When establishing your lockout tagout procedures, you have several options. You can establish them in-house with the people you have in place. You can go hire a number of new employees to help with this process. Or you can hire a qualified third party to work with you, and to help you to create your lockout tagout procedures.
When making the decision between these options, you need to first consider the timeframe you have for the completion of your project, as well as what your expected budget is for the project. If you have no money available to hire additional staff, for instance, that will help you make your decision. Similarly, if you need the project completed within a set period of time, you need to determine whether or not you have the correct people in place to meet that goal, and how long it would take you to train new staff. These two questions are usually the easiest way to help determine the best option for you.
Next, you should contact a qualified firm which specializes in lockout tagout procedures. This firm can give you an idea of what the costs will be for your project, as well as the expected timeframe and the potential issues which could arise in your unique situation. With all of this information, you can make an informed decision on how to proceed.
