Workplace Horrors
Added 2024-02-06 11:15:01 +0000 UTCI showed a few lockout/tagout devices in the last part of this video… but there are many, many more out there. In fact, there’s pretty much a device custom-designed for locking out any machine you can think of.
Here’s one to prevent a device from being unplugged, and here’s one that allows multiple people to lockout access to a keybox – with the keys within only accessible once every single person has removed their padlock. Oh, and here’s one for locking out an emergency stop button!
These lockout devices are usually pretty cheap and simple, but they’re super well-designed. It’s kind of pleasing to see just how many have been developed and how they function – especially those that are designed to take multiple padlocks. Incredibly smart design work!

This video was particularly tragic. Especially the surfboard one.
