Electrical energy is present in power transmission lines, circuit breakers, motors and even in devices such as batteries that store electrical energy. You should lockout/tagout when repairing electrical circuits or cleaning or lubricating machinery’s moving part. When energy is not controlled workers can be injured or killed. Always de-energize potentially dangerous sources before maintenance. Never work on live circuits that will expose personnel to an electrical hazard. Following lockout/tagout procedures, the use of proper personal protective equipment and adequate supervision. Lockout/tagout prevents electrical energy from injuring or killing workers.
