Scout's Toolbox Talks

The right device and a clear tag are what stand between you and a deadly restart.

Lockout/Tagout is only effective when the correct devices are used and clearly labeled. These toolbox talks cover types of lockout devices (electrical, valve, mechanical), proper tag use, labeling requirements, color coding, personal locks vs. group locks, and preventing unauthorized removal. Use them to train workers on how to apply LOTO hardware properly and ensure equipment stays safely out of service.

Use these toolbox talks to reinforce proper use of lockout/tagout devices and maintain OSHA-compliant energy control on every jobsite.
