About:
When safety becomes an assumption, mistakes happen.
Mike thought he did everything right.
He turned off the power.
He locked it out to prevent accidents.
But he missed one critical step - verifying the right energy source.
The result?
A machine that wasn’t fully powered down. A mistake that could have cost him far more than just time.
Here’s the lesson:

Next time you use Lockout/Tagout:
Identify the right energy source.
Turn it off and double-check that it controls the right machine.
