Mechanisms under load or pressure, such as springs, are de-energized by releasing and blocking them. Raised dies, lifts, or any equipment that could slide, fall, or roll are de-energized by securing them with blocks, special brackets, or special stands.
How can you ensure that a circuit is de-energized?
A lock and tag must be placed on each disconnecting means used to de-energize circuits and equipment on which work is to be done. The lock must be attached so as to prevent persons from re-energizing the circuit unless they resort to undue force or the use of tools.
