lockout-tagout
Machine isolation procedure
Lockout-tagout is a safety procedure for ensuring that dangerous machinery is properly shut down and cannot be restarted until maintenance or repair is complete.
Workers lock the power source and attach a tag identifying who placed the lock: OSHA requires lockout-tagout training for all equipment operators.
Often abbreviated LOTO.
