The ability to control hazardous energy on the worksite is an important part of maintaining the safety of all team members, particularly in industries with heavy machinery that are often serviced or need to be maintained frequently. Severe injuries or fatalities most commonly occur when unexpected startup or release of stored energy from electrical, hydraulic, or mechanical sources suddenly happens. This is why OSHA mandates Lockout Tagout (LOTO) procedures to reduce these risks by making sure that there is a systematic approach to disabling equipment and preventing energy releases.
MasterLock has established itself through the years as a trusted provider of Lockout Tagout solutions. They offer professional locks and other accessories that help maintain safe compliance with OSHA standards and international safety regulations. From robust padlocks with Zenex Thermoplastic or laminated steel bodies to comprehensive kits, MasterLock’s range can adapt to the demands of expert industrial needs. MasterLock’s Lockout Tagout kit also features color-coded locks for easier and more coordinated visual identification.
Customizable options further set MasterLock apart by allowing professionals to choose from various shackle heights, materials, and other keyed configurations, including keyed alike, keyed differently, or master key systems. It’s nice to have these adaptable solutions because they apply effective energy control programs by not only meeting regulatory requirements but also integrating seamlessly into the already existing safety protocols within the company.
