Plug Lockout Device - 110 to 125V - Medium

The TRADESAFE Medium Plug Lockout Device is specifically designed for 110V to 125V power cords. It can accommodate plugs with a maximum diameter of 2-1/8" and cords up to 11/16" in diameter. This makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, including welding machines, air compressors, HVAC systems, and various other equipment. The device's versatility allows it to secure most 110V to 125V plugs in different shapes and sizes, providing a comprehensive solution for electrical safety in various work environments.

This plug lockout device is designed with two cord holes, allowing it to secure up to two plugs simultaneously. This feature enhances its versatility and efficiency, especially in scenarios where multiple pieces of equipment need to be locked out in close proximity. The ability to lock out two plugs with a single device can streamline the lockout/tagout process and potentially reduce the number of lockout devices needed in a facility.

The TRADESAFE plug 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 color and design, substantial construction to prevent accidental removal, identifiability, and exclusive use for safety purposes. Its bright red color, integrated danger warning label, and robust construction all contribute to its compliance with OSHA standards, helping employers maintain a safe work environment and avoid potential regulatory issues.

The lockout device is crafted from high-impact resistant polypropylene. This material choice is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, polypropylene provides exceptional durability and impact resistance, ensuring the device remains effective even in challenging industrial environments where it might be exposed to rough handling or accidental impacts. Secondly, polypropylene is non-conductive, which is essential for electrical safety. This property eliminates the risk of the lockout device itself becoming an electrical hazard. Lastly, polypropylene's resistance to various chemicals and environmental factors ensures the device maintains its integrity and functionality over time, even in harsh industrial conditions.

This plug lockout device is designed with two lockout holes that can accommodate padlocks with a shackle diameter of up to 11/32". This allows for the use of up to two LOTO (Lock Out/Tag Out) locks simultaneously, enhancing the security of the lockout process. The use of multiple locks is particularly useful in situations where more than one worker or department needs to secure the equipment, ensuring that the plug cannot be accessed until all involved parties have completed their work and removed their locks. It's important to note that while the device is designed to accept locks, the actual padlocks are not included and need to be purchased separately.

While the TRADESAFE Medium Plug Lockout Device is primarily designed for electrical plug lockout, some users have found creative ways to adapt it for other applications. For example, one review mentions using it to lock out a ball valve on a generator gas-feed outlet. However, it's important to note that any modifications or non-standard uses of the device should be carefully evaluated to ensure they don't compromise safety or violate any applicable regulations. The device's primary purpose remains the lockout of electrical plugs, and it's designed and tested for this specific application.
