What Is A Group Lockout Box?
Lockout-Tagout procedure as implemented by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is the best way of securing the workplace and making the workers feel safe and easy. Along with describing the procedure and the necessary LOTO Kit, OSHA’s guidelines highlights the companies which come under their coverage and which don’t. Out of the numerous Lockout Tagout Procedures, one such process is Group Lockout.
Group Lockout-Tagout process is a way of providing the workers a high-level of security. The procedure involves multiple employees working together to perform a service check on a device or machinery which is potentially hazardous and can cause severe damage to the workplace and the employees. The objective is to assign a worker who will overlook the entire process and will be responsible for any mishaps. Also, every worker is required to apply their own Lockout Padlocks to the isolation points on the machine in order to ensure that the device cannot be re-energized until everyone has finished their work and are at safe location.

For diverse workers, Group Lockout Boxes are used with keys to single or multiple equipments. The keys to lockout devices disconnect master keys which are placed in the Group Lockout Box. Every worker is then required to place his or her own personal lock on the box. When the daily tasks are finished, the worker removes his personal lock. Further the person authorized to supervise the procedure has to verify whether all the personal locks are removed or not. Once the person makes sure all the workers have done their job and are out of the danger zone, he or she reactivates the machinery.

Welcome to Lockout India. In this post which is our first, we will try and evaluate the basics of workplace safety, what we do & how we can help. The aspect of workplace safety we are talking about is the hazards caused by machines. A concept called “Energy Isolation” persists to verify the protocols. So what are the hazards? Who takes care of the procedure? What do we do? All your questions will be answered here. The hazard safety is an issue strictly limited to industries and factories. manufacturer of lockout products
What are the Hazards?
Hazards are provoked by energy. Since, all industrial machines require energy of some type (electrical, hydraulic, kinetic etc.), during service breaks and maintenance works; the machines need to be shut-off completely. However, machines running on power could start without warning (unexpectedly) or release the residual energy. Such instances could and have lead to fatal injuries and death of workers.
Some hazardous injuries are: Body fracture, Electrocution, Burns, Cutting, Crushing, Amputations etc. The fatality of the injury depends on the amount of pressure the machine dictates. This is to be avoided in any circumstance using the safety protocols.
The Safety Protocols
In an Ezine Article, we have given a sight into the Energy Isolation process. The safety procedure is known as LOTO procedure (Lockout- Tag out). OSHA also known as Occupational Safety & Health Administration is a prime organization of the United States Department of Labor whose aim is to ‘ensure a safe & healthy environment for workers enforced by certain standards. OSHA includes some definitions and gives out measures to be implemented during Energy Isolation.
Our Inclusion

All our Lockout Tagout products are CE certified that fit OSHA’s safety standards perfectly. Also, one other thing that has not been mentioned above is Tag out. Tag out means stamping a machine as closed. The “Warning” tag put up involves the person’s name, reason for tag and time. Also, some other types of tags are also included like ‘Danger’ tag, ‘do not start’ tag & ‘closed’ tag.
