Lockouts

Lockouts are crucial devices for locking off various machines and equipment designed to prevent injuries and accidents and protect employees during maintenance and repair applications. After shutting them down properly, these devices are fitted to the desired equipment, and all the primary and secondary power sources are disconnected. Lockout devices warn operators and employees of the potential danger due to their specific labelling and inform them of potential hazards associated with safety isolation. 

Furthermore, these safety lock-offs are made from highly sturdy and durable materials for added strength and come in varied colours for easy identification. In addition, they are widely used in industrial and commercial settings for protection and safety purposes with different body and shackle sizes.

Different Lockouts and Their Uses

• Safety Padlocks – are used in combination with lockout devices and hasps with different shackles and body sizes. These padlocks are best where several workers are onsite to prevent equipment usage at specific times. These padlocks should comply with OSHA standards and with each key for each employee. 
• Circuit Breaker Lockouts – As the name indicates, these lockout devices ensure miniature circuit breakers’ safety locking applications and are suitable for electricians working on electrical circuits. 
• Cable Lockouts – They are designed to use on larger equipment for isolating multiple items. The safety padlock is attached simply by fitting the cable around the equipment. 
• Gate Valve Lockouts – These lockouts are designed to lock out valves while maintaining or repairing where a padlock significantly secures the valve lockouts in place by attaching them to the valve handle.
• Ball Valve Lockouts – prevent the valve from opening by clamping over the lever and preventing the handle from turning. The padlock through the attachment point secures the ball valve lockouts in place. 
• Lockout Hasps – These lock-offs are crucial devices for lockout tagout safety applications that feature multiple safety padlocks. Their jaws pass through the attachment point of the desired lockout devices, which are then secured in place.
