In today's industrial landscape, safety is paramount. One crucial tool that plays a significant role in ensuring workplace safety is the cable lockout system.

These devices are essential for isolating energy sources during maintenance and repair work, preventing accidental equipment startups and potential injuries.

Industrial safety benefits of cable lockouts

Enhanced safety measures

Cable lockouts provide a high level of security in industrial settings. Made from durable materials like non-conductive nylon or steel, these devices are resistant to tampering and cutting attempts. The unique key or combination mechanism ensures that only authorised personnel can remove the lockout, further enhancing safety protocols.

Visual identification and communication

One of the standout features of cable lockouts is their bright, vivid colours. Our lockouts are available in six UV-resistant hues, making them easily identifiable even in challenging environments. This visual cue serves as a clear warning to workers, indicating that equipment is undergoing maintenance and should not be operated.

Cost-effective and eco-friendly solution

The Gardus® reusable cable lockout system offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to industrial safety:

• Reusability: Made from tough offshore materials, these lockouts can be used multiple times, reducing waste and replacement costs.
• Durability: The UV-fade protection ensures that the colours remain vibrant even with prolonged exposure to sunlight, extending the lifespan of the lockouts.
• Competitive Pricing: Efficient bulk manufacturing allows for competitive pricing, making these lockouts an economical choice for industries of all sizes.

User-friendly design

The Gardus® cable lockouts are designed with user convenience in mind:

• Improved Grip: The ribbed edge provides maximum grip, even when wearing gloves, making it easier for workers to apply and remove the lockouts.
• Compact Locking Tool: A new compact locking tool ensures correct tightening, simplifying the lockout process and enhancing overall safety

Compliance and versatility

Cable lockouts help organisations comply with safety regulations, such as OSHA guidelines, by providing an effective method for isolating energy sources.

Their versatility allows them to secure various equipment types, reducing the need for multiple lockout devices and simplifying inventory management.

Best practices for implementation

To maximise the effectiveness of cable lockouts, consider the following best practices:

1. Training: Ensure all employees are properly trained on the use of cable lockouts and LOTO procedures.
2. Customisation: Choose cable lockouts that are appropriate for your specific equipment and environment.
3. Regular Inspections: Conduct periodic checks of cable lockouts to ensure they remain in good condition and function properly.
4. Clear Labelling: Use high-visibility tags in conjunction with cable lockouts to clearly communicate equipment status and responsible personnel
