 Lockout/Tag Out
Inspectors shall contact the ferry terminal agent upon arrival to the facility to discuss
all site specific safety procedures and protocols. The procedures agreed to between the
terminal agent and the inspectors shall apply only to the ferry terminal over which that
agent has jurisdiction. WSF is finalizing the text for their Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) and
Hazardous Energy Testing procedures. Draft copies are included in Appendix XIV and XV.

Aerial Lifts
Aerial (Genie) lifts are used to gain access to the floor system of the passenger overhead
loading trusses and cab. The lifts are rented and delivered to the ferry terminal being
inspected as requested by WSF. The lift shall be operated according to requirements of
the rental company.

Inspection of the gangplank masts and support arms at the Eagle Harbor Maintenance
Facility may be accomplished with a bucket truck.

Summary of Key Personnel

Marine Project Engineer (WSF)
The Terminal Engineering Maintenance Marine Project Engineer has been sub-delegated
Program Manager Duties for the federally reportable bridge inventory of Washington
State Ferries. These duties are defined in the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS)
23CFR650.307. The Marine Project Engineer, being a Delegated Program Manager,
must retain his/her Bridge Inspection certification as outlined in the Washington State
Bridge Inspection Manua M 36-64 Section 1.04-B. A copy of the Sub-delegation letter is in

Pre-Inspection Planning
Prior to the beginning of the inspection season, the BPO Special Structures Engineer and
the WSF Marine Project Engineer shall establish a list of structures and inspection types
to be performed for the coming year. A tracking spreadsheet is created and placed on the
WSDOT web server. The location of the server is W:\Data\Bridge\Special Structures\
Ferry Terminals.

Prior Review
Get copies of the previous inspection reports and all attached files (fracture critical report,
fracture critical member diagram, ultrasonic test results of pins, pile layout, and pile
inspection data spreadsheets).

Read through the previous report and note all recommended repairs. Take copies
of photos associated with the repair. Note items to be measured for ongoing deterioration
such as weld cracks or timber rot. Take copies of the WSBIS sheet for verification of
bridge geometric data.

Schedule Inspections
Compile a tentative schedule of inspections showing which ferry terminals are to be
inspected during the year. A follow up confirmation of the schedule will be sent to WSF
two weeks in advance of the inspections to allow Terminal Engineering the option
to schedule one of their personnel to assist Bridge Preservation in the inspections
or to review their records for any emergency repairs or maintenance contracting.

Procure Inspection Vehicles

A skiff for inspection of all structures over the water needs to be set up. All safety
equipment and personal flotation need to be inventoried and inspected. A shakedown
cruise of the skiff shall be conducted to insure the motor and controls are operable.
The boat trailer, trailer lights and running gear shall be in safe operating condition.

A four wheel drive (4WD) vehicle capable of pulling the inspection boat needs
to be checked out for the duration of the ferry terminal inspection. A 4WD vehicle
may be required on boat launch ramps.
A Genie lift for inspection of Pedestrian Overhead Loading structures. Arrangements
for the lift are made by WSF for delivery to the terminal on the date of inspection.
This request is made by BPO to WSF during the planning stage of the inspection.

Inspection Types
Routine Inspection
An NBI required inspection of the entire structure. This inspection is performed at a
maximum frequency of 24 months. If the superstructure or substructure code has an NBI
rating of 4 or less, the inspection shall be on a 12 month frequency.

Fracture Critical Inspection

An NBI required inspection of the Fracture Critical (FC) elements of the bridge. This
inspection is performed at a maximum frequency of 24 months. The FC inspection should
line up with the Routine Inspection.

A Fracture Critical Member (FCM) is a steel member in tension, or with a tension

element, whose failure would probably cause a portion of or the entire bridge to collapse.
Reference: 23CFR 650.305. Typical Ferry Terminal F.C.M.’s include the steel transfer
spans, the lift beam, live load hangers and hanger pins, a two pin apron system, and cable
eye clevises.
The fracture critical inspection is a visual inspection, and may include other
nondestructive test methods such as ultrasonic testing. Fracture Critical inspection of
the Passenger Overhead (POH) loading facilities requires the use of a Genie lift arranged
by WSF. Though not an NBI Required Inspection, FC inspection of POH facilities is done
on a 24 or 48 month frequency, depending on the age and condition of the structure.
A schedule for Genie lift equipment is listed in Appendix IX.

