7.3.4-2 Override of Interlocks, Lockouts, and Lockins

The design of interlocks, lockouts, and lockins should not limit the users' authority unless there is a clear safety reason.

Additional Information:
Error-prevention measures (e.g., interlocks, lockouts, and lockins) that cannot be overridden by the user may be detrimental to safety. Sometimes a normally undesirable tactic may be the only thing a user can do to solve a problem.
