Centrifugal pump lockout procedure

A centrifugal pump holds electrical and water energy. Here is where it hurts people, and the procedure for yours: the placard for the machine and the written procedure for the binder.

E1W12 energy sources on a typical centrifugal pump

Where a centrifugal pump hurts people

  • Close both the suction and discharge valves: the line can backflow through the pump.
  • Drain the casing before you open it; it holds the line pressure and the liquid.

Write the procedure for your centrifugal pump

List every source of energy that can move, power or hurt. The placard builds as you go, and the checks run on every change.
