1.       Why do you want to lock the valve.

2.       Remember this is a hazardous (explosive) gas. If you are “locking” the valve as part of an energy isolation program to perform maintenance and the valve is part of that lockout boundary your lockout/tag out energy control procedure must be followed.

3.       If you do not have a stored energy control lockout/tag out program you must develop and implement one.