Special Feature Inspection

An NBI required inspection if WB77-84 is coded anything other than ”N”. The transfer
spans should have a special inspection of 6 “Ferry Terminal”. This inspection should
correspond with the Routine Inspection date and frequency.

Equipment Inspection
This is not an NBI reported inspection, but is used to help schedule equipment. Use this
to schedule either the Genie Lift for the Pedestrian Facilities, or for a UBIT to inspect high
timber caps.

Interim Inspection
This is not an NBI reported inspection and is used as an off year inspection to monitor
a special condition or repair. It is commonly used for structures which have a 24 month
routine inspection frequency, but a partial inspection on a more frequent basis is
warranted. The note box under the “Report Types” file tab should point out that the
interim inspection is a “safety” level inspection which should include verification of repairs
and a description of specific elements requiring a more frequent inspection.

Underwater Inspection
An NBI required inspection of all in-water elements. This inspection is performed at
a maximum frequency of 60 months. Facilities with Timber Elements are given an
Underwater Inspection on a 48 month Frequency.

Passenger Overhead Loading Facility

Overhead loading passages and cab are inspected per the agreement. Passenger overhead loading
facilities allow walk on passengers diredt access to the passenger seating deck of the ferry, which lies
above the car deck. The passageway leads from the ferry terminal building to the loading cab via
approach spans and a transfer span and cab. Approach spans are generally steel or aluminum trusses,
with the exception of the 24 timber trestle spans for the shore end of the Bainbridge passenger loading
ramp. Cab and transfer span are raised and lowered either by counterweighted hoist and winch system
or in the newer designs by hydraulic pistons housed in a concrete “supercolumn.
There are counterweighted cab-transfer spans at Anacortes, Bainbridge, Seattle Slip 2 and Slip 3.

Express Ferry Facility

There are Express Ferry Facilities in the WSF system at Bremerton, Seattle and Vashon Island. The
Express Ferry (Passenger only ferry) lays alongside a concrete or steel pontoon that has a fender system
to ward off the ferry. The pontoons are fixed in a horizontal plane and can only move up and down on
spud piles and wells. A transfer span steel truss connects the pontoon to the approach trestle. The
pontoons being floating structures makes them vulnerable to violent wave action and to extreme tidal
fluctuations. The truss bearings on the pontoon have to accommodate fairly large longitudinal and
transverse rotational movements caused by pitching and rolling of the pontoon respectively.

Tie-up Slip
There are vessel Tie-up slips at several ferry terminals. These slips are used to accommodate vessels
overnight for early morning departures or to hold for temporary maintenance. The Anacortes terminal
has two tie up slips, Bainbridge- Friday Harbor-Kingston-Vashon have one Tie-up Slip. Access to the
ferries is by gangplank that is raised and lowered by a winch and hoist attached to a boom crane.

 Offshore slip structures include the wingwalls and dolphins. The rub rail on the ferry bow
lands against and lays on the wingwalls. Wingwalls are either steel frame piling or timber
plumb and batter piling with timber walers. Wingwalls have vertical rubbing face timbers
with a High Density Plastic (HDPE) fascia. The dolphins lie offshore of the wingwalls and
control the ferry from swinging while in the slip. The outer dolphins are often used as
turning dolphins when the ferry is leaving the slip.

Dolphins are constructed of timber piles driven in a mass or steel pile frames. The timber
piles are wrapped individually into the mass of other piling. The piles are all finished with
several high and low outer wraps, see Figure 14. Steel pile frame dolphins consist of steel
reaction and fender piles. There are a few different configurations of pile frames. Latest
design employs TRELLEX fenders and HDPE/UMHW fender faces see Figure 15.

Abutment and Approach Trestle

Abutment
For all material types of abutments look for breaching of the wall that will result in loss
of fill and settlement of the approach road. Note erosion and undermining along the
abutment wall base. Note unevenness and potholing in the pavement at the threshold.
The following are a few specific items to look for under timber, concrete and steel sheet
pile abutments:

Timber
• Rotten or broken backwall timber planks, note any associated voids in backfill.
• Rotten soldier piles.
• Rotten sill caps and sill foundation blocks.
• Steep slopes or low clearance limiting access to the abutment that require special
equipment or care.

Concrete
• Holes, spalls and open cracks in the retaining wall , note any associated voids
in backfill.
• Spalls and open vertical cracks in abutment caps.
• Exposed rebar; length, depth of exposure and condition of bar corrosion should
be documented.

