Bloqueo de botón

6 productos

Los botones pulsadores operan muchos tipos de máquinas y equipos en diferentes instalaciones. A menudo, la simple pulsación de un botón puede energizar una máquina y posiblemente poner en peligro a los empleados que realizan el servicio o el mantenimiento en esa máquina o cerca de ella. Estos incidentes, sin embargo, se pueden evitar instalando un dispositivo de bloqueo, como un botón de bloqueo.

Estos dispositivos de bloqueo actúan como cubiertas de seguridad que se pueden instalar de forma permanente y no es necesario volver a aplicarlas cada vez que se requiere LOTO. Sus tapas se pueden dejar desbloqueadas y abiertas para que el personal pueda acceder fácilmente al interruptor cuando las máquinas están operativas. Pero, cuando las máquinas deben bloquearse, las tapas se pueden bajar y asegurar con candados LOTO.

TRADESAFE ofrece una selección de bloqueo con botón pulsador y bloqueo con botón de parada de emergencia, todos fabricados con materiales de primera calidad para cumplir con los estándares de bloqueo y etiquetado de OSHA y las demandas de un entorno industrial.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is a push button lockout used for?

A push button lockout is used to physically block access to control buttons such as emergency stops, start-stop switches, and panel controls during maintenance or servicing. Covering the button prevents accidental or unauthorized activation of equipment. These devices are commonly used as part of lockout/tagout procedures to help control hazardous energy and improve workplace safety.

How does a push button lockout device work?

A push button lockout device works by enclosing or covering the control button with a durable barrier that can be secured using a lock. Once installed, the button cannot be pressed or accessed until the lockout device is removed or opened. This ensures that machinery cannot be started through the control interface while maintenance or servicing is in progress.

What is a push button lockout cover?

A push button lockout cover is a protective enclosure designed to fit over control buttons or switches, preventing physical access during lockout/tagout procedures. These covers are typically made from transparent, impact-resistant materials so users can see the button underneath while keeping it secured. They are available in different sizes and shapes to match various industrial control configurations.

When should an emergency stop push button lockout be used?

An emergency stop push button lockout should be used during maintenance, repair, or servicing when there is a risk that the equipment could be activated through the emergency stop or control interface. It is especially important in high-risk environments where accidental contact with exposed buttons could lead to unexpected machine startup or hazardous conditions.

Are push button lockout devices required for OSHA compliance?

OSHA does not mandate specific devices but requires employers to control hazardous energy under 29 CFR 1910.147. Push button lockout devices are commonly used to support compliance by helping prevent accidental equipment activation at the control point. They should be implemented as part of a comprehensive lockout/tagout program that includes proper procedures, training, and verification practices.
