Even after complete lockout, water pressure may exist as a stored energy that needs to be addressed. Such potential could exist in supply or return lines.
To ensure safe conditions for maintenance, this pressure must be released in a safe manner as described by OEM or plant procedures.
Information covering sources of water energy is available on the Water Energy Sources page.
Proper lockout/tagout can virtually eliminate the risk involved with hazardous energy.
