A tag attached to an isolated energy source, naming who applied it.
Also known as: LOTO tag, Danger tag, Isolation tag, Tag on a switch
A lockout tag names the person who isolated the equipment and only that person may remove it. That rule is the whole system: the tag is not a warning but a claim of control, and removing someone else's tag is a serious breach rather than an inconvenience.
Denotes a tag attached to an isolated energy source during maintenance, identifying who applied the isolation.
Contexts: Public information
May be removed only by the person who applied it, which is the rule that makes the system work rather than a procedural preference.
Contexts: Public information
Accompanies a physical lock in a full lockout system, the tag carrying the information and the lock enforcing the isolation.
Contexts: Public information
Requires each worker on a job to apply their own lock and tag, so isolation cannot be released while anyone remains at risk.
Contexts: Public information
A rectangular card, usually red and white, attached by a cable tie or clip to an isolating device, printed with the word DANGER and fields for a name and date.
