Which of these activities would typically NOT require Lockout/Tagout?

Routine cleaning of a machine would typically not require Lockout/Tagout because this task is generally conducted when the machine is in a safe operational mode and does not involve any maintenance or service that poses a risk of unintended startup or release of stored energy. Lockout/Tagout procedures are specifically designed to protect workers from the unexpected energization, startup, or release of stored energy during maintenance and service activities.

In contrast, maintenance requiring energy isolation, repairing equipment that is currently in use, and servicing equipment where the risk of injury exists all involve work on machines or systems that could inadvertently activate or release energy, necessitating a Lockout/Tagout protocol to ensure worker safety. These activities require a systematic approach to controlling energy sources to prevent accidents and injuries during maintenance and service operations.
