Lock-Out/Tag-Out for Affected/Authorized Personnel

(16 min.) When we say lockout that means locking out something. Naturally, tagging means applying a tag. In your company, lockout and tagout can be two of the most important things you can do for safety, particularly when you''re using machines and equipment. Generally, the safety purpose of lockout/tagout is to prevent machinery or equipment from unexpected startup or release of hazardous energy while the machinery or equipment is being serviced or maintained. Keep in mind that lockout/tagout safety is more than just turning off the electricity. It means controlling the release of hazardous energy as well.
