In general, yes. OSHA requires an employer to document lockout/tagout procedures.
A written lockout procedure is not required only when the machine only has one energy supply that’s easy to identify and lock out. The machine can’t have any potential for stored energy. Locking that one energy isolating device completely de–energizes the machine. The authorized employee has to lock out the energy supply, and he has to be the only person in control of the lock. Aside from this, the work being done can’t create any hazards for other employees in the area, and there can’t have been any accidents involving repairs to that machine.
