LOCKS LOCKWOOD SAFETY PADLOCK RANGE Compromising on safety is not an option! A safety lock out padlock is specifi cally designed to provide a measure of increased safety beyond that offered by a tagging system. Safety lock-out padlocks are used in conjunction with a set of predetermined steps associated with an isolation procedure. The safety lock out padlock that are used in this procedure help provide a physical and visual identifi cation against employees inadvertently releasing stored energy from equipment or plant whilst someone else is working on it. Lockwood has been a trusted name for more than seven decades. Today, Lockwood is the Australian market leader, offering premium products that are functional yet dynamic in design. The 312 Safety Lockout Range have been designed to provide durable and robust solution to the Australian environment with brass bodies and three different size stainless steel shackles. Standard options in this range include 12 different coloured jackets, with laser etching and numerous labelling options, to incorporate employee names, numbers or site locations and as standard have both latching and key retention as padlock functions. Padlocks (215P series) are also offered with solid plastic bodies with non conductive shackles and with the option of brass shackles. Lockwood not only provides these Australian designed and assembled padlocks but provide numerous options when it comes to keying requirements. Lockwood consider keying integrity as the most important component when providing safety lock out solutions to these sites as the Worksafe guidance notes state…“each person working on the plant should have their own lock, key and tag. There should be no duplicate key available for any lock, except a master or duplicate key for use in an emergency that is secured and not readily available.” We guarantee this by our local coding capabilty which is designed into our keying systems which means that every code supplied is recordered against each site location, and by having this keying capability we guarantee, ‘one employee, one key’. Each key that is provided to site with its unique key coding comes as standard with a coloured inserted chip and stamping for easy identifi cation.