Steel sheet pile

• Corrosion holes through sheet; area and location, note any associated voids in backfill.
• General condition off sheets; look for thin bulging areas and fill spill through.
• Transverse top cap, concrete/steel; note deteriorated conditions.

Ferry Terminal Inspection Procedures Manual M 3015.05 Page 17

January 2018
 Trestle
Trestle bents are usually numbered consecutively from Bent 1 at the abutment to the
offshore bent at the transfer span bridge seat. Piles in a bent are usually labeled from
left to right looking offshore. Exception occurs at Fauntleroy where piles are labeled
right to left (dating back to the original construction of the trestle). Note condition and
thickness of the asphalt concrete surfacing for all types of material construction. The
following are a few specific items to look for under timber, concrete, and steel trestles:

Timber
• Damaged, rotten deck laminations in soffit; document square area and location.
• Water damage and loose deck laminations, particularly around drains.
• Curbs and railings.
• Rot where stringers bear on caps.
• Cracked or splintered stringers. Note notching of stringers at bearing.
• Rot in exterior stringers at drain scuppers, and under curbs.
• Brooming or bulging caps, cap crushing or piles punched into the bottom of caps, cap
end rot.
• Rot in pilings. Pay particular attention to the caps and piling at the offshore end
of the trestle. Presence of marine borers, especially Toredos (Shipworms) and
Limnoria damage.
• Large pieces of flotsam (tree trunks, barrels, etc.) that can damage piles.
• Construction debris nailed to piles (platform, horizontal timbers, etc.).

Concrete
• Deck soffit spalls and exposed reinforcement in precast concrete panels.
• Spalls and exposed reinforcement in caps.
• Concrete curb and metal rail.
• Concrete piles, including evenly spaced ring cracks, longitudinal cracks, exposed rebar
or prestressing strands.
• Utility lines and pipe hangers located beneath the soffit. Locate any leaking drain lines
and overflowing oil water separation vaults.

Steel
• Steel pile and cap members encountered in the trestle are usually the result of repairs
or reconstruction.
• Steel Cap; Document condition and workmanship of cap reinforcement.
Note condition of galvanizing or protective system.
• H piles or Round piles. Document failed steel pile protective wrap or coating
Note extents of section loss.
• Galvanized channel bracing at many terminals.

January 2018
 Transfer Span (Fracture Critical)

Bridge Seat
The bridge seat can be constructed of treated timber pile and caps or concrete caps
on concrete or steel piles.

Treated timber construction is generally pile bents topped with transverse and
longitudinal cribbing culminating in a timber cap platform. The transfer span lower bearing
plates lay on the platform. The platform caps are sometimes dapped to adjust the base
plate to the correct grade. This causes water to pond in the depression in the cap and
often leads to softening/rot in the cap at the bearing. Look for tilting of the bridge seat
cap caused by crushing of the caps usually on the seaward piles.

Concrete bridge seat cap look for spalling, cracks, or exposed reinforcement.

Bridge Seat Bearings allow the transfer span to rotate while keeping the transfer plan
from moving latterly or off the bridge seat. Check tightness of embedded bearing anchor
bolts. Look for movement between the concrete cap and bearing masonry plate. Check
for wear on the pins or the vertical plates.

Note any unusual conditions around the bridge seat (large pieces of flotsam, unusual tilt,
rotten timber piles, spalled concrete piles or rusty steel piles).

Transfer Span
The transfer span is the moveable bridge that spans between the fixed bearing at the end
of the approach trestle and the counterweight towers. The transfer spans are generally
through girders either riveted or welded or through trusses. Both types of spans have
a steel floor beam and stringer system. Typical problems associated with transfer spans
and floor system include:
• Fracture prone welding in the tension zones of girders at stiffeners and fittings.
• Section loss on tension flanges of girders or truss tension chords.
• Pack rust/broken welds between girder cover plates or truss splice plates.
• Loss of section on gussets and connections due to corrosion.
• Damage from vehicular or ferry collision.
• Failure of protective systems.
• Cracks in floor beam web copes at girder connections.
• Corrosion of lateral bracing gussets and fasteners at floor beam connections
to girders.
• Section loss and severe corrosion on floorbeams, stringers and lift beams.

