The frightening part of your story is it is not only enough for us to be trained in lockout/tagout, but what about the untrained trying to remove the lock? I was an apprentice working with a mechanic, and we were working on 277v lighting. we had turned off the breaker, but not locked or tagged. We were in the building alone ( new building, punchlist). All of a sudden he started bouncing around the 2x2 ceiling grid like a top (the building super saw the breaker off, and turned it back on). At first I thought he was fooling around, finally I had to pull the ladder from under him. He broke his leg and sustained multiple burns. I have been a safety nut ever since.
