Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lockout/tagout is the procedure associated with making equipment inoperative for repair or adjustment. It involves isolating the equipment from its energy source and affixing a lock or tag to the energy-isolating device to prevent accidental activation while maintenance or repair work is being carried out. Shutdown and signout may be part of the lockout/tagout procedure, but they do not encompass the entire process. Lockdown is not a recognized term in relation to lockout/tagout.
