Safer machine interventions 

Lockout/Tagout prevents workplace accidents by temporarily but completely isolating machinery from its energy sources. When implemented well, it stops machine movement and energisation while interventions are ongoing.

Brady Corporation is one of the largest suppliers of Lockout/Tagout solutions. “We work with both large and nimble companies to advance ‘go for zero’ ambitions and compliance in workplace safety anywhere in the world,” explains Christophe Nelissen, Brady Corporation’s regional manager of Middle East and Southern Africa.

“We offer our global experience to our customers by harnessing all worldwide best practices and custom solutions in our Lockout/Tagout offer to help prevent any maintenance accident caused by machine energy or moving machine parts,” he continues.

Energy isolation points may include fuses, buttons, valves, wheels, levers, and other systems. These systems control the flow of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, gravitational, and stored energy, as well as liquids and gaseous chemicals, hot surfaces, and substances. All of these systems can be turned off, and access can be locked, while maintenance is ongoing.

Wherever you want to take your Lockout/Tagout programme, Brady can guide and support you. “Our complete Lockout/Tagout solution includes innovative padlocks with elaborate key planning, dedicated lockout devices, practical software, and great services. These include energy control point identification and best-in-class procedure writing,” Nelissen adds.

So, where do you want to take your lockout programme? “Make your choice and let us guide you,” Nelissen enthuses.
