The TRADESAFE Push Button Lockout - Box Type - Large is designed to work with a variety of buttons and switches commonly found in industrial settings. This includes emergency stop buttons, controller buttons, wall switches, and spiral release switches. The device's large size, with inner dimensions of 3-5/8" x 3-5/8" x 2-1/4", makes it particularly suitable for covering larger buttons or even multiple smaller buttons on control panels. Its versatile design ensures it can be used in a wide range of applications where push button safety is crucial, from manufacturing plants to power stations and beyond.

The TRADESAFE push button lockout device has been developed and tested to comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 standards. This standard relates to the control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout). The device meets OSHA's specific requirements for lockout devices, including durability to withstand industrial environments, standardization in design, substantial construction to prevent accidental removal, identifiability, and exclusive use for safety purposes. Its robust construction from polycarbonate and ABS plastic ensures it can withstand the harsh conditions often found in industrial settings, meeting the durability requirement. The standardized design and ability to accommodate locks make it easily identifiable and substantial. By using this device, employers can ensure they're taking a significant step towards OSHA compliance in their push button safety procedures.

The lockout device is crafted with a transparent polycarbonate body and a sturdy ABS plastic base. This combination of materials is crucial for several reasons. The polycarbonate body provides exceptional durability and impact resistance, ensuring the device remains effective even in challenging industrial environments where it might be exposed to impacts or rough handling. Its transparency allows for clear visibility of the button status, which is essential for safety checks and operational awareness. The ABS plastic base adds further stability and durability to the device, ensuring it remains firmly in place once installed. Both materials are known for their resistance to wear and tear, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, making this lockout device suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Installation of this device is designed to be straightforward and secure. The device comes with double-faced adhesive tape for a firm and lasting installation. To install, follow these steps:<br><br>
Clean the surface around the push button or switch thoroughly.<br>
Ensure the area where you'll place the device is dry and free from dust or oil.<br>
Remove the backing from the adhesive tape on the base of the lockout device.<br>
Carefully position the device over the push button or switch, ensuring it's centered within the 2-7/8" x 2-7/8" mounting hole.<br>Press firmly to adhere the device to the surface.<br>
The box-type design ensures that once installed, it provides comprehensive coverage and protection for the button or switch underneath.

Yes, this push button lockout device is designed with versatility in mind. It features two cord holes that can accommodate cables or wires up to 3/8" in diameter. This feature allows for the device to be used with a variety of equipment setups where cables or wires need to pass through the lockout cover. The cord holes ensure that the device can be securely closed and locked even when cables are connected to the button or switch being protected. This flexibility makes the lockout suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where different types of cabling might be involved.

Once properly installed, this lockout device physically prevents anyone from accessing or pressing the button or switch it covers. The box-type design completely encloses the protected area, making it impossible to reach the button without first removing the lockout. The device features holes that can accommodate up to two padlocks with 5/16" shackle diameters. When these locks are in place, the cover cannot be opened, ensuring that only authorized personnel with the correct keys can access the protected button or switch. This physical barrier, combined with the ability to apply multiple personal locks, provides both a practical and visual deterrent to unauthorized use. The transparency of the cover allows for visual confirmation of the button's status without compromising security.
