Tagout users manual



 

On nuclear-powered ships, a separate tag-out log for each propulsion plant shall be maintained in addition to other ship's tag-out logs.

The electronic tag-out program maintains an index of line items. The binder for storing records produced from the electronic tag-out program shall be maintained in the vicinity of the computer terminal used by the Authorizing Officer.

The binder shall be marked appropriately. The binder shall be maintained in the following format: Part 1 - A copy of the Tag-out User s Manual. Part 3 - Active Tags to be Hung Sheets.

To differentiate between tag-out logs, a prefix system approved by the Commanding Officer shall be used with the log serial number. For example, on nuclear submarines, in order to differentiate between ship's tags and propulsion plant tags, ship's tags shall be prefixed S and propulsion plant tags P. Another example of tag-out prefixes is P1 for a propulsion plant tag-out in the first plant of a multi-plant ship.

This will indicate to users that a revision has been made to existing line items. Other variations such as alphabetic i. The line item index shall be used as the official index record.

There is no need to maintain a paper index in the tag-out log binder. For auditing purposes, the line item index may be printed to allow for remote auditing, but this index need not be maintained with the log binder.

Appendix D, Figures 10 and 11 provide a template for standardization of an audit record sheet. Forms produced by NAVSEA 04X approved automated tag-out systems are acceptable substitutes for all forms except tags required by this manual. Tags should normally be limited to the standard tags in Appendix D and Appendix K. Use line items: 1 For work or casualty isolation. When line items are used: 1 Use enough tags to prevent injury to personnel and damage to equipment by completely isolating the work area.

However, tags shall be attached to the fuse panel, racked out circuit breaker cabinet, or locked valve to indicate such action. These line items are both represented, and visible, to each other in the database and database reports will see all the components in both line items.

Ships that have more than one electronic tag-out databases, e. CVNs have one for Propulsion Plant and a separate one for non-propulsion plant may require isolation of components from both databases, and therefore multiple line items, for a single WAF. Since the components of these line items are not represented, or visible, in both databases, careful consideration and coordination is required to ensure all line items remain in a hanging status until Block 16 on the WAF Work Complete is signed.

The WAF is the only document linking the multiple line items since there is no visibility between the electronic databases. Use danger tags to prohibit the operation or removal of equipment that could jeopardize safety of personnel or endanger equipment, systems or components. Use caution tags to provide temporary special instruction s or to indicate that unusual actions must be exercised to operate equipment.

Caution tags must state the specific reason the tags are installed. A caution tag is not used if personnel or equipment can be endangered while performing evolutions using normal operating procedures.

A danger tag is used in this case. Any person having knowledge of a situation requiring tags or labels should request that they be issued and applied. Tags should: 1 Be removed as soon as possible after all line item s listing a component are cleared. Tags of color, size, and shape similar to danger or caution tags will not be used for any other purpose onboard ships or craft. NOTE: a. Use enough tags to completely isolate the system, piping, or circuit, being worked on and to prevent operation of a system or component from all stations that could exercise control.

As a minimum, system diagrams or circuit schematics shall be used, by preparers and reviewers, to determine the adequacy of all tag-out actions. If slight differences between the identifiers are noted, e. PUMP No. If doubt exists due to an incorrect or inadequate unique component identifier e. Appendix I provides the administrative procedures for naming components when creating, updating and maintaining the electronic tag-out program. Appendix F paragraph 5. Never hang a danger tag on a component without a proper label as described above.

Line items prepared for diver s operations shall follow the guidance of Appendix E Creating a Line Item. Evaluate if the danger tagged component is located in a high traffic area. If yes, take action per Appendix F, paragraph 3. Any qualified Ship s Force person may prepare line items. During shipyard Chief of Naval Operations CNO availabilities, the shipyard will normally propose the tagout to Ship s Force but not necessarily prepare the line items for shipyard work.

The following provides requirements for creating and updating line items. Existing databases that use a consistent line item numbering convention are not required to be changed to meet these requirements. If the 8. Line Item Numbering. The following numbering convention shall be used: Enter the work center, followed by square bracket [ , basic reason for tag-out, closed square bracket ] , description of maintenance, and today s date description and date optional.

The date is automatically added in etagout , followed by revision number. Once assigned, the line item number cannot be changed. Do not use apostrophes, quotes, colons or semi-colons in line item numbers as these are used by the electronic tag-out program as operators. This is for information and will not prevent issuing the line item.

