The _________ ___ must include the name or names of persons who have secured their locks to the hasp, their contact information, and the date and time when the lockout took place.

• A. Lockout tag
• B. Lockout procedure
• C. Hazard assessment
• D. Permit to work

Answer: (A)

When you isolate energy, the device you lock out is paired with a tag that carries who placed the lock, how to reach them, and when the lockout happened. The lockout tag must include the name or names of the person(s) who have secured their locks to the hasp, their contact information, and the date and time of the lockout. This information provides accountability and a clear point of contact, so anyone working on or around the equipment knows who is responsible and when the isolation occurred, and it guides safe removal of the lock when work is done. The broader concepts of how you perform the isolation (lockout procedure), assessing risks (hazard assessment), or obtaining formal authorization to work (permit to work) are related to the process, but they don’t specify the identifying and timing details that must appear on the lockout tag itself.
