Steel & Brass Padlocks and Tag Out System
What is Lockout/Tagout?
Lockout / Tagout is a planned safety procedure which involves turning off the energy supply of industrial machinery and equipment whilst maintenance work or repairs are being carried out. This procedure protects workers from the risks posed by live machinery or electricity.
Why implement a Lockout/Tagout program?
Reduced accident rates and injury costs EU Figures show that 10 to 15% of all fatal accidents at work and 15 to 20% of all accidents are connected with maintenance. Common injuries include fractures, lacerations, amputations, burns and shocks. Due to the serious nature of many LO/TO accidents, injury- related costs can be exorbitant.
