Lockout Boards

🗂️ Overview of Lockout Boards

- 🧩 Lockout Boards are centralized mounting panels designed to organize padlocks, hasps, tags, and circuit breaker lockouts in one visible and intuitive layout.
- 🛡️ Available in both portable and wall-mounted formats, these boards keep essential LOTO items readily accessible, improving efficiency and safety during lockout procedures.

✅ Why Use a Lockout Board?

- Ensures quick access to lockout devices precisely where work is conducted, reducing downtime and boosting compliance.
- Enhances team coordination by clearly displaying which equipment is locked out and by whom.
- Reinforces OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 compliance through structured energy isolation control and documentation integrity.

📦 Common Board Configurations

- Lightweight aluminum or steel panels featuring pre-drilled slots and mounting points for 12, 24, or 36+ padlocks.
- Color-coded sections to separate electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and tag zones, simplifying visual inspections.
- Includes integrated labels or tag holders to record lockout personnel and times directly on the board surface.

🖐️ Typical Applications

- Ideal for maintenance crews working on multi-energy sources (like electrical panels, gas lines, hydraulic machinery).
- Used in tool rooms, electrical control rooms, or mobile maintenance carts for on-site operations.
- Offers flexibility—mount permanently near machinery or use portable boards for mobile tasks.

📌 Summary

- Lockout Boards streamline LOTO operations by organizing and displaying all lockout hardware in one place.
- Customizable by size, material, and lock capacity to match your workplace’s specific energy control needs.
- Durable construction suited for industrial settings, with clear labeling for accountability and audit readiness.
