Lockout device

A portable lockout device for preventing use of a handle or the like, comprising:

• an inner piece and an outer piece, each of the inner piece and the outer piece having an arcuate outer surface and an arcuate inner surface, wherein said inner piece and said outer piece are telescopically and rotationally engaged such that said inner piece is substantially nested within said outer piece when said lockout device is in an opened position and substantially extended from within said outer piece when said lockout device is in a closed position;
• an arcuate rail projecting from the outer surface of said inner piece;
• an arcuate track disposed on the inner surface of said outer piece, wherein said rail slides along said track to provide telescopic and rotational movement of said inner and outer pieces, wherein the inner piece further comprises a first lock tab disposed on the rail, further wherein at least one opening in the first lock tab aligns with a corresponding opening in a second lock tab disposed on an outer surface of the outer piece, to allow insertion of a locking member therethrough.
