Resource Highlight: MCAA’s Lockout/Tagout Safety Resources

March 19, 2021

Each week, MCAA will highlight one or more of the educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership. This week, we focus on MCAA’s lockout/tagout safety resources, which can help keep workers safe when they work with and around stored energy.

MCAA has received several recent inquiries about lockout/tagout safety procedures for various mechanical construction and service applications. Lockout/tagout refers to a process for working safely with and around stored energy that can be hazardous to our workers if appropriate protective measures are not implemented and performed correctly. Among other applications, lockout/tagout applies to safe pressure testing operations, safe line breaking, and working safely around energized electrical equipment.
