Electrical safety is a critical concern in industrial and commercial environments, where equipment and machinery operate under high voltages and complex systems. In this context, IEC 60947-2 certified lockout hasps play a pivotal role in safeguarding workers during maintenance and repair activities. These lockout devices are essential components of an effective lockout/tagout (LOTO) safety program, which aims to prevent accidental equipment startup or hazardous energy release during maintenance procedures.

What are IEC 60947-2 Certified Lockout Hasps? Lockout hasps are safety devices used in conjunction with locks to ensure that machines and equipment remain de-energized during maintenance. A lockout hasp is typically a metal or durable plastic device with multiple locking points that allows several locks to be attached to the same equipment, ensuring that multiple personnel working on the same system can all lock out the equipment independently. IEC 60947-2 is the international standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that deals with low-voltage switchgear and controlgear, including the safety features required for electrical equipment. An IEC 60947-2 certified lockout hasp is a lockout device that meets the rigorous requirements specified in this standard, ensuring it provides reliable safety protection in electrical settings.