On girder transfer spans there is usually an offshore end floorbeam one stringer bay offshore from the
lift beam. The offshore end floorbeam on typical girder spans has the apron hinges attached. Contrast
this to truss transfer spans, where the lift beam is under the sea end floorbeam. On the older in service
girders and trusses there is substantial corrosion and section loss in the seaward stringers, floorbeams
and the lift beam. The lift beam can be lowered to the point of being in salt water from wave action.
Look for the following typical problems:

• Floor system bracing bent and/or gusset plate welds broken by rust pack out.
• Holed through stringer webs at floorbeam connections.
• Damaged bolts or rivets.
• Note floorbeam, stringer and lift beam broken welds and section loss. Use calipers,
micrometers or an electronic thickness meter to determine section remaining.
Estimate amount of section loss in scalloped areas and note knife edged flanges.
• Lift beam bottom cover plate intermittent welds broken because of rust pack-out.
• Lift beam flange, web and tie plates that have heavy pack rust and section loss.

Figure 9 Typical Steel Truss Transfer Span

Figure 2: Typical Steel Truss Transfer Span

For steel welded or riveted through trusses, in general, the bottom chord is in tension. The trusses still in
service in the system have the lift beam under the offshore end floorbeam and the Apron hinge pins
pivoting off the offshore end floorbeam. There is no negative moment area on the truss and apron
combination. Truss items to be closely examined:
∼ Section loss on chord, vertical and diagonal members.
∼ Gusset Plate tack weld locations, rust pack out, seam rust, section loss, and broken welds.

• Visual inspection of the truss bottom chord at bearing and at the lift beam especially
the web of the beam. Also note condition of top bearing plate connection to chord.
• Note floor system beam connection to truss corrosion and rivet section loss.
• Note floorbeam, stringer and lift beam broken welds and section loss. Use calipers,
micrometers or an electronic thickness meter to determine section remaining.
Estimate amount of section loss in scalloped areas and note knife edged flanges.
• Note number of damaged or broken fasteners in bolted or riveted connections.
• Apron two hinge pin system is fracture critical. Visually inspect welds on the apron
hinge pin transverse beam and on the pin side plates. Visually inspect the welds of
the longitudinal beams/webs to the deck plate. For the apron soffit, comment on the
general condition of the paint protective system, abraded or broken transverse tie
straps, and sharp creases or gouges, which are areas where cracks can initiate.
• Aprons with multiple pins are not fracture critical. Check for missing cotter pins and
damaged pins or pin plates. Pin plates are often found with pin holes that are oblong
in shape. This is typically caused by traffic impact and the hardened pins banging
against the softer steel of the pin plates.

Towers
The towers support the offshore end of the transfer span. The span is counterweighted
for dead load to reduce the power required of the hoist motor used to raise the span
to adjust to the ferry deck as the tides change. The towers also support the live load
hanger bars that transfer vehicle loads back to tower piles.

Several terminals in the system have counterweighted aprons and apron hoisting motor.
Installations since the 1990’s have hydraulic actuators to move the apron up or down into
loading position.

Towers are usually constructed of timber or steel. Depending on the configuration steel
towers may be set on a timber platform or on a concrete tower base platform. Most of
the timber towers are constructed of timber piles full height from mudline to headframe
support cribbing. Concrete tower base platforms may be supported on timber, steel
or concrete piles.

 Steel Pile Frame Dolphin
Steel pile frame dolphins have various design configurations but almost all employ a set
of fender piles backed by reaction piles. The number of piles total in these steel pile frame
dolphins ranges from 6 piles to 25 piles. The fender piles are attached to the reaction
piles by a Trellex fender attached to the top platform that caps the reaction piles. The
reaction piles are drilled shafts 24-30 inches diameter. Fender piles have a fender face
armored with UHMW sheets attached to a built up backing plate that is clamped to the
pile. Damage occurs on the Trellex Fender at the attaching frame and bolting plates.
The Trellex will tear or the bolts will pull out of the Trellex. The Trellex will be severely
deformed in a step down configuration indicative of permanent set or tearing of the
Trellex. When this happens, the collar on the fender pile is not on the same level as the
other fender piles. Comment on the general condition of the fender faces and Trellex
shock absorbers.

