Tagout
Tagout is to attach a tag indicating a warning so
that no one will not activate the control panel that
was put in a stopped state.
Tags must include the name of the responsible
person who supervise the work or the operator who
attached the tag.
After completing the work, the operator shall fill in
the work completion date and time and signature in
the work management table and report it to the user
company or supervisor.
The user company or supervisor must prepare a
work management table in advance. If a work that
requires tagouts arises, the user company or
supervisor must record the working classification,
person in charge, and tag number in a table, and
keep the record.
