Press Release Body =
Onboard Lockout - Tagout. DVD/VHS.
Onboard Lockout-Tagout depicts real-world lockout-tagout procedures aboard vessels
ranging from harbor tugs to super tankers. Lockout-tagout refers to the set of
procedures that is essential for protecting personnel, vessels and the environment
from damage caused by the inadvertent operation of onboard systems. Lockout ensures
that mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and pressure systems cannot be
accidentally energized when personnel are in harm\'s way or equipment is at risk.
Tagout alerts other crewmembers as to the status of a machine or system, about why
it has been taken out of service, and the identity of the individual who has applied
the lockout. The program is sponsored by a team of vessel operators: Alaska Tanker
Company, Chevron Shipping, Crowley Marine Services and Foss Maritime Company. \"These
companies wanted a training resource that reflects onboard practice rather than the
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations that apply to
shoreside plants,\" according to producer John Sabella. \"We scripted it in
conjunction with the operations departments of the four companies, and photographed
working engineers practicing lockout-tagout aboard their vessels. The fact is, there
isn\'t a one-to-one correlation between the shoreside and at-sea workplaces, and up
until now, there hasn\'t been a program on lockout-tagout that treats the subject
matter from a marine perspective. Now, vessel personnel have an educational resource
that demonstrates good shipboard practice in a maritime context.