If there is insufficient space, use the Reason field to enter additional required information and enter statement see Reason block. Perform a Conflict Check if a conflict is indicated with an issued tag. Perform a Conflict Check Un-Issued to determine if there are any conflicts between the line item being developed and other line items being prepared.

Conflicts with issued line items must be resolved before the Authorizing Officer issues the line item. In the case of a conflict with another un-issued line item, coordinate with the division responsible for the conflicting line item to resolve conflicts.

Maintenance requiring a component to be tagged in a different condition than the condition that it is already tagged will produce a tag conflict preventing issuing the new line item. This situation is managed in one of the following manners: a b c The new maintenance requiring a more restrictive condition may be delayed until all line items requiring the component to be tagged in a less restrictive condition are cleared.

The new tagged condition is less restrictive than the existing tagged condition e. The new line item may use the more restrictive tagged position. The new tagged condition is more restrictive than the existing tagged condition e. The process for transitioning a Component with a Tag 9. Prepare a line item for the new maintenance action per Paragraph Add the affected component to the line item tag list. Select the current tagged position e.

Add a new component to the database. The component name shall be the same as the original component plus locking device e. Add the new component to the line item.

Select the new more restrictive condition-position e. If the line item is not associated with any RA work, RA review of tags and line item is not required. After the line item is filled out, the Petty Officer In-Charge block is signed. The signer shall request another qualified person perform an independent review. Cross Check. These additional signatures must be entered prior to the Authorizing Officer issuing the line item Independent Reviews. The following steps apply to all independent reviewers: a.

A second qualified person shall independently determine the adequacy and accuracy of the line item and isolation. This individual shall ensure that enough tags are used to completely isolate the system, piping, or circuit being worked on or to prevent operation of a system or component from all stations that could exercise control. System diagrams or circuit schematics shall be used to determine the adequacy of all tag-out actions.

To concur with the line item as written, select the line that is to be signed. Electronically sign on for verification, and notify the next person in the verification chain. To reject the line item as written, note who prepared the line item, select Back to Draft etag-out , or select the last line that has been signed for in the "User" column, and electronically sign off the line item ESOMS. Notify the preparer that the line item has been rejected and give the specific reason for doing so.

The Commanding Officer may sign concurrence electronically when required or a user with the CO permissions and authorization could perform this signature. The line item shall then be presented to the Authorizing Officer Authorization a. When satisfied with the tag-out plan, the RA Representative shall sign the Repair Activity Rep block on the line item.

However, in all cases, the RA must review the line item and sign the Repair Activity Rep block of the line item. When more than one tag-out log is maintained, an exchange of information concerning tag-out actions is required between Authorizing Officers.

When tag-out actions affect another Authorizing Officer, the initiating Authorizing Officer will obtain verbal concurrence from each affected Authorizing Officer before taking tag-out action. Examples of systems that may require such coordination are: 1 Ship's service and high pressure air systems. To issue an active line item, open the line item to be issued and review all of the information in Verify that all requirements for first and second checking for line item initiators and cross checkers, if applicable have been completed.

Either concur with the line item as written or reject the tag-out back to the original writer as described in paragraph b. For Caution tags, also print the caution statement labels. The person assigned to post tags shall ensure: 1 The correct component is tagged. If component identification is missing, or has an incorrect or insufficient unique component identifier, post permanent identification, or post temporary identification per Appendix F, paragraph 5.

Never hang a danger tag on a component without a proper label as described in paragraph 1. Permission may be given at the time the line item is issued, or the Authorizing Officer may require permission be obtained just before the component is repositioned e.

For manual valves with a detent mechanism or other similar device, slightly move the valve operator not more than 5 degrees to verify proper engagement. For manual valves with a detent mechanism or other similar device, slightly For non-nuclear valves, installation of the locking device depends on the type of locking device and whether it restricts movement of the valve.

If the locking device will allow sufficient valve stem movement such that the checker can verify the locked valve s position and torque if applicable by attempting to turn it in the shut direction, then the poster may proceed with installation and verification of the locking device. If the locking device will not allow stem movement, a formal valve lineup or equivalent must be performed to ensure that two operators verify and document the valve s position and torque if applicable prior to installing the locking device.

