Lockout/Tagout
National Summary

The purpose of the Lockout/Tagout standard is to prevent accidents to employees who are servicing machines and equipment. The regulation calls for the control of energy-isolating devices by attaching locks (lockout) to prevent the machine from being operated, or tags (tagout) that warn people not to start up the machine. The employer must set up a program that includes energy-control procedures, employee training, and periodic inspections.
