Manufacturing processing machines such as drill press (drilling machine) or milling machine use different cutting tool bits for different cutting operations. Lockout / Tagout is required when changing cutting tool bits in these machines.

Lockout-tagout safety (LOTO) or lock and tag is a safety procedure which is used in industry and research settings to ensure that dangerous machines are properly shut off and not able to be started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or servicing work.
Adi S.
"Lockout/tagout" refers to specific practices and procedures to safeguard employees from the unexpected energization or startup of machinery and equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during service or maintenance activities. This requires, in part, that a designated individual turns off and disconnects the machinery or equipment from its energy source(s) before performing service or maintenance and that the authorized employee(s) either lock or tag the energy-isolating device(s) to prevent the release of hazardous energy and take steps to verify that the energy has been isolated effectively. If the potential exists for the release of hazardous stored energy or for the re-accumulation of stored energy to a hazardous level, the employer must ensure that the employee(s) take steps to prevent injury that may result from the release of the stored energy. Against this background: a) Define lockout/Tagout b) Describe lockout/Tagout before service or maintenance activities. c) Implement Lockout/Tagout before servicing a transformer d) Contrast lockout and tagout e) Weigh lockout and tagout
