All workshops and departments in the factory have at least one dedicated Lockout/tagout. Managers and maintenance personnel should have more Lockout/tagout to assist with Lockout/tagout. One device has more than one motor. It is required to provide the corresponding Lockout/tagout. Other related devices (such as valves) should also provide the corresponding locks and plates.
The Lockout/tagout of the workshop or department should be managed by the supervisor of the workshop or department or a dedicated person. Locks and tags should have detailed detailed files and usage records (the usage records should indicate the usage situation, time, and the person in charge of the usage). If the Lockout/tagout is lost or they cannot be used for some reason, report it to your supervisor immediately.