For nuclear valves, the valve lineup procedure in reference f shall be followed to ensure that two operators verify the valve s position prior to installing the locking device. When tagging these valves, two operators shall go to positon the valve. Document the valve positioning using a two-party valve line up sheet annotating number of turns required for seating the valve.

One will position and soft-seat the valve and the other will witness the positioning and post the tag. If this is the case, inform the Authorizing Officer. If a component to be tagged has previously been danger-tagged i. There may be situations where a valve may have to be locked shut for one work item and only shut for a different work item. It is acceptable for both tags to be installed on the valve. A locking device installed on a valve that is tagged as shut is not a violation of this manual.

The Authorizing Officer shall perform a conflict check per paragraph e. The person posting the tags must post them such that they are apparent to anyone who may attempt to operate or remove the component. Tags shall be posted on breaker operators whenever possible. Tags must not be posted on fixtures adjacent to the item being tagged-out.

However, tags should be posted directly on circuit breakers and switches whenever possible. This is to ensure the tag is visible from both sides of the envelope.

If these locations are inappropriate for some reason, the tag may be attached to the valve yoke or bonnet or another readily apparent location. After tag posting is complete, a second person shall independently ensure that the correct component is tagged, and check verify proper component positioning and tag attachment. This checker shall not accompany the person s posting the tag.

The checker and witness shall be qualified on tag-outs and shall ensure proper positioning and tag attachment as follows: 1 For checking a danger tag on a component not currently tagged by another line item i.

For valves which are For electrical isolations, check for switch or breaker position or fuse removal. Evaluate whether the danger tagged component is located in a high traffic area. When a valve or switch position is specified, visually check, if possible, that the component is in its proper position. For manual valves with a detent mechanism or other similar device, where the locking device permits, slightly move the valve operator not more than 5 degrees to verify proper engagement.

After checking each component: 1 The checker shall sign the Person Checking Tag block of the tag. If during this visual verification the RA cannot verify the component position, or a question arises regarding component position, the RA shall, with the assistance of Ship s Force, follow the procedures in paragraph b 6 c for checking the position of a danger-tagged component.

Signatures on existing tag s are not required. All other requirements for the RA to verify the adequacy and accuracy of the tag coverage must be performed. When modifying a line item that was created prior to implementation of step c.

The Authorizing Officer is the final authority for commencement of work. The function for issuing iterative multiple tag sets in support of repeated tag-out Pre-reviewed repetitive line items can be established using the electronic tag-out program to help facilitate timely establishment of repeated isolation.

In those cases where the Commanding Officer or designated representative determines an on-scene Authorizing Officer using an iterative tag-out is required, the manual iterative tag-out process of Appendix K shall be used Certified Line Items. The Commanding Officer is responsible to determine the scope and use of certified tag-outs. During CNO-scheduled availabilities or for specific systems affected by complex evolutions e.

Prior to and following their use for these types of availabilities or evolutions, certified tag-outs shall be evaluated for changes required due to system design or configuration changes, or installed temporary power sources or equipment that could alter isolation boundaries.

Preparation 1 The certified line item must be prepared, independently reviewed and authorized per paragraphs 1. Copies of approved certified LIRS shall be filed and maintained for reference. Use of Certified Line Items 1 Using the certified line item as a reference, the preparer creates a new line item for the specific work item.

All other Ship s Force roles in the tag-out process, except as noted above in b. Maintenance of Certified Line Items 1 Certified line items shall be reviewed periodically to validate the tag-out. The standard line item The line item must meet all requirements above to be utilized as a certified line item e.

Violation of any tag compromises the entire tag-out system and could have serious consequences. Based on their evaluation of the circumstances, they should recommend action to the responsible Ship's Force Department Head and cognizant RA supervisor. Missing or damaged tags shall immediately be reported to the Authorizing Officer and RA Representative, if applicable so that prompt corrective action can be taken.

Specific amplifications are: 1 Immediate action shall include taking appropriate preventive measures to preclude changes to the item until it can be re-tagged. Missing Tag Actions. The Authorizing Officer and RA Representative when applicable shall take the following actions for a missing tag: 1 If tag is missing, stop affected work and take appropriate action to ensure continued protection of personnel and equipment until replacement tag is posted. The replacement tag label will have the same tag number as the tag being replaced.

