"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

Suppose that you and your accomplice Wakefield have managed to steal the Queen's crown jewels from Buckingham Palace. You disabled the internal security cameras, but an external surveillance camera captured you both on the grounds, so you were both arrested and locked up in separate interrogation rooms. All the police have on you now is criminal trespassing, which carries a sentence of a year, but the detective in charge wants to nail you both for the more serious charge of grand theft. A trial will be expensive, though, and you may manage to get off altogether because you'll probably hire a big shot defense attorney, so the detective wants to get a confession out of both of you to save time and money and ensure a conviction. He thus offers you the following deal (which he'll also offer to Wakefield): If you confess to incriminate Wakefield, you'll be released on probation, and Wakefield will serve ten years in prison. If you don't confess, and Wakefield instead confesses and incriminates you, he'll be released and you'll serve ten years in prison. If you both confess, then you'll both get five years (cooperation reduces the charge). And if neither of you confesses, you'll each get one year for criminal trespassing. Suppose you and Wakefield are both egoists. What is in your best interest - confess or not? When Wakefield considers what is in his best interest, what will he do? Here is a visual aid that summarizes the four possible combinations of choice and their outcomes. Wakefield Confess: 5 years each Not Confess: You - probation, Wakefield - 10 years Confess You Not Confess You - 10 years, Wakefield - probation 1 year each
