Does anyone have a lock off procedure/permit they could share with me for clearing blockages in a cardboard compactor?

More information required.

Stored energy is often overlooked (clear the blockage and the pusher plate suddenly moves).

Isolating power/drives is only part of a suitable system of control - there needs to be means to identify those parts of the system under load e.g. pneumatic/hydraulic pressure and to safely dissipate such energy before hands/arms/bodies enter the danger zone.
