Lockout/Tagout tagging should identify what information?

Lockout/Tagout tagging should identify what information?

• A. The Worker and the Equipment or Circuits Being Worked On
• B. Date Only
• C. Weather Conditions
• D. Department Name

Answer: (A)

Lockout/Tagout tagging is about making clear who is in charge of the control and exactly what is being controlled. The tag should identify the worker who applied it and the specific equipment or circuits being worked on, so everyone knows which energy sources are isolated and who is responsible for the work. This prevents confusion, accidental re-energization, or someone removing the lockout prematurely. Dates or weather conditions don’t by themselves convey the critical link between the person and the equipment, and a department name isn’t relevant to the control of hazardous energy.
