Lockout Hasps are essential safety devices used in various industrial and commercial settings to ensure that equipment remains safely isolated from energy sources during maintenance or repair work. These devices prevent accidental equipment start-up, thus safeguarding workers from potential injuries. The proper installation and use of Lockout Hasps are crucial to implementing effective energy control programs, and this guide will provide a comprehensive step-by-step process for installing them.

What is a Lockout Hasp? A Lockout Hasp is a locking mechanism designed to secure an energy-isolating device (like a circuit breaker, valve, or switch) in the “off” position. The Lockout Hasp usually features multiple locking holes, allowing several workers to securely lock out the equipment at the same time, ensuring that no one can inadvertently activate the equipment. It is an integral part of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) programs, which are critical for protecting workers from dangerous machine or equipment movements during maintenance.
