Tags are only visual warning signs with no physical restriction function, which cannot prevent accidental breaker operation.
Circuit breaker lockouts provide physical mechanical locking, which is the mandatory core requirement of OSHA standards.
Tag-only operation is not compliant for formal LOTO energy isolation.
