Lockout Tagout
Lockout, in the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) context, is a safety procedure used to ensure that machinery or equipment is safely shut down and cannot be restarted during maintenance or servicing. This involves isolating energy sources by locking them with specific devices (lockout/tagout) to prevent accidental start-up or release of hazardous energy. This procedure aims to protect workers from unexpected machine movements, electrical shocks, or other injuries that may occur during repair or maintenance work. Proper training, clear protocols, and the use of lockout devices are crucial to implement this safety measure effectively and prevent workplace accidents related to machinery or equipment operation.
