It is a written system of how hazardous energy will be controlled before a worker is exposed to it. For instance, when repairing a machine, if the machine were started while a worker was still making repairs, the worker could be killed or injured. Lock out/ tag out would prescribe how to turn off all power, lock it in the off position, tag it (what is turned off, by who, when, why) and release or block all stored energy in the machine.
