Lockout Devices

Lockout devices are safety tools used to secure equipment during maintenance or repair to prevent accidental operation. They ensure that machinery remains off while workers are working on it, protecting them from potential injuries. These devices typically include lockable hasps, lockout pads, or other mechanisms that hold switches, valves, or power sources in the "off" or "safe" position. Proper use of lockout devices is a key part of workplace safety programs, helping to prevent accidental energization and ensuring a safe working environment for maintenance personnel.
