What is a Group Lockout Box? How Does It Work?

A Group Lockout Box is a multi-lock safety device that allows multiple users to secure their individual padlocks (or keys) on a single container. The box can only be opened when all locks are removed (or all keys are retrieved), ensuring collective control. It’s commonly used for:

LOTO (Lockout/Tagout): Team-based energy isolation during equipment maintenance.

Shared Access: Controlled release of tools, documents, or hazardous systems.

Each team member attaches their personal padlock to the box.

The box cannot be opened until every lock is removed (or all keys are used).

Ensures all members verify safety before accessing the contents.
