The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) document 3900.19B – Occupational Safety and Health Program Chapter 13 Hazardous Energy Control Program (Lockout/Tagout) released in April 1999, the Scope identifies that:

This chapter applies to all FAA personnel. This includes, but is not limited to, employees involved in design, acquisition, installation, modification, alteration, and service work on machines, equipment, and systems. FAA contractors and subcontractors must comply with the requirements of this chapter. (1301.SCOPE.)

The Policy section further stipulates that, “All new equipment designed, ordered, and installed and any replacement or major repair, modification, alteration, or renovation to existing machines or equipment must be equipped with the capacity for lockout.” (1302.POLICY.) Additionally, September of 2011, the Western Service Area (WSA) of the FAA released the supplement WSA Sup 1 3900.19 Chp 13. Furthermore, the FAA will not provide Lockout or Tagout devices to contractors. So all authorized employees who fall under the Scope of 3900.19B must have Lockout/Tagout devices to meet compliance with the OSHA standards. Fortunately, Master Lock has taken their decades of OSHA Lockout/Tagout device experience and adapted it to the Aviation Industry.
