Locks dangerous machinery
March 1st 2009 New from Fortress Interlocks is the
Lockout Scissor Hasp for use in
locking off dangerous machinery in
the workplace.
Employees who use the lockouttagout
safety procedure can lock
multiple padlocks on to the scissor
hasp to secure dangerous
machinery, preventing anyone
powering up the machine while
personnel are
inside. The 316
stainless steel
scissor hasp accepts
up to 3 padlocks
from 3-8mm and can
also be daisy-chained
with extra hasps should
more personnel require
entry.
The scissor hasp is said to be
particularly useful when there is a
variable number of people requiring
access to the safety zone or where
equipment has to be locked off
unexpectedly or for long periods of
time. The machine can only be
restarted when all employees are
safely out of the hazardous area and
have unlocked and removed their
padlocks from the hasp. More articles from Fortress Interlocks Ltd: |
