In many enterprises, a similar scene often occurs. When the equipment is in the maintenance period and the maintenance personnel are not present, some people who do not know the situation think that the equipment is normal and operate it, resulting in serious equipment damage. Or at this time the maintenance staff was repairing the machine inside, and the result was conceivable that an accident occurred.
Many companies are also trying every means to prevent similar things from happening. For example, placing a protective fence around the maintenance equipment and hanging a warning sign with the words “Dangerous” on it has a certain effect, but it cannot be eliminated. Why can’t it be eliminated? The reason is simple. There are many external forces. For example, someone ignores the protective fence and enters the fence, resulting in tragedy. Or, instead of being artificial, the natural environment may also cause the warning to fail, for example: a strong wind blows and the warning sign is blown away. Many unforeseen circumstances occur, rendering protective measures useless.
s there no other way?
Of course, LOTO safety locks produced by Marst can solve these annoying problems well.
LOTO, Full spell Lockout-Tagout, Chinese translation is “Lock Up Tag”. It refers to a method that meets the OSHA standard to prevent personal injury by isolating and locking certain dangerous energy sources.
The lock in the lock-out tag is not an ordinary civilian lock, but an industrial-specific safety lock. It can lock electrical circuit breakers, buttons, switches, various valves, pipes, equipment operating levers and other parts that cannot be operated. Through scientific key management, single or multiple people can manage the locks, thereby eliminating You know I don’t know that this kind of communication is not smooth, which leads to mishandling accidents.
Single-person maintenance, using a single safety lock to effectively ensure that the equipment cannot be operated by others. After repairing, you can resume use and production by removing the safety lock yourself.
Multi-person maintenance, using multi-hole locks and other safety locks with safety padlocks for management, effectively ensuring that the equipment cannot be operated by others. The repaired person removes his padlock until the last person removes the safety lock, and normal use and production can be resumed.
