Lockout-Tagout Guidelines
• Place a tag on all padlocks. On the tag, each
operator must put their own name and date.
(These locks are only to be removed by the
person who signs the tag)
• If more than one person is working on the
machine, each additional person places a lock
and tag on each disconnect.
• Only each operator may remove their own
lock and tag.
Important:
When many people are all working
on the same machine you will need a multiple
lockout device, such as the one shown here.
Follow the P-R-O-P-E-R lockout rule of thumb.