For Caution tags, also print a replacement Caution Statement label. If verification of the affected component s position is required, follow the procedure of paragraph Damaged Tag Actions. The Authorizing Officer and RA Representative when applicable shall take the following actions for a damaged tag: 1 Evaluate and take appropriate actions of paragraph a.

For Caution tags, also print a replacement Caution Statement Label. If verification of the affected component s position is required, follow the procedure of paragraph b 6 c. Document the damaged tag removal on the new THS e. Date Initials. The missing or damaged tag is then annotated in Replaced Tag column as replaced e. File the new THS behind the original. Relocating Tag Actions. The steps of paragraph c above may also be used to relocate a tag on a component for example relocating a tag from a breaker cover to a breaker provided positive controls are in place per paragraph Work on Tagged Components.

Work on any component that has a danger tag or caution tag attached is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Department Head and, when required, the appropriate RA supervisor.

When work on a tagged component has been authorized, the following restrictions must be complied with: a. Never remove or operate a danger-tagged component. Never remove a caution-tagged component. NOTE: Raising a mast with a danger-tagged clamp attached, to perform a drift test, does not constitute operating a danger-tagged component. Work that would be likely to affect component position or position indication, or result in breaching the isolation boundary, is not allowed under any circumstances while working on a tagged component.

Tags shall not be removed while working on a tagged component Audits by Ship's Force a. Responsibility 1 The Department Head shall ensure that audits are performed every two weeks. For ships that are in overhaul, conversion, or restricted availability, conduct audits of the propulsion plant tag-out log s weekly.

Ship's Force audit of outstanding tags 1 Print audit sheets. Where this is not practical, the tag s should be audited just before access is restricted and again when access is regained. Any such instances should be identified in the audit log. The person s assigned to conduct the audit will audit tags and return audit sheets with discrepancies to the Authorizing Officer.

If personnel audit more than one tag in consecutive order on an audit sheet, they are only required to sign the first line in the Verified column. Do this by visually comparing the information on the tag and on the posted component.

Amplifications of this requirement are: a b c The position of some valves and switches cannot be verified due to the design and construction of the item. No operation of a valve or switch is authorized as part of a routine tag-out audit. Tag-out audits of typical Navy fuse panels will include a visual inspection for verification the correct fuses were removed, except if conditions exist where there is increased risk of contacting energized conductors during visual inspection of equipment e.

Auditing personnel shall adhere to the requirements of reference h , paragraph When the actual position of a danger-tagged valve is in doubt, the Authorizing Officer, with specific permission from the responsible Ship's Force Department Head and from the RA Representative, when applicable, may authorize two persons to independently check the position of the specific valve.

Locking devices should be manipulated or unlocked as necessary to check the position of the valve. Appropriate action shall be taken to ensure the continued protection of personnel and equipment. Record the date completed, the discrepancies noted, and the signature of person doing the audit on the Audit Report see Appendix D, Figure Record the date completed, the discrepancies noted, and the signature of the person doing the audit.

The Authorizing Officer shall annotate on the audit report cover sheet once completed audits are returned. Following correction of all discrepancies discovered during the audit process, the cleared line items may be archived. The frequency of electronically archiving line items is at the discretion of the ship.

When a dangertagged component is found out of position or a danger tag is found on the wrong component, the following actions shall be taken: a.

Stop affected work, notify Department Head and appropriate RA supervision if applicable and take appropriate action to ensure continued protection of personnel and equipment. Conduct an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding a danger tagged component found out of position or wrongly tagged. The goal of the monitoring is to provide timely data on tag-out performance so emerging adverse trends can be quickly addressed. To clear an active line item, open the line item to be cleared.

If completing the line item results in no tags to be cleared, the Authorizing Officer will concur with the line item clearance and sign for completion of tag removal. NOTE: The Assistant Authorizing Officer can also clear line items within a tag-out for completed work that would not result in the clearing of any tags.

Refresh the electronic tag-out program database and verify the Clearances Tagout module tag series Tagged Components, no longer list the tags in the active section. If tags are still listed in the active section of the Tagged Components tab, take actions per paragraph b.

