Product Details
The lock-out guard is designed to enhance employee safety by preventing the use of unsafe and malfunctioning forklifts, machinery, and equipment until repairs are completed. This kit includes a lock-out box, (4) lock-out tags, (4) tie straps, and a keyed lock, making it a comprehensive solution for lock-out/tag-out procedures. It is suitable for locking out forklift battery connectors, propane cylinders, water outlets, and gas valves. Compliance with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.333 is ensured, as it mandates that employers protect employees from hazardous electrical energy sources during service and maintenance. Furthermore, the Canadian Center for Occupational Health & Safety emphasizes that lock-out procedures are vital for preventing equipment and processes from causing harm to workers. The dimensions and specific attributes of the kit ensure its effectiveness in maintaining a safe working environment, thereby minimizing the potential for serious injuries to those responsible for maintaining, repairing, cleaning, and replacing parts on machinery.
