Abstract:
1. A lockout and tagging device for a switchable energy isolation device, the isolation device having a female receptacle and a movable actuator for switching the isolation device between isolating and non-isolating states, the lockout and tagging device comprising: a base member configured to support a tag; a male member extending from the base member and including a portion complementary to the receptacle to retain the male member in the female receptacle after insertion of the male member into the female receptacle; and a blocking member extending from the base member, the blocking member positively blocking the actuator from moving and switching the isolation device into its non-isolating state when the male member is retained in the female receptacle, wherein a circuit coupled to the isolation device is positively de-energized when the actuator is blocked in the isolating state of the isolation device by the blocking member.
