Summary
Lockout tagout devices serve as physical barriers and visual signals for people operating or servicing a certain piece of machinery or equipment.
Lockout devices are designed to keep workers safe while in the workplace. They are used to prevent accidents or injury. Engineers and electricians must be safe in the knowledge that all equipment is safely isolated and locked off before carrying out any essential maintenance or repair work.
Uses and Applications:
* Manually-operated electrical circuit breakers
* Line valves
* Switches
* Blocks
* Other devices used to isolate/block energy flow
Despite many uses, one important thing to note about the application of LOTO devices is that the locking mechanism must be placed on the supply cord with an accompanying tag that indicates the energy source as well as the person operating the said equipment at any given time.
What are the four main types of Valve Lockouts?
Valve lockout devices supply compressed gases, liquids, steam and more in a facility. A valve lockout device will conceal or physically prevent the valve's operation. The four main types are gate valves, ball valves, plug valves and butterfly valves.
Workers may be exposed to leaks of various dangerous chemicals. As such, valve lockouts come in handy since they ensure that the machinery being operated truly stays turned off during maintenance. Valve lockouts are sturdy lockout devices that can be attached to the valve and secured with hasps or locks.
There are different types of valve lockout devices for different valves. These include pressurized gas, wedge-style, seal tight ball, rotating gate, and adjustable ball valve lockouts.
