The NMC LOTAG36-25 lockout tag is made of 15 mil vinyl for water and chemical resistance, and has a red, white, and black "Danger" logo and diagonal red and white stripes on both sides for high visibility. Text on the front of the tag reads, "Do Not Operate - This lock/tag may only be removed by:" followed by three blank lined areas labeled "Name," "Dept," and "Expected Completion." Text on the back of the tag reads, "This energy source has been locked out! - Unauthorized removal of this lock/tag may result in possible discharge. Remarks:" followed by several blank lined areas for customization. This tag has a tensile strength of 6,300 pounds per square inch to help resist unauthorized removal. It includes a 3/8" diameter hole for fastening and a reinforced brass grommet for longer wear. This tag is part of a lockout/tagout (LOTO) safety procedure required at facilities where a device or energy source needs to be isolated during maintenance and repair. The tag measures 6 x 3 inches (H x W). (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right.)

Lockout/tagout (LOTO) safety procedures require that tagout devices meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 1910.147(c)(5) standards for quality assurance. Lockout tags (also called safety tags) use color and warning text to help prevent machine operation or power activation during maintenance and repair. They are commonly used to identify the schedule and authority responsible for a lockout procedure. Sometimes a tag s thickness will be measured in mils. One mil equals one thousandth of an inch.