Appendix XIa Scope of Work for Ferry Terminal
Underwater Inspections

Appendix A
Scope of Work for Ferry Terminal Underwater Inspections
(7/15/17)

Inspection shall include all underwater components of ferry terminals including tie-up slips. All
structures are to be inspected by divers from the water surface down to the mudline.
Note the tidal elevation at the beginning and end of each dive, relative to the top of the bridge
seat pile cap. If terminal has multiple slips, note the slip number of the bridge seat used as the
benchmark.
Inspect the following structures and components:

1. Trestles and transfer span towers: Inspect all piling and bracing. Plumb and batter piling
may be timber, steel or concrete. Bracing may be timber or steel. Inspect cross bracing
piece by piece, noting all damage and deterioration. Inspection report should include
location and condition of individual bracing members as well as of individual piling.

2. Wingwalls and dolphins: Construction may be of timber or steel.

a) Timber: Perform “swim-by” inspection. Note collision damage, marine borer
attack, condition of wales, lashings, and bolted connections. Look for evidence of
gross displacement, instability and scour. Inspection report should note general
condition; a pile-by-pile inventory report is not required.

b) Steel wingwalls and dolphins have considerably fewer piles than their timber
counterparts. For the purpose of establishing a baseline for future “swim-by”
inspections, it is necessary to perform a detailed inspection if that has not been
done. Note collision damage, coating failure, corrosion, condition of welded and
bolted connections. Look for evidence of gross displacement, instability and
scour. Prepare a pile-by-pile inspection report.

3. Floating structures, including dolphins, wingwalls (floating wingwalls are at Lopez

Island terminal only), and foot ferry loading floats. Floating structures may be timber,
steel or concrete, and may be moored by chain, cable or piles. Inspect floating structure
hull for general condition, including condition of any coating, and note all damage.
Inspect mooring chain or cable from hawse to mudline, and note position and condition
of anchor or mooring stake if visible. If moored by piles, inspect piles to mudline, noting
any damage including damage caused by spud wells. Note condition of spud wells and
bearing material.
4. Mono-columns at passenger overhead loading structures: Inspect steel casing for coating
failure and signs of corrosion.

5. Note extent of propeller-wash scour in and around slips.

9 at the ferry terminal:
10
11 • Prior to diving and workboat activity, the Contractor shall obtain approval
12 from the Engineer.
13 • Notification shall be made no less than one hour prior to the diver entering
14 the water.
15 • The Engineer or designee will be responsible for notifying each vessel of
16 the upcoming day’s diving or workboat activity.
17 • The Engineer will request that the vessels depart under low power (slow
18 bell) unless otherwise necessary due to weather conditions.
19 • The diving team and workboat operations shall not disrupt the ferry service
20 schedule.
21 • Communications between the diver and the Diver’s Tender shall be
22 maintained at all times.
23 • The Engineer and Masters shall be notified at the completion of diving and
24 work boat activity each day.
25
26 Slip-Specific Diving Requirements
27 The following safety rules shall be followed when diving activities are performed within
28 the diving envelope of a ferry slip.
29
30 The diving envelope is defined as occurring in an active ferry slip being used for vessel
31 operations
32 • It includes the area around all of the slip landing aids structures
33 • And a 150 feet by 150 feet box which is bisected by the centerline of the slip
34 and runs from the off-shore portion of the apron towards the shore.
35
36 A three-member minimum diving team will be required when diving within the diving
37 envelope of a ferry slip. The duties of the team members will be as follows:
38
39 • One member shall be diving.
40 • One member shall be in a skiff, on the trestle or on the transfer span acting

5
6 • The workboat shall not pass in front of ferry vessel when it is closer than 500
7 yards from the terminal on approach. (33 CFR 165.1317)
8 • While the ferry vessel is making the landing approach to the ferry terminal,
9 workboats shall maintain a 100 yards distance unless moored to a larger
10 anchored vessel or to a landing structure for other than the active slip. (33 CFR
11 165.1317)
12 • Workboats shall maintain a 25 yard distance from ferry vessel while ferry vessels
13 are moored at the ferry terminal unless approved by the vessel master. (33 CFR
14 165.1317)
15 • The workboat shall maintain visual awareness of the slip and any vessels that
16 are using or will be using the slip.
17 • Operators of workboats need to be aware of the ferry schedule and be aware
18 when ferry vessels will be departing so that they can position their workboat in a
19 safe operating location and in compliance with the requirements stated above..
20 • The workboat shall not cross under the active occupied slip unless the
21 wheelhouse has been notified and agrees.
22 • Workboats shall be moored in locations that will provide both visibility to vessel
23 approaches and/or protected from any prop wash that may occur by ferry vessel
24 approach and departure.

