Actually you are required by OSHA to do exactly that. You are required to remove your lock at the end of the shift. The rule does not permit you to leave your lock in place if you are not working on the equipment.

O.K., but what about instances where the equipment being worked on MUST stay de-energized because work is not yet completed? So OSHA, in their infinite wisdom says ya gotta take your lock off when you leave?!? It does indeed leave an unsafe condition!! To h**l with OSHA, if the damn thing isn't ready to be energized, my lock stays on for however long it has to!!

Another example of agency mentality!!

A stupid rule I will break every time! If the equipment isn't safe to turn on, my lock stays and contact me if they need to know why.

I need some green tea.....Earl Grey perhaps.

Stupid should be painful.
