All equipment and machinery shall be locked out or tagged out to protect against accidental, inadvertent start-up, or operation that may cause injury to personnel performing maintenance, service, repair, or modifications to machinery or equipment. The lockout/tagout program ensures Marine Corps personnel are protected from injury during any servicing or maintenance done on machinery or equipment, where unexpected energization, start-up or release of any type of energy (e.g., electricity, steam, hydraulic, pneumatic, gravity) could occur. Anyone attempting operating or attempting to operate any switch, valve, or other energy isolating device which is locked or tagged out may be subject to disciplinary action.