If immediate re-positioning of components is required, then specific consideration must be given to the sequence of any valve repositioning and the type, size, and rating of any fuses being reinstalled. Otherwise, repositioning of components shall be accomplished after the Authorizing Officer has verified all tag clearance was accomplished correctly. Repositioning of a component with multiple danger tags is never authorized until all danger tags have When all line items requiring a tag are cleared as indicated by the tag being listed on the TRS, authorization to remove a tag and intent to reposition the previously tagged item is indicated by signature of the Authorizing Officer in the Clearance Authorized Authorizing Officer block of the TRS.

If the tag supported Repair Activity work e. In situations where the RA Representative is no longer available i. The Authorizing Officer shall inform the person clearing the tag if the Authorizing Officer s permission shall be obtained just prior to repositioning the component, in order to sequence the operation of several components Removal a.

Issue the TRS for clearance of tags. The person assigned shall remove the tag. If immediate repositioning is required and briefed, the person assigned shall place the previously tagged component in the position or condition specified on the TRS. The discrepancy shall be reported immediately to the Authorizing Officer, and to the RA Representative. Remove all temporary devices that were installed during tag posting per paragraph a.

All tags should be returned immediately to the Authorizing Officer. If a tag is in a location that prevents returning the tag to the Authorizing Officer, such as a radiological or hazardous material containment, the tag may be destroyed and disposed of in the appropriate manner within the containment following an independent verification that the correct tag has been cleared.

This independent verification shall be performed by another person assigned by the Authorizing Officer Completion of Tag Removal a. Upon return of the TRS and the individual tags, the Authorizing Officer must verify that the proper tags were removed and that documentation of their removal was completed on the TRS. Update the applicable valve status board s , and then destroy the removed tags. Exercise care when updating applicable valve status boards following removal of tags.

NOTE: Once the line item is updated as Work Complete, all tags for that line item will be cleared on the electronic line item sheet. This does NOT necessarily mean the tags are cleared, it means they no longer apply to that line item. Perform a validation of the electronic tag-out program database to verify there are currently no ghost tags.

Accomplish this validation by comparing the list of tagged components from the electronic tag-out program database to all active line items associated tags on the Active Tags to be Hung Sheets in the tag-out binder of paragraph e, verifying that all tagged components are associated with active line items. Upon completion of the electronic tag-out database validation, perform a tag-out audit to verify that all active line item tags are actually hanging per paragraph b.

If a ghost tag s is found during the electronic tag-out program database validation or tag-out audit, perform the applicable following situational steps to resolve the ghost tag issue. The person with the authority to sign for issuing or clearing tags and labels. Department Heads shall designate Authorizing Officers by billet or watchstation. A yellow tag used as a precautionary measure to provide temporary special instruction or to indicate that unusual action must be exercised to operate equipment.

This is an Authorizing Officer function. When the line item is cleared, the hanging tags are no longer referenced by that line item. The Assistant Authorizing Officer can clear line items within a tag-out for Completed work that would not result in the clearing of any tags.

For ESOMS, if the tags are not referenced by any other line item, the electronic tag-out program will status the tags no longer required as cleared and print a Tags to be Removed Sheet TRS to inform the Authorizing Officer to direct removal of the hanging tags. Component Component Contractor Cross Check For etag-out, the tags are statused as Clearance Authorized and do not become cleared until the AO enters the tags have been physically removed.

A valve, switch, etc. A commercial ship maintenance provider contracted directly by the Government to accomplish work on an individual component, or limited number of like components. The selection of this attribute yes will activate two additional signature requirements on the line item verification sheet. These additional signatures must be entered prior to the Authorizing Officer issuing the line item.

Used to document Commanding Officer concurrence if required. A temporary wire used to modify a circuit, such as by completing or bypassing the circuit. A sequential list of all tag-outs issued using the manual process of Appendix K.

It provides a ready reference of existing tag-outs, ensures sequential issuing of tag-out serial numbers, and assists auditing of the tag-out log. Authorizing Officer function. When a tag-out line item is issued, tag numbers are assigned to the components referenced on the line item. Some tags may have been issued by a previous line item and will be shared by the newly issued line item.

For any tags that are not shared with a previous line item, the Authorizing Officer will print the THS and tag labels and issue the new tag s to personnel for hanging if applicable. Naval ships during any type of availability. An individual entry in a tag-out that details the isolation, hazards, and work required for completion of a specific job.

