Am I correctly understanding that these locks are some sort of failsafe on dangerous machinery and that there are procedures and specific reasons for unlocking them properly?

You put them on machinery so no one can accidentally turn it on while someone is working on or even in it.
Last thing you want is someone getting turned to paste because the hydraulic press they were in the middle of servicing got turned on.
