Employer's Energy Control Program

An employer must establish an energy control program consisting of three components:

1. Energy control procedures
2. Employee training
3. Periodic inspections

Before any employee performs any service on machinery where the unexpected energizing, startup, or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, the machine must be isolated from the energy source and rendered inoperative.
