In industrial settings, ensuring the safety of workers during maintenance and repair activities is a top priority. One crucial piece of safety equipment that plays a key role in this is the Industrial Lockout Hasps. These devices are designed to isolate hazardous energy sources, such as electricity, steam, and compressed air, during repair or maintenance operations. By preventing accidental equipment activation or energy release, lockout hasps help minimize the risk of workplace injuries, ensuring both workers’ and equipment safety.
What is an Industrial Lockout Hasp? An Industrial Lockout Hasp is a mechanical safety device that forms an integral part of a Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) system. This system is designed to control hazardous energy during maintenance activities by physically locking the energy source in an “off” or “isolated” state. A lockout hasp is typically used when more than one worker is involved in the maintenance of a piece of equipment. It allows multiple workers to lock their individual locks on a single energy isolation point, ensuring that no one can inadvertently re-energize the equipment while others are working on it.
