Whenever a lift truck or machine has mechanical failure and is unsafe to operate, it must be locked out until repaired by an authorized mechanic.

OSHA states that companies must isolate from its energy source, and render inoperative any machine or equipment prior to servicing, maintenance, or repair by employees (1910.147).

The Equipment Lock-out Box is designed to lock-out a wide variety of machines and energy sources. It also comes complete with a lock and four lock-out tags with accompanying pull-straps.
