Question 1
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures are related to workplace safety. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, note: the option has a typo as "OSHA" not "DSHA" but it's the correct entity) establishes workplace safety regulations including LOTO. The American Manufacturing Association (AMA) is a trade association, not a government entity for safety regs. EPA deals with environmental protection, not workplace safety for LOTO. NFPA deals with fire protection, not LOTO requirements.
In lockout/tagout procedures, the person who applies the tagout (the maintenance person here) is the only one with the authority to remove it, unless specific procedures for transfer of authority are followed, which is not indicated here. A supervisor, another authorized employee, or the safety coordinator do not have the authority to remove a tagout placed by another employee unless proper protocols are followed.
Lockout/Tagout is required (with exceptions) when performing servicing, maintenance, or repair on equipment where energy could be released unexpectedly. "If an appliance is in use" is incorrect (LOTO is for when equipment is not in normal use, like maintenance). "If hazardous materials are stored" is unrelated to LOTO's trigger (LOTO is about energy, not hazardous material storage).
