This is in the same building as our office. Someone has put a tag on a piece of equipment warning that it shouldn't be used. He or she also put a padlock on the emergency disconnect. There's just one little problem...
(In case you were wondering, "Nödströmbrytare" means emergency disconnect in Swedish.)

Frenchie- I believe that whether you can lock the disconnect in the "on" position depends upon whether there is overcurrent protection at, or next to, the disconnect. I see a lot of such "lock-ons" at service entrances, just before the meters/panels.
