Failure to Lockout, Blockout, Tagout machinery and equipment before working on it is a major cause of serious injury. Lockout, Blockout means that any energy source – whether electrical, hydraulic, mechanical, compressed air, or any other source that might cause unexpected movement – must be disengaged or blocked, and electrical sources must be de-energized and “locked” or positively sealed in the OFF position. Even a locked-out machine may not be safe if there are parts of the machine that are not “blocked” to prevent inadvertent movement.
