Question

select the choice that best completes the following statement.
lockout/tagout procedures prevent:
a) overloading circuits
b) energizing circuits
c) turning off broken circuits
d) locking away circuits

Explanation:

Lockout/tagout procedures are safety protocols. Their main purpose is to ensure that equipment is de - energized before maintenance or repair. Overloading circuits is prevented by circuit breakers or fuses. Turning off broken circuits is a reactive measure after a fault. Locking away circuits is not a standard safety concept related to lockout/tagout. Energizing circuits during maintenance is dangerous, and lockout/tagout procedures are designed to stop this.

Answer:

B. Energizing circuits
