Wisconsin osha lockout / tagout sheet
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 requires documented energy control before servicing equipment where unexpected startup could injure a worker. On residential and light-commercial jobs this most often means an electrical disconnect, a gas valve, or stored pressure in a refrigerant circuit.
What goes on the Wisconsin version
- Authorized employee applying the locks
- Every energy source isolated — electrical, gas, hydraulic, pneumatic and stored energy
- Lockout devices applied and verification step
- Equipment, address and date for the job file
Wisconsin is one of our code-tuned states, so the packet builder also flags the state-specific attachments this scope triggers before you file.
Mistakes that get it kicked back
- Listing the electrical disconnect but not stored energy such as capacitors or refrigerant pressure
- Letting a second tech work under someone else's lock instead of applying their own
- Skipping the verification step that confirms the equipment will not start
