It is a lockout hasp.

Unfortunately he's right. The hole is there to be locked and tagged. You will have a hard time finding any outlet using a spring loaded ball to retain the plug - they will all use simple spring clips. Further, the operation to punch the holes and the quality issues with aligning the holes means that it's more expensive to have the hole than the teeny amount of metal saved. You know a little too much, please humble yourself. Like, how can you possibly bring up the lockout/tagout for industrial machinery that will never, ever use a NEMA 1 plug for single phase? You can even find name-brand industrial lock-out devices for $6 on Amazon that use the lockout holes to lockout the plug.

Leaving the circuit shorted won't prevent someone from flipping the breaker back on, and if you happen to be upstream of the short when that happens (and also touching the hot wire) you will become the short.

If I can't control the safety of the transmitter, I unplug it and use a plug lockout on the feedline with my own locks that no one has keys to.
There exist lockout tag locks that break with hammer/blow force, but I'm not going to jeopardize my safety if some idiot intentionally overrides the lockout.
My contact information is on the lock, they can call me if they think it shouldn't be there - because chances are they're in the wrong and it still shouldn't be connected.

"literally impossible to turn the switch on or off... " is an exaggeration (just need a screw driver), but it would slow them down.
Maybe add some screws for the switch plate that has a non-standard head that a thief isn't likely to have one them.

Box plus two or more padlocks.
Safe with two locks.
Numbered Electrical Box Seal
Probably like this: https://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-Lockout-Tagout-Electrical/dp/B001HWF4ME because if you remove one of those with my name on it without going through the proper procedures, you're getting written up and disciplined(and potentially fired) for violating our LOTO policies.
If you are doing that get these or these.

We use these at work. LO/TO style FTW!

I've used the Brady ones like others have posted, and the link you have. I also like these because they work well in 277 & 120 breakers, and on some you can even close the door on the panel with lock and all. And on top of that they are cheaper, and have both metal & plastic construction, which I trust a tad more.
This is more practical.
I say pull the plug and place a plug LOTO cage on it.
My power button is on the top of my case and I put one of these over it to prevent the cat from turning it off. Works great.
