That is the purpose of a lockout tagout device . All lockout tagouts have some things in common. The lockout is installed and a lock is placed on it. Only the electrician doing the work should have the key. A tagout is then placed onto the lock to notify everyone that work on circuit wiring is being done. The tag warns them not to tamper with the device. The tag should have the date and contact information of the electrician performing the work. Every electrician must use some lockout tagout device when working on live circuit wiring. OSHA mandates the use of lockout tagout. Lockout tagout can save lives.