As used in Appendix J, the master tag-out is a concept used to provide for the isolation of multiple work items within a common boundary of a Master WAF. As used in Appendix G, Barrier Criteria, the maximum calculated draft during the period of the maintenance action s that requires the barrier s for protection. The calculation is based upon the worst-case cumulative effect at any one time of all expected weight changes during the period of the maintenance action s.

Submarines will use the condition "N" diving trim water plane unless the maximum calculated draft during the period of the maintenance action s is greater. The officer designated to represent the Navy Department at an industrial activity; normally a Supervisor of Shipbuilding new construction , Regional Maintenance Center Conversion and Repair , or the Commander of a Naval Shipyard.

An orange label used to identify instruments that are out of calibration and will not accurately indicate parameters. A red label used to identify instruments that will not correctly indicate parameters because they are defective, or isolated from the system. This label indicates that the instrument cannot be relied on and must be repaired and re-calibrated, or reconnected to the system, before use.

A RA is any activity other than Ship's Force involved in the construction, testing, repair, overhaul, refueling, or maintenance of the ship.

The individual authorized to concur in the accuracy and adequacy of proposed tag- outs. Items installed for the purpose of protecting personnel or equipment.

A generic term for components or systems that can be controlled by computer microprocessor based equipment. Provides a consecutive listing of tags to be hung for a particular line item. Personnel use this sheet to hang new tags. This sheet will not list shared tags; it will only print if there are new tags to hang for a new line item.

Tag-out a. A process of hanging danger or caution tags to isolate a system or equipment to protect personnel or equipment. The container folder where individual line items are stored in the electronic tag-out system. Tag-out Log a. Each electronic tag-out log topside, central control station, etc. Also includes the Tag-Out Binder per paragraph e. When using the manual tag-out system of Appendix K, this control document is used for administering tag-out procedures and a record of authorization for each active tag-out action.

This sheet lists only those components no longer referenced on any active line item and is used to authorized and document tag clearance.

Where a work B The binder for storing records produced from the electronic tag-out program shall be maintained in the vicinity of the computer terminal used by the Authorizing Officer. The binder shall be marked appropriately. Part 3 - Active Tags to be Hung Sheets.

To differentiate between tag-out logs, a prefix system approved by the Commanding Officer shall be used with the log serial number. For example, on nuclear submarines, in order to differentiate between ship's tags and propulsion plant tags, ship's tags shall be prefixed S and propulsion plant tags P.

Another example of tag-out prefixes is P1 for a propulsion plant tag-out in the first plant of a multi-plant ship.

This will indicate to users that modifications have been made to existing line items. Other variations such as alphabetic i. The line item index shall be used as the official index record. There is no need to maintain a paper index in the tag-out log binder. For auditing purposes, the line item index may be printed to allow for remote auditing, but this index need not be maintained with the log binder. Appendix D, Figures 10 and 11 provide a template for standardization of an audit record sheet.

Forms produced by NAVSEA 04X approved automated tag-out systems are acceptable substitutes for all forms except tags required by this manual. Tags should normally be limited to the standard tags in Appendix D and Appendix K. Use line items: 1 For work or casualty isolation. When line items are used: 1 Use enough tags to prevent injury or damage to personnel and equipment by completely isolating the work area.

However, tags shall be attached to the fuse panel, racked out circuit breaker cabinet, or locked valve to indicate such action. Use danger tags to prohibit the operation or removal of equipment that could jeopardize safety of personnel or endanger equipment, systems or components. Use caution tags to provide temporary special instruction s or to indicate that unusual action must be exercised to operate equipment. Caution tags must state the specific reason that the tag is installed.

A caution tag is not used if personnel or equipment can be endangered while performing evolutions using normal operating procedures. A danger tag is used in this case. Any person having knowledge of a situation requiring tags or labels should request that they be issued and applied.

Tags should: 1 Be removed as soon as possible after all line item s listing a component are cleared. Only tags not shared with other line items and listed on the TRS may be removed. Use enough tags to completely isolate the system, piping, or circuit being worked on and to prevent operation of a system or component from all stations that could exercise control. As a minimum, system diagrams or circuit schematics shall be used by preparers and reviewers to determine the adequacy of all tag-out actions.

If slight differences between the identifiers are noted, e. PUMP No. If doubt exists, contact the Authorizing Officer for resolution. Appendix I provides the administrative procedures for naming components when creating, updating and maintaining the electronic tag-out program. Line items prepared for diver s operations shall follow the guidance of Appendix E Creating a Line Item. Evaluate if the danger tagged component is located in a high traffic area.

