This is why Lock-Out Tag-Out (LOTO) is so important.

Protects yourself protect others. Never go into or work on a machine unless it cannot be energized or stops installed.

This happens alot in manufacturing esp when people get lazy and don't follow procedures or management doesnt enforce/train/make it possible.

And taking bolt cutters to a lockout lock without a thorough investigation of where the owner of said lock is should be treated as either attempted murder or murder, depending on the outcome.

Edit: not necessarily applicable to this particular story, but hearing about it being done in some cases pisses me off.

If you cut a lock and someone gets hurt or killed there is jail time and employers are aware of this. The bigger issue is that so many employees are either not trained or just do not lock out when they should. My personal lock is so worn that it looks like beach glass but the majority I see "in use" are basically new in box condition.
