Group lockout Group lockout clearly defined

Group lockout devices shows at a glance which colleague is involved in the maintenance work, on which machine and in which area he or she is currently working.

Master key systems allow you to organise your group locking securely and clearly.

The principle of group lockout processes is to separate conventional personal identification locks (PIS) from the additional machine identification locks (MIS). The PIS are for every single employee and show which person is undertaking maintenance or repair work when hung up. The MIS are used to prevent reactivation of the energy supplies to the machines and installations.

Isolator switch locks Secured together

If several people need to secure themselves at the same time, a multipoint locking makes sense.

SAFETY REDBOX™ How it works

Thanks to the SAFETY REDBOX, during a group lockout each of the employees involved can lock the keys of the machine locks with their personal lock.

This offers the advantage that they can see at a glance which employee is still working on the system.

The keys for unlocking the machine thus remain safely stowed away until the last employee removes his or her personal lock.

How do master key systems work?

A master key system is useful when a master key is desired that can open all locks in use, e.g. for performing a secure emergency opening.
