Safety cable lockout tagout refers to a safety procedure used in industrial settings to prevent the accidental startup of machinery or equipment during maintenance or repair. It involves the use of a lockout device, such as a cable lock, to physically prevent the operation of the equipment, and a tagout system to communicate the reason for the lockout and the identity of the person who applied it.
The cable lock is used to secure the energy-isolating device of the equipment, such as a switch or valve, in the off or safe position. Once the lock is in place, a tag is attached to it to provide information about the lockout, including the name of the authorized employee who applied it, the date and time of the lockout, and the reason for the lockout.
This procedure helps to ensure the safety of maintenance workers by preventing the release of hazardous energy while they are working on the equipment. It is an important part of a comprehensive safety program in industrial environments and is often required by regulatory standards such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in the United States.
