What does a lockout/tagout procedure aim to prevent?

  1. Falls from elevation

  2. Engulfment in sawdust

  3. Injuries from energized equipment

  4. Roadway incidents

The correct answer is: Injuries from energized equipment

A lockout/tagout procedure aims to prevent injuries from energized equipment by securing the energy-isolating devices of the machinery, such as switches or valves, to prevent the release of hazardous energy. The other options are incorrect because they refer to hazards that are not directly related to energized equipment. Falls from elevation refers to accidents that may occur when working at a height, engulfment in sawdust is not a common or specific hazard in most workplaces, and roadway incidents are not directly related to energized equipment. Therefore, the best answer is C.
