Lock-out/tag-out Awareness

A lockout/tag out refers to specific practices and procedures to protect workers from unexpected release of hazardous energy in the form of electrical, mechanical and gas. A lockout typically involves a worker using a device to prevent release of hazardous energy. A Tag out provides information on when the item has been locked out and why.
