Lockout Tags

Lockout tags are used where there is a potential danger of an accident or damage due to operation of any equipment or machinery. The damage may occur during machine operation, maintenance activity or during its servicing. The lockout tags are caution signs and they ensure the safety of employees or people who pass the highly sensitive machinery daily. Lockout tags are used as a precautionary measure to safeguard people and environment. If necessary, the lockout tag must contain the name and contact information of the person one needs to contact if something goes wrong. While putting lockout tags, one needs to follow the rules and regulation in order to maintain proper safety. The rules and regulation may vary according to the sensitivity of the machinery. For example, a nuclear machine has to be operated only in supervision of the experts and if it has a lockout tag on it, only the person responsible can work with it, whereas a simple machine like candy machine do not require a particular electrician, if the machine has a fault in it.

In the absence of a lock-out tag out process in place, the possibility of accidents due to ignorance increases greatly. According to standards, hazardous sources of energy, such as electrical, mechanical or thermal, etc. must be "isolated and rendered inoperative" before any maintenance and servicing activity related to them can begin. Timely checks must be carried out to make sure that the lock out program is in place.
