Pretty sure that’s an Australian LOTO tag made by AAA printing. Which means it definitely says “cock”. Only thing that’s surprising about this on an Aussie mine site is that the word used doesn’t start with “cu…”
For additional evidence look at previous L and Cs written on the tag. Def Cs.
My guess is that someone either went to repair it and couldn’t find the issue so this additional helpful tag was added. Or similarly maybe a muppet thought it was still ok to use and again, this helpful tag was added for reinforcement.

What’s on the other side? It sounds important

I used to put these on broken equipment, intensely fucking annoying job, had my boss cut one off, plug back in the unit, call me into his office to chew me out for DARING to lock out tag out a working unit, and then the fire alarm goes off. Guess what started the fire? I couldn’t quit fast enough.

There’s always some jackass pulling this kind of thing. I’ve even heard of people cutting off locks for locking out things, including a shit like breaker boxes while a guy was working on wiring. Jackass coworker pulled that, blew the guy who locked it and tagged it right off of his ladder and into the hospital. The boss suggested to the idiot that cut it off that he could either resign immediately or wait until injured coworker came back from the hospital and rehabilitation and deal with him personally. Idiot stick quit.

isnt the LOTO procedure to ask the person listed on the tag whats wrong with it before actually trying to use it. Boss ego crazy to completely just ignore the tag without understanding why it was on there in the first place.

Oh yeah, the other side is just the info on who put the tag in, and identifying the equipment so people don’t rotate the same tags to other equipment.
