    You’re about to crawl inside a big dangerous machine to fix it, so you put a lock and tag on the power switch so that nobody can turn it on while you’re in there.

      A big zoo near me has a raceway between different animal enclosures. Most of the animals are monkeys and they’re not that dangerous but for the dangerous animal they have a specific LOTO system that says “JAGUAR HAS ACCESS.”

      For anyone who might have a hard time conceptualizing its use in an industrial setting, this is basically a one-for-one comparison.
