In the EU guidelines 89/655 stipulate the basic requirements on employee health and safety when handling industrial equipment. Additionally EN 1037 dwells on procedures to deal with energy isolation and dissipation to prevent hazardous equipment from being re-energised, and safely clear a risk-prone area for use.

Electrical lockout devices are an inexpensive but essential part of any LOTO procedure and strategy when maintenance work on electrical systems is being performed. Electrical lockout systems cost is dependant on the size, voltage, amperage and type of lockout being performed.
