Can keyed alike padlocks be used to secure a lockout box?

Lockout boxes are used during group lockout procedures. Keyed alike padlocks are best used when a single worker is responsible for locking out multiple machines, while keyed different padlocks are best used when multiple workers are required to lockout several pieces of equipment to avoid key duplication. Therefore, keyed different padlocks are better suited for securing lock boxes.
