    This is why Lock-Out Tag-Out (LOTO) is so important.

    Protects yourself protect others. Never go into or work on a machine unless it cannot be energized or stops installed.

    This happens alot in manufacturing esp when people get lazy and don’t follow procedures or management doesnt enforce/train/make it possible.

      And taking bolt cutters to a lockout lock without a thorough investigation of where the owner of said lock is should be treated as either attempted murder or murder, depending on the outcome.

      Edit: not necessarily applicable to this particular story, but hearing about it being done in some cases pisses me off.
