Lockout Tagout Equipment for Compliance

Workplace compliance for lockout tagout procedures is mandatory and covered by legislated work health and safety regulations. The regulations require that operator controls for machinery must be able to be locked into the “off” position to enable safe & effective disconnection of the related power source, prior to undertaking repairs or maintenance.

Lockout tagout devices offered by URSafeRite to help workplaces achieve compliance for plant & machinery maintenance operations include:

Lockout tagout locks
Lockout tagout circuit breakers
Electrical lockout tagout kits
Cable lockout tagout devices
Group lockout tagout boxes

Electrical & Circuit Breaker Lockout Devices

These devices provide a physical barrier that locks in place to prevent the circuit breaker switch from being turned on, to ensure the power supply remains isolated from the related plant or machinery. The use of lockout tagout circuit breakers makes sure that electrical circuits remain de-energised until such time as authorisation is obtained to remove the device.

URSafeRite’s collection includes reliable & durable electrical & circuit breaker lockout devices for compatibility & integration with your workplace lockout tagout safety compliance program.

Group Lockout & Storage Solutions

Group lockout tagout solutions provide convenient protection in work group lockout situations across multiple personnel, and reduce the number of associated locks & keys required for safe & effective lockout tagout of plant & machinery during maintenance and other downtime.

Group lockout tagout boxes utilise one lock for each energy source required to be locked out, and the key is placed inside the group lockout box. Each worker attaches their individual personal lock or tag to the group lockout box, and the box can only be accessed after the individual personal locks are removed. The benefits of this system are enhanced control for access to keys & locks, and improved visibility across multiple energy sources involving multiple workers.

Lockout tagout cabinets and cable lockout tagout devices are also available to provide organised storage of locks & keys, and flexible solutions for multiple isolation points to further enhance workplace safety and compliance.
