1. what is lockout/tagout?

an osha standard for regulating storage of hazardous materials
a regulation about who is qualified to repair machines
a section of the affirmative care act

1. true or false: lockout/tagout standards apply to toaster ovens and other plug-and-cord-connected equipment.

true
false

Explanation:

Question 1

• Tags are warning devices (correct, as lockout tags serve as warnings).
• Tags can only be removed by the applier (correct, per lockout/tagout protocols).
• Tags are safer than locks (incorrect, locks are more secure than tags in lockout/tagout; tags are supplementary warnings, not more secure than locks).
• Tags should be standardized (correct, for consistency in organizations). So the exception is "Tags are safer than locks".

• Lockout/tagout (LOTO) is an OSHA standard (1910.147) for controlling hazardous energy to prevent accidental startup during maintenance/repair.
• The second option is about hazardous materials storage (not LOTO).
• The third is about who repairs machines (not LOTO).
• The fourth is about the Affirmative Action Act (unrelated). So the correct answer is "An OSHA standard for control of hazardous energy".

Lockout/tagout standards (OSHA 1910.147) generally apply to equipment with hazardous energy sources that could cause injury if unexpected startup occurs. Toaster ovens and plug - and - cord - connected equipment (small - scale, low - hazard in typical use for minor maintenance) are usually exempt as they don’t pose significant hazardous energy risks requiring LOTO for normal servicing. So the answer is False.

Answer:

The option "Tags are safer than locks" (the third option)
