Zorluk: KolayAuthor's Primary Purpose

Lockout/tagout procedures are critical safety protocols used in maintenance facilities to ensure that heavy machinery remains completely de-energized during repairs. Before servicing any pneumatic or electrical system, technicians must isolate all energy sources and apply a physical padlock to the breaker or valve. A standardized tag containing the technician's name and date is affixed to warn others against restoring power. Following these specific steps prevents accidental startup, protecting workers from severe electrical shock and mechanical injury.
