These accidents are usually caused by energy that was not released properly.

The LOTO system is made up of a number of locks, tags, and other devices to secure, isolate the device from an electric source. All "affected", "authorized" and "qualified" personnel should be instructed on the use of lockout/tagout devices. These devices include, but are not only restricted to locks, chains and padlocks. Each device is identified and labeled with the date and time it was put in use along with the name and title of the person authorized, and the purpose of the lockout or tagout (repairs maintenance, repairs and so on.). It must be clearly stated that these devices are not to be removed until the LOTO procedure is completed.
