Under which circumstance can lockout/tagout procedures be skipped?

Explanation:
Lockout/tagout is used to prevent a machine from starting up or releasing stored energy while someone is working on it. You only skip the procedures when the equipment is not actively being used and no servicing or maintenance is being performed that could energize the machine or release energy. If the machine could be re-energized or if someone will be working on it, LOTO must be applied to protect workers from unexpected startup or energy release.
