Welcome to Lockout India. In this post which is our first, we will try and evaluate the basics of workplace safety, what we do & how we can help. The aspect of workplace safety we are talking about is the hazards caused by machines. A concept called “Energy Isolation” persists to verify the protocols. So what are the hazards? Who takes care of the procedure? What do we do? All your questions will be answered here. The hazard safety is an issue strictly limited to industries and factories. manufacturer of lockout products

What are the Hazards?

Hazards are provoked by energy. Since, all industrial machines require energy of some type (electrical, hydraulic, kinetic etc.), during service breaks and maintenance works; the machines need to be shut-off completely. However, machines running on power could start without warning (unexpectedly) or release the residual energy. Such instances could and have lead to fatal injuries and death of workers.


Some hazardous injuries are: Body fracture, Electrocution, Burns, Cutting, Crushing, Amputations etc. The fatality of the injury depends on the amount of pressure the machine dictates. This is to be avoided in any circumstance using the safety protocols.

The Safety Protocols

In an Ezine Article, we have given a sight into the Energy Isolation process. The safety procedure is known as LOTO procedure (Lockout- Tag out). OSHA also known as Occupational Safety & Health Administration is a prime organization of the United States Department of Labor whose aim is to ‘ensure a safe & healthy environment for workers enforced by certain standards. OSHA includes some definitions and gives out measures to be implemented during Energy Isolation.

Our Inclusion

Lockout India understands the importance of workplace safety and hence develops a wide range of products to fulfill that aim. All our Lockout Tagout products are CE certified that fit OSHA’s safety standards perfectly. Also, one other thing that has not been mentioned above is Tag out. Tag out means stamping a machine as closed. The “Warning” tag put up involves the person’s name, reason for tag and time. Also, some other types of tags are also included like ‘Danger’ tag, ‘do not start’ tag & ‘closed’ tag.
