Keeping tag-out records is the responsibility of the person who has authority to authorize and oversee the lockout/tagout process. This Authorizing Officer is charged with approving tag-out actions, ensuring equipment is properly isolated, and maintaining the official records that show what is tagged, why, who applied it, and when it’s removed. This centralized accountability helps ensure safety and traceability, so the logs stay accurate and up to date. While the CO oversees overall command, or the Safety Officer ensures safety program compliance, or the Maintenance Supervisor handles maintenance tasks, none of them normally own the tag-out documentation the way the Authorizing Officer does.
