Lockout hasps are vital components of lockout/tagout (LOTO) systems that are essential for ensuring worker safety during the maintenance and servicing of machinery and equipment. They are designed to prevent the accidental or unauthorized operation of equipment by securing it with multiple locks when it is being worked on. This Lockout Hasps installation guide will provide step-by-step instructions on how to properly use and install lockout hasps to maintain a safe working environment.

Understanding Lockout Hasps Lockout hasps are devices that provide a secure mechanism for locking equipment or machinery in an “off” position, preventing accidental startups while maintenance or repair work is being conducted. They are typically used in conjunction with other lockout/tagout devices and are often installed on equipment that is equipped with multiple energy sources or complex control systems. By allowing multiple personnel to place their own locks on the device, lockout hasps ensure that everyone involved in the repair or maintenance process has control over the release of the lock.
