BMG supplies and supports the complete range of Master Lock safety and security solutions. These lockout and tagout products and padlocks and signage materials, have been designed to prevent accidents that could occur during servicing and repairing of equipment.
“It is critical for employers to do everything possible to protect employees and prevent accidents caused by negligence during maintenance and repairs of equipment and machinery,” says Ryan Bassett, senior product manager, BMG’s fasteners, tools and equipment. “A plant which has implemented carefully planned, correct lockout and tagout procedures, minimises the risk of injury or accidents caused by inadvertent starting of machines or equipment while being serviced or maintained.
“The correct safety system ensures there is a reliable key control procedure in place that restricts access to only those workers who need to be in a designated area. In safe environments, productivity is optimised, as there is no downtime resulting from unnecessary accidents or injury.”
Master Lock lockout and tagout devices have been designed for a simple, yet effective method of lockout to prevent a worker from unintentionally energising equipment whilst maintenance is in progress. Access to equipment is restricted until everyone involved in a repair or maintenance project has removed their lockout and tagout padlock and accessories from the device.
The Master Lock range encompasses safety padlocks and relevant accessories to suit all types of situations requiring lockout and tagout. Products include electrical lockout devices for circuit breakers, plugs and switches; devices for ball, gate and butterfly valves; pneumatic lockout devices and lockout cables, lock boxes and lockout stations.
Safety padlocks include laminated steel, powder coated and anodised aluminium, as well as Zenex thermoplastic padlocks. The Zenex range of robust and non-sparking padlocks is available with different shackle lengths and diameters, manufactured from hardened steel, 316 stainless steel and nylon. Numerous colour and engraving variations are possible for easy identification of personnel, departments and maintenance teams.
Zenex padlocks are available as key retaining in keyed-different, keyed-alike or mater-keyed suites appropriate for individual applications. For enhanced safety and security, these padlock key references can be tailored and registered to a company to ensure there is no key duplication.
A comprehensive range of standard lockout tags, labels and signs is also available and customer manufactured orders can also be accommodated to suit individual requirements. Signage equipment is heat and chemical resistant to withstand all circumstances.
Master Lock integrated safety solutions are manufactured according to stringent international and local quality and safety specifications. Many of these products are certified by Expolabs for safe use in dangerous and hazardous environments.
