Lock Out Tag Out
LOTO Performed
Food Safety Pre-Check
Machine Observation
Important Requirement
You MUST contact ADT and Cintas IT before turning off any power supplying critical IT systems/security systems.
ENERGY CONTROL PROGRAM
Perform LOTO in accordance with the LOTO Risk Assessment
Requirement
Locking out an electrical panel may affect the use of building lighting therefore arrangement should be made for alternate lighting while performing this PM.
Your location should have a copy of a current building electrical drawing or a one line drawing indication the location of the panels, voltages and safety protection areas.
It's recommended that this PM be completed by a licensed electrical contractor however this task can also be completed by a suitably qualified and knowledgeable Cintas maintenance partner.
IR Scan
Check the annual IR scans for any known issues.
Inspect enclosure and structures
Ensure that all enclosure panels, doors, and structures are well maintained in accordance with manufacturer's specification. (Appendix 1)
Inspect enclosure and structures
Check and clean all vents of dust and/or dirt accumulation.
Ensure all ventilation openings are not obstructed. Note: Do not use compressed air to remove dust.
Inspect enclosure and structures
Where seals and/or gaskets are installed, these should be examined and replaced/repaired as necessary.
Inspect Insulators, supports, and connectors
Inspect insulators, conductor supports of signs of cracking or broken pieces or any other physical damage/deterioration.
Inspect Insulators, supports, and connectors
Clean all loose dirt with lint-free rags. For contaminates that will not remove easily, a solvent approved by the manufacturer may be used. (Appendix 2)
Panels
Inspect internal panels connections for loose, worn, charred or burned parts.
Torque to the manufacturer's specification for the size of hardware fitted.
Panel Circuit Breakers
Examine for excessive wear of moving parts.
Check operating mechanism functions properly without binding or hanging.
Note: Ensure the mechanisms are only exercised according to manufacturer's recommendation.
Inspect enclosure and structures
Electrical equipment rooms or vaults should be clean of dirt and/or dust accumulation and well ventilated.
ENERGY CONTROL PROGRAM
Remove LOTO and place unit back in service.
Final Check
Ensure all circuits are live and that all breakers remain on as needed/applicable.
