2. If the TSS/WL on arrival finds that a lockout has been left in place but the member of staff whose name appears on the lock has left, they shall take the following action:
Try to contact the member of staff for permission to remove the lockout. (Typically, in a vehicle or at HP.)  If they confirm that you may remove the lockout, do so. This will require the use of side cutters or even bolt cutters - do not do it lightly.
1. If you cannot contact the member of staff, check to see if the work appears to be complete and that no obstructions have been left in the work area. Do not remove the lockout yet.
2. Attempt to contact the Site Safety advisor, failing whom the Chief Engineer, failing whom the Designated Official, for permission to remove the lockout. If none of them can be contacted, or if they are not able to verify that the lockout may be removed. It is recognized that this may well result in loss of telescope time.

2. If the TSS/WL finds that a lockout has been left in place but the member of staff whose name appears against it has left, he shall take the following action:
1. Try to contact the member of staff for permission to remove the lockout. (Typically, in a vehicle or at HP.) If they confirm that you may remove the lockout, do so. This may require use of  a bolt cutter and safety glasses.
