Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Locks and Tags
When you purchase lockout/tagout devices, keep the following points in mind:
Lockout devices and tagout devices shall be singularly identifi ed as belonging to only
one worker; shall be the only device(s) used for controlling energy; shall not be used for
other purposes.
Tagout devices shall warn against hazardous conditions if the pivot is energized and
shall include a legend such as the following: DO NOT START, DO NOT OPEN, DO NOT
CLOSE, DO NOT ENERGIZE, and DO NOT OPERATE. Attachment devices for tags
shall be non reusable and have a minimum of 50 lb. (222 N) breaking strength.
Locks used to lockout machines or equipment shall have a key unique to that lock.
Using Tags without Locks
There are limitations to the tagout system. Since tags are warning devices only, they
must meet the following requirements:
• They must be legible. (If you employ migrant workers, the tags should also be
bilingual.)
• They must not be removed, bypassed, or ignored.
• They must be sturdy enough to withstand the elements and be securely attached.
