CSA Z460 (Control of hazardous energy)

CSA Z460 is a Canadian safety standard that provides guidelines for controlling hazardous energy during maintenance or repair work on machinery and equipment. It ensures that workers can perform tasks without the risk of accidental injury from unexpected startup, release of stored energy, or hazardous substances. The standard emphasizes procedures such as proper lockout and tagout protocols, training, and equipment management to maintain a safe work environment. Overall, it helps prevent workplace accidents by establishing clear safety practices for managing energy sources like electricity, hydraulics, or pressure during maintenance activities.