If yes, take action per Appendix F, paragraph 3. Any qualified Ship s Force person may prepare line items. During shipyard Chief of Naval Operations availabilities, the shipyard will normally propose the tag-out to Ship s Force but not necessarily prepare the line items for shipyard work.

The following provides requirements for creating and updating line items. Existing databases that use a consistent line item numbering convention are not required to be changed to meet these requirements. If the Repair Activity is preparing the line item for proposed RA work within the electronic tag-out program, the repair activity preparer shall electronically sign the Repair Activity Isolation Proposed block on the Line Item Verification tab. Line Item Numbering. The following numbering convention shall be used: Enter the work center, followed by square bracket [ , basic reason for tag-out, closed square bracket ] , description of maintenance, today s date, followed by rev number.

Note that once assigned, the line item number cannot be changed. Do not use apostrophes, quotes, colons or semi-colons in line item numbers as these are used by the electronic tag-out program as operators. In the Component to be Worked field, type the exact name as it appears in the Equipment Manager of the equipment to be worked. For multiple components, type the most appropriate system name which must also appear as a component in Equipment Manager. If the equipment that is entered into the Component to be Worked field has any Danger or Caution tags currently hanging or issued to be hung, a warning will appear.

This is for information and will not prevent issuing the line item. If it is necessary to hang more than one caution tag on the same component, a separate Caution tag-out folder must be created by the electronic tag-out program administrator. The Applicable Documentation field is limited to 31 characters or less. If there is insufficient space, use the Reason field to enter additional required information and enter statement see Reason block.

If a component added to the tag list is currently the Component to be Worked for another line item, a warning will occur. Perform a Conflict Check if a conflict is indicated with an issued tag. Perform a Conflict Check Un- Issued to determine if there are any conflicts between the line item being developed and other line items being prepared. Conflicts with issued line items must be resolved before the Authorizing Officer issues the line item. In the case of a conflict with another un-issued line item, coordinate with the division responsible for the conflicting line item to resolve conflicts.

Maintenance requiring a component to be tagged in a different condition than the condition that it is already tagged will produce a tag conflict preventing issuing the new line item. This situation is managed in one of the following manners: a b The new maintenance requiring a more restrictive condition may be delayed until all line items requiring the component to be tagged in a less restrictive condition are cleared.

The new tagged condition is less restrictive than the existing tagged condition e. The new line item may use the more restrictive tagged position. Prepare a line item for the new maintenance action per Paragraph Add the affected component to the line item tag list. Select the current tagged position e. Add a new component to the database. The component name shall be the same as the original component plus locking device e. Add the new component to the line item. Select the new more restrictive condition-position e.

If the line item is not associated with any RA work, RA review of tags and line item is not required. After the line item is filled out, the Petty Officer In-Charge block is signed. The signer shall request another qualified person perform an independent review. Cross Check. Selection of this feature in the line item attributes activates two additional verification signatures on the Line Item Verification tab.

These additional signatures must be entered prior to the Authorizing Officer issuing the line item Independent Reviews. The following steps apply to all independent reviewers: a. A second qualified person shall independently determine the adequacy and accuracy of the line item and isolation. To check an active line item, open the line item to be verified and review all of the information in the Line Item Detail tab, the Line Item Attributes tab, and the Line Item Tags tab.

This individual shall ensure that enough tags are used to completely isolate the system, piping, or circuit being worked on or to prevent operation of a system or component from all stations that could exercise control. System diagrams or circuit schematics shall be used to determine the adequacy of all tag-out actions. To concur with the line item as written, select the line that is to be signed.

Electronically sign on for verification, and notify the next person in the verification chain. To reject the line item as written, note who prepared the line item, select the last line that has been signed for in the "User" column, and electronically sign off the line item.

Notify the preparer that the line item has been rejected and give the specific reason for doing so. The Commanding Officer may sign electronically if function available. The line item shall then be presented to the Authorizing Officer. When satisfied with the tag-out plan, the RA Representative shall sign the Repair Activity Rep block on the line item. However, in all cases, the RA must review the line item and sign the Repair Activity Rep block of the line item.

When more than one tag-out log is maintained, an exchange of information concerning tag-out actions is required between Authorizing Officers.
