ABUS UK Launches NEW
Industrial Safety Range
»»Since 1924 ABUS has been
synonymous for security. Now ABUS
encompasses the good feeling of security
in the workplace with its new Industrial
Safety Range with products that fall
under the Lockout/Tagout category
(LOTO). “Lockout” is the physical action
of locking off switches or valves to
industrial machinery. “Tagout” refers to
the marking of important lockout points
with information or warning signs. A
proper lockout procedure always requires
a Tagout.
The new Range offers LOTO products for
all industrial machinery switches, outlets,
gate valves, ball valves, compressed air
connections, circuit breakers etc. ABUS
offers a range of Lockout safety padlocks
(also available in various colours, with
spaces for inscription,
or engraving) and hasps ensure the
devices can be safely locked off.
Maintenance or service work on
industrial machinery is usually an
organisational effort involving different
groups of workers so can be a costly
downtime process. With the ABUS Safety
Redbox™ only the foreman has to lock
out all the access points and then put the
different keys in to the box. Individual
‘gatekeepers’ then lock the Safety
Redbox™ with their personalised padlock,
with all their keys safely stored during
maintenance.