Ferry Terminal Inspection Pre-Activity Safety Plan

Goal: The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is committed to
providing a healthy and safe workplace for all personnel; zero injuries, accidents, exposures, and
the control of occupational hazards are key components of the goal.

Purpose: Ferry terminals have many different hazards that may be encountered during
inspection. There are two methods of inspection that generally occur; Above water and in water.
Above water inspection entails an inspection of all the areas that can be accessed from solid
ground, including headframes, which may or may not require special equipment such as a Genie
lift of bucket truck. In water consist of inspecting all elements or parts of elements the require a
boat for access.

Typical Procedure: Inspectors arrive via boat or vehicle depending on the facility and the
inspection plan. Upon arrival the inspectors notifying the terminal agent of their arrival and
inspection plan. The inspector will have with them at all times a WSF radio maintaining contact
with the terminal agents and boat captains. The inspections are to be completed without
interrupting ferry boat and vehicle traffic. Upon completion of their inspection the inspectors
will notify WSF staff of their departure.

Personnel are highly trained in the performance of their field activities. This PASP addresses
inspections that may occur on any ferry terminal throughout the state.

LOTO SAFE 0010 Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout)

This safety policy affects employees who service, maintain, and

operate equipment and machines. Uncontrolled energy is a hazard
to operators and other employees in the area of the machinery,
equipment, or processes. Those who service and maintain machinery
or equipment are especially vulnerable because the machinery or
equipment might become energized while being serviced or stored
energy might be unexpectedly released.
There are certain situations where it is necessary for employees
to work on energized machinery, equipment or systems that
are not locked out or tagged out. (For example, when testing or
troubleshooting a particular piece of equipment or system). In such
situations, only trained employees qualified to work on energized
circuits or equipment are assigned such tasks.
Definitions
Affected Employee: An employee required to work or be present in
an area or location where servicing or maintenance is being performed
under LOTO procedures.
Authorized Employee: An employee who possesses a level of
technical expertise, knowledge or training and is authorized by
management to perform lock out or tag out on machines, equipment,
or systems in order to perform service or maintenance.
Employee: For the purposes of this procedure, the term “Employee”
shall apply to both WSF employees and the employees of contracted
parties.
Energized: Connected to an energy source or containing residual or
stored energy.
Energy-isolating Device: A mechanical device that physically
prevents transmitting or releasing of all forms of energy. This includes,
but is not limited to: manually operated electrical circuit breakers,
disconnect switches, air or fluid line valves, blocks, manually
operated switches that disconnect the conductors of a circuit from all
ungrounded supply conductors if no pole of the switch can be operated
independently, or similar devices used to block or isolate energy.
Note: Push buttons, selector switches, and other control circuit type
devices are not energy isolating devices.
Energy Source: Any source of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, chemical, thermal, or other energy including gravity.

intact.
2. Check the work area to ensure that all employees have
been safely positioned or removed from the area.
3. Verify that the controls are in neutral.
4. Remove the lockout devices and reenergize the machine
or equipment. The authorized person that placed the
lock shall be the person who removes the lock, unless
an emergency exists, then emergency lock removal
procedures shall be followed.
Note: The removal of some forms of blocking may require
re-energizing of the machine before safe removal.
5. Notify affected employees that the servicing or
maintenance is completed and the machine or equipment
is ready for use. Record information in the LOTO
Logbook.
Energy Control Involving More Than One Person
In the preceding steps, if more than one individual is required to
lockout or tagout equipment, each authorized person shall place his
or her own personal lockout device or tagout device on the energy
isolating device(s).
A Primary Authorized Employee shall be assigned who:
• Has overall responsibility for the service or maintenance;
• Attaches their lock or tag to the energy isolating device
before work begins; and
• Is the last person to remove their lockout or tagout device
when the repair or maintenance is complete.
When an energy-isolating device cannot accept multiple locks or tags,
a multiple lockout or tagout device (gang box or hasp) may be used.
If lockout is used, a single lock may be used to lockout the machine
or equipment with the key being placed in a lockout box or cabinet,

