Lockout Tags and Signage
Lockout tags and signage communicate that equipment must not be operated while maintenance or servicing is in progress. They support padlocks and devices by making the lockout condition visible to affected workers.
Quick guide: Use lockout tags to identify who applied the lockout, why the equipment is isolated and that the equipment must not be operated until authorised removal.

|---|---|---|

FAQ
Do tags physically stop equipment from starting?
No. Tags communicate the lockout status, while locks and devices provide physical control.
