Abstract
A lockout device has a baseplate which mounts to a control panel containing a toggle switch. The baseplate provides a hinged attachment for a cover that is swung down to a locked position in which the operation of the toggle switch is inhibited. In one embodiment the cover is integrally formed with the baseplate, and in a second embodiment the cover is removed when swung open from the locked position.
