Proper lockout tagout practices safeguard workers from the release of hazardous energy. Workers must be trained in the function of the energy control program and have the skills required for safe application usage and removal of the energy control devices.

performing lockout/tagout (LOTO) on an energized electrical conductor
chapter 21
Group lockout tag out is a safety procedure where multiple individuals working on the same equipment or machinery each place their own lock and tag on the energy isolation point. This ensures that everyone in the group is aware of who is working on the equipment and prevents the equipment from being energized until all locks and tags are removed. It helps to enhance safety by providing visual confirmation that all workers are accounted for and protected.
locks and tags must clearly indicate that the operation of the energy- isolating device is prohibited
