Group lockout under 29 CFR 1910.147(f)(3) requires a single authorized employee to take primary responsibility for an identifiable group of workers operating under a group lockout device 1. The procedure must ensure equivalent protection to a personal lockout for each crew member, and OSHA's 1996 Letter of Interpretation clarified that contractor employees count toward the group 2.

DOCTRINE: CITE THE RECORD

An answer you can't check is a liability you can't defend. Cairn reads the record, finds the controlling source, and writes the answer from what that source says.

Every claim carries a numbered reference you can open, read, and hand to a CFO, a board, or an OSHA Area Director. When the record is silent, Cairn says so instead of guessing.
