There has to be a way to make sure that does not happen ever again. The worker that goes in can lock the door open (both ends maybe) and gets the ONLY key.

There are multiple ways. The OSHA fines were because those ways were not followed.

I know this poor fellow did not volunteer his fate, but DarwinAwards.com humorously commemorates those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.

I forgot to mention the padlock and keys in my pocket.

Good job!

Stay safe.

Extra precautions are good.

By your name I figured you were a drunken Irish or a cop. If your last name was Italian I would figure you were in the Mafia.</s> In my field I have worked with many people with your surname or equivalent and most of them were from the Philippines. I’m sure a lot of people with Latino names can look at these hypocrites and say that their family has actually been in the US longer than Mr. Smith.

Over time, I’ve come to believe the tag is as important, and perhaps more important, than the lock.

Sounds like a confined space entry violation as well.

I hear some well-disciplined places make do with just the tags. The principle is clear: if you didn’t put the tag/lock on, you don’t take it off.

SHAME on you FREEPERS - the only one so far, with an ounce of sense, humanity and knowing where the line of decency is - it seems, Gamecock, who posted:

“Too horrible to even make a witty comment.

RIP”

Thank you, Gamecock.

I can’t read anymore of the remarks- sickening!

There becomes an eventual problem with that. It requires investigation by a supervisor, but an untagged lock, that the system has been walked down and inspected, is a big problem when it is time for production to get going.

Electricians have forgotten to take off locks. I've been a sites where a untagged lock has been there for weeks and no one knows why or who. You have to have a procedure for removing locks left unattended without tags.

My tags always include my cell phone number.

That was part of the OSHA fine, not identifying it as a confined space and treating the entry that way.
