A “Caution – Locked Out for Safety” sign is essential for alerting everyone that equipment or machinery is currently locked out to protect workers during maintenance or repair. This clear warning prevents accidental use or startup, which could cause serious injury or damage.

Displaying this sign helps ensure that only authorised personnel know the equipment is safely isolated, reinforcing adherence to lockout/tagout procedures and maintaining a safe working environment.

It also promotes awareness among staff about ongoing maintenance activities, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or unsafe attempts to operate the machinery.

In summary, the sign plays a vital role in preventing accidents, protecting workers, and supporting safety compliance in the workplace.
