Based on the passage, what does the term lockout/tagout mean? Before replacing a damaged motor starter, the electrician performs a hazard assessment—a quick review of what could cause injury, such as energized parts or moving equipment. She then uses lockout/tagout by turning off the disconnect, placing a lock so it cannot be switched back on, and attaching a tag that identifies who applied the lock and why. She also puts on required PPE, meaning personal protective equipment like insulated gloves and eye protection. After verifying the equipment is de-energized with a meter, she begins work, knowing the lock and tag help prevent someone else from restoring power unexpectedly.
