RS Components (RS), a global distributor for engineers, recently announced that it is extending its portfolio of high-quality RS-branded safety products with a range of lockouts, lockout kits and lockout stations for a variety of site safety management applications.
Lockout tag-out (LOTO) is a range of procedures that can safeguard employees from dangers during servicing or maintenance activities. Lockout devices hold energy-isolation devices in a safe or off position. The RS-branded LOTO products include an extensive range of equipment suitable for isolating electrical equipment, including lockouts to close-off electrical panels, circuit breakers, switches, and other devices targeting ball and gate valves for hydraulic application.
The Lockout Starter Kit contains a variety of lockouts suitable either for valves or for electrical equipment. The Valve Lockout Kit comes with everything needed to lockout gate, ball, butterfly types and many other valves; and the Electrician Lockout Kit is ideal for larger scale contractors requiring a more varied range of lockout solutions. Significantly, the Electrical Panel Lockout products in this new launch can be cut from any side/direction to suit the installation on different panels with varied wiring/attachments to the switches/conduits. Also included in the range is a selection of Padlock Lockout Stations that provide up to 48 padlocks to help keep important safety devices organised and under lock.
