Question

course exam

tagout devices need to be applied where?

on/off switches and stops
energy isolating devices
control panels
lockout devices
machine points of operation
safety guards and safety devices
machine danger zones

Explanation:

Identify the purpose of tagout devices

Tagout devices are prominent warning devices used to protect workers by indicating that an energy isolating device and the equipment being controlled must not be operated until the tagout device is removed.

Determine the correct application location

Under safety standards (such as OSHA), lockout and tagout devices must be affixed directly to energy isolating devices (such as circuit breakers, disconnect switches, or line valves) rather than control panels, on/off switches, or machine points of operation, to ensure the physical source of energy is completely isolated and controlled.

Answer:

• On/off switches and stops
• Energy isolating devices (Correct answer)
• Control panels
• Lockout devices
• Machine points of operation
• Safety guards and safety devices
• Machine danger zones
