About LockoutStation.co.uk

Hello and welcome to LockoutStation.co.uk. As part of the Lockout Tagout Safety Ltd group, we stem from a local family business established in 1883. Our proximity to local heavy industry e.g. Heavy Engineering, oil and gas both offshore and onshore has helped us to form a niche service which provides modern solutions for modern problems. These solutions include Lockout Stations which are used as part of a Lockout Tagout procedure. The Procedure is designed to keep workers safe whilst performing vital and routine maintenance, as well as other tasks. Lockout Stations are tools supporting those solutions.

What is Lockout Tagout?

Industrial workers are greatly exposed to electrical and mechanical hazards while servicing equipment and machinery. Statistics produced by the HSE show that 180 workers were killed at their place of work, 131,895 other injuries were reported and 246,000 reportable injuries were recorded.

Lockout Tagout aims to greatly reduce the number of deaths and injuries in the workplace. The basic principle is the locking of any equipment that is undergoing maintenance or that otherwise needs to be kept turned off. This is to prevent any unauthorised or unknowing person from restarting the equipment and causing harm to the maintenance personnel.

This website is focused upon Lockout Station. These are useful sets of tools and lockout devices that can provide an individual workers or a team with all the equipment they need to implement Lockout Tagout in their work. We aim not only to provide a comprehensive range of Lockout Station, to provide for every need, but also to inform, advise and educate you and your staff, ensuring that the Lockout equipment is used correctly, and that you are getting the most suitable product for your needs.

Why Use a Lockout Stations?

Lockout Tagout Stations Help manage your safety isolation padlocks and tools when you are isolating different types of energy sources, preventing their operation during maintenance/repair and decommissioning procedures on a machine.

Lockout Tagout Procedure and example with your Lockout Station.

The following example provides the steps that should be included in your Lockout Tagout procedure in order to aid personnel in safe completion of work activity:

Scenario - This isolation example is under isolation certificate. You are to under go the isolation using the to isolate a machine which has a valve that generates a flow of steam which requires a small workgroup to complete the work

• Step 1 - Issue a Isolation Certificate, which determines the task, subsequent workers and the equipment that is to be locked down.
• Step 2 - Notify the affected employees that Lockout is about to occur, including the operator of the equipment.
• Step 3 - Limit the work area, if permissible, by erecting a safety perimeter.
• Step 4 - Prepare for shutdown by reviewing details of the energy source, hazards, and your company’s control procedures.
• Step 5 - Shut down the equipment/machinery using the normal, safety procedure, unsing the safety Isolation padlocks and Lockout equipment sounf on the Lockout Station.
• Step 6 - Isolate all applicable energy sources.
• Step 7 - Apply padlocks to the energy isolating devices. Note in this specific example you are to Isolate the gate valve by using one of the “gate valve lockout devices” and placing it onto the valve and then locking it in place using one of your lockout safety padlocks, ( all items are found on the Lockout Station ).
• Step 7a - Dissipate, then confine and block the residual energy that may be present. With the main energy source isolated, you may think about executing the work (e.g. begin the repair or cleaning). STOP before you do have you considered if there is any residual energy stored in the machine? There could be leftover, super-heated steam inside, resulting in burns for those about to work on the machine. This stored energy e.g. steam MUST be siphoned away (bleeding) prior to any maintenance work. If in doubt always check the operations manual or contact the manufacturer of the equipment for clarification.
• Step 7b - Apply padlocks to the residual energy blocking devices In most cases it’s important to lock these residual / bleed valves OPEN to guarantee no unexpected build up of energy. The exact same principle applies for electrical, chemicals and various other forms of stored or residual energy types.
• Step 8 - Apply tags in order to provide information regarding the lockout of isolation devices & switches. You should also use the lockout tags to communicate to all that a lockout tagout isolation is in place on this machine. It’s important you communicate using tagout to all vulnerable people, including employees and visitors etc about the isolation. Your tagout details would include workers name, start date and completion date of work and also contact details. We do have personal photo tags available too. These tags can be placed through the shackle of the lockout safety padlocks so they are directly connected to the isolated switch.
• Step 9 - Verify the absence of energy by using the most reliable and safest means possible, e.g. start-up test. Always “Test Out” the machine before any work is carried out e.g. after completing the isolations and ensure you return any switches to the off position after testing. Check that all electrical power is dead also.
