WUWEOT 8 Pack Lockout Tagout Hasp, Tamper-Proof Padlock Hasp, Stainless Steel, 1 in Jaw

What to check before you buy

One lock, one key, one worker

Under OSHA 1910.147 each authorized employee applies their own lock, and only that employee removes it. Shared or master-keyed locks defeat the purpose.

Devices must be durable and identifiable

Lockout devices have to withstand the environment they are used in and must identify the worker who applied them. A padlock with no identification does not meet the standard.

Verify the isolation

Applying the device is not the end. The standard requires verifying that the energy has actually been isolated and dissipated before work begins.

Stored energy counts

Springs, hydraulic and pneumatic pressure, capacitors, elevated components and thermal energy all have to be released or restrained, not just the electrical supply.

Frequently asked questions

What does OSHA 1910.147 actually require?

A documented energy control program, energy control procedures for the equipment, employee training, and periodic inspection of the procedures at least annually.

Can one lock cover several workers?

No. Each authorized employee working on the equipment applies their own lock. Group lockout uses a group lockbox so every worker still applies an individual lock.

Is a tag alone ever enough?

Only where the energy-isolating device cannot accept a lock. Tagout alone must then be supported by additional means providing protection equivalent to lockout.

Who can remove a lockout device?

The employee who applied it. Removal by anyone else is permitted only under a specific documented procedure that includes verifying the worker is not on site and informing them before they resume work.

How often must procedures be inspected?

At least annually, by an authorized employee other than the one using the procedure being inspected, with the inspection certified in writing.
