- What is Lockout?
- Masterlock Safety Series OSHA Approved
Lockout / Tagout is planned security procedure that consists of shutting off the power of industrial machines or equipment while repairing or servicing.
This procedure protects employees from risks due to power sources. Used properly in conjunction with a well-planned lockout process, the safety padlock helps ensure that employees will not inadvertently energize a piece of equipment while some one else is working on it. Master Lock provides elaborated keyed systems for better security : 1 employee – 1 padlock – 1 key , this means all employees carry a unique key and no one else’s key can open the other employee’s safety padlocks. Master Lock offers enough unique key numbers to serve all current employees, with room for future growth (+1.000.000 key differs available).
