive approach to risk reduction, minimizing the chances of accidents, injuries, or equipment damage.
