Video Transcript

What do lockout and tagout mean, both are procedures use to prevent hazardous energy from injuring workers. For lockout, a lock is put on a disconnect switch, circuit breaker, valve handler or other energy isolating device in default position. The lock commonly used for lockout is a standard lock with key, however a combination lock is acceptable as well. For tagout, a written warning tag is place on a lockout area of the equipment or machine. Tags do not provide the physical restriction of a lock, the OSHA standard allows the tag in the place of the lock only if the tagout provides the equal protection of a lockout. All locks and tags must be consistent by color, shape or size. Employees should be trained in the limitation of a tagout system.