which allows the use of multiple locks to secure it. Each employee
will then use his or her own lock to secure the box or cabinet. As each
person no longer needs to maintain his or her lockout protection, that
person will remove his or her lock from the box or cabinet.
Periodic Inspections
• WSF Port Engineers, Terminal Engineers, Staff Chiefs,
and the Eagle Harbor Safety Office shall conduct a
periodic inspection of the energy control program to
verify that the procedure requirements are being followed.
• The periodic inspection is conducted to identify any
deviations or inadequacies which may indicate training

and the machine or equipment is ready to return to normal operating
condition, the following steps shall be taken:
1. Check the machine or equipment and the immediate area around
the machine or equipment to ensure that nonessential items have
been removed and that the machine or equipment components are
operationally intact.
2. Check the work area to ensure that all employees have been safely
positioned or removed from the area.
3. Verify that the controls are in neutral.
Testing and Inspection Training
The training adminstrator shall conduct the initial basic LOTO,
testing and inspection training, and shall communicate awareness of
the procedures and skills that employees are required to possess. The
assigned supervisor and/or established training administrator shall
document all training and the training program shall be reviewed on a
semi-annual basis.
This training shall ensure that:
• Each Authorized Employee receives training in the recognition of
applicable hazardous energy sources, the type and magnitude of
the energy available in the workplace, and the methods and means
necessary for energy isolation and control;
• Each Affected Employee shall be instructed in the purpose and
application of the energy control procedure; and
• All other employees shall be instructed when work operations are
in an area where energy control procedures are used.
WSF will train employees to make sure that they:
• Understand the purpose and function of the energy control
program; and
• Have the knowledge and skills necessary to carry out their
program responsibilities.
WSF will train each authorized employee in:
• The type and magnitude of energy available in the
workplace; Recognizing hazardous energy sources that
apply; and
• Methods and means to isolate and control energy.

Train each affected employee in the purpose and use of the energy
control procedures.
Train all employees who work or may work where energy control
procedures might be used about the:
• Procedures being used; and
• Prohibition against attempting to restart or reenergize a
machine or equipment that is being tested or inspected.
Document that employee training has been completed and kept up to
date, including the employee’s name and the training date.
Employee Retraining
Authorized and affected employees shall be retrained to introduce new
or revised control methods and procedures when there is a change in
any of the following:
• Job assignments;
• Machines, equipment, or processes that present a new
hazard; and
• Energy control procedures.
Employees shall be retrained to re-establish proficiency when:
• A periodic review shows an employee deviates from,
or has inadequate knowledge of the energy control
procedures or the employer has reason to believe
retraining is necessary.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Determination of PPE to be worn shall be made after a job hazard
analysis of the work task.

Special Considerations
Energized Systems - Testing and Inspection
Whenever possible, secure all applicable energy sources for equipment
under the LOTO policy. If energized equipment is needed for testing
or inspection purposes, only trained employees qualified to work on
energized circuits or equipment are assigned such tasks. Notify all
affected and authorized employees of the work and implement the
necessary safety precautions to protect workers.

Redundant Energy Sources

It is vital that authorized personnel understand the dangers associated
with redundant energy systems. Additional planning is necessary to
determine and secure redundant energy sources to prevent employee
injuries due to exposure to or contact with redundant energy systems.
Contractors performing work at WSF Locations
Contractors are required to review the WSF Lockout/Tagout and
Testing and Inspection policies, and to comply with all applicable
Federal, State, and Local regulations regarding hazardous energy
control.
Contractors shall check-in and communicate with the appropriate
Chief Engineer, Terminal Engineer, Terminal Supervisor or Eagle
Harbor Foreman as required by the location and job. Contractors shall
provide equipment and job status updates as needed and provide a
service record upon job completion.
Working Aloft While the Vessel is in Service (Working on Radar/
Radio Equipment)
WAC 296-304-06009 requires that no employee other than a radar or
radio repairman shall be permitted to work on masts or other areas
aloft unless the radars and radios are secured or otherwise made
incapable of emitting radiation. In the event that an authorized WSF
employee or contractor is performing work on the radar or radio
equipment, the scope of work shall be communicated to the Vessel
Engineer and recorded in the Engine Room and Pilothouse Vessel
Logbooks.
When WSF deck personnel are going aloft for the purpose of routine
watch activities, the radar must be placed in the “standby” position
or the scanner switched to “off” and the power to the HF radios (800
MHz) secured so that it cannot transmit. The Master or Mate shall
ensure that all pilothouse personnel are aware that a crewmember is
aloft.
