In any industrial environment, safety is paramount. One of the most critical components of ensuring safety, especially during maintenance or repair work, is preventing accidental startup of equipment. This is where Safety Lockout Kits play a vital role. These kits are designed to help isolate the energy sources of machines, ensuring that equipment remains safely de-energized during maintenance or repairs, protecting workers from accidents that could otherwise result from unexpected machine operation.

What are Safety Lockout Kits? A Safety Lockout Kit is a comprehensive set of tools and devices used to prevent the unexpected release of hazardous energy during the maintenance and servicing of equipment. The term “lockout” refers to the practice of physically locking out energy sources—such as electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic sources—by using locks, tags, and energy-isolation devices. Safety Lockout Kits include a variety of tools, including locks, tags, lockout hasps, and valve lockouts, each of which serves a different purpose depending on the equipment being serviced.
