Lockout
Lockout/tagout procedures serve as crucial safety measures in business and industrial settings, aimed at preventing accidental energization of machinery or equipment during maintenance, repair, or servicing. By locking out energy sources such as electrical circuits, hydraulic systems, or mechanical equipment, these procedures safeguard workers from unexpected startup, which could result in serious injuries or fatalities. Lockouts ensure compliance with regulatory standards like OSHA, mitigating risks and fostering a culture of workplace safety.
