What must an Energy Control Program include for each type of machine?

An Energy Control Program must include energy control procedures for each type of machine because these procedures are essential for ensuring the safe control of hazardous energy during maintenance and servicing activities. Energy control procedures provide clear and detailed steps on how to identify, isolate, and control the energy sources associated with the equipment. This includes lockout/tagout measures that prevent accidental release of stored energy, thereby safeguarding personnel from injuries.

These procedures are critical in guiding workers on how to apply lockout/tagout devices properly, ensuring that machines cannot be restarted until work is completed and it is safe to do so. By having structured and documented energy control procedures, employers fulfill their responsibility to provide a safe working environment that minimizes risks associated with equipment maintenance and servicing.

The other options, while they may have relevance in a broader safety program, do not represent the specific foundational requirement of the Energy Control Program. Lists of potential operators, safety training schedules, and maintenance logs, although important for overall safety management, do not directly address the necessary protocols for controlling hazardous energy.
