PART 85. THE CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS ENERGY SOURCES

R 408.18501 Scope.

Rule 8501. (1) These rules establish minimum requirements for the

machines, equipment, or a process during repair, maintenance, and associated

activities, from injury due to unexpected/unintended motion, energization, start-up, or

release of stored energy from the machine, equipment, or process.

for the lockout/tagout of energy sources in any other general industry safety standard,

the provisions of these rules and the requirements specified in any other general

industry safety standard rule shall be deemed to have concurrent application. Where a

specific provisions set forth in the general industry safety standard shall prevail if

there is a conflict with the requirements set forth in these rules.
