Lockout Tagout (LOTO) padlocks, hasps and tamper-proof tags are fundamental components of safe energy isolation during maintenance, servicing and shutdown activities. Designed for industrial, mining, construction and utilities environments, LOTO padlocks, hasps and tags form the backbone of effective isolation procedures.
Effective lockout padlocks, hasps and tags turn isolation from a procedure into a certainty raising the safety standard every time work begins.
These devices provide a physical and visual barrier that prevents machinery, plant or systems from being energised while work is being carried out - helping protect workers from serious injury caused by unexpected start-up or stored energy release. By ensuring each worker maintains personal control over isolation points and clearly communicates work status, these products help enforce safe systems of work and reduce reliance on assumption or verbal instruction.
Hasps allow multiple workers to apply their own locks to a single isolation point, ensuring energy cannot be restored until all work is complete.
Tamper-proof tags clearly identify isolation status, responsible personnel and work in progress - reducing confusion and error.
Durable, non-conductive and corrosion-resistant materials suit harsh site environments and repeated use.
Safety locks and tags are designed to resist tampering, reinforcing isolation integrity throughout the job.
Proper use of LOTO devices helps demonstrate effective hazard control and compliance with WHS and site isolation requirements.
Padlocks and hasps create a hard barrier that prevents valves, switches or breakers from being operated while work is underway.
Lockout padlocks are used to secure energy-isolating devices such as electrical breakers, valves or switches so they cannot be operated during maintenance.
Hasps allow multiple workers or trades to attach their own padlocks to a single isolation point, ensuring no one can re-energise equipment until everyone is clear.
Lockout tags typically display:
“Do Not Operate” warning
Name of the person who applied the lock
Date and reason for isolation
Tamper-proof tags help ensure this information remains visible for the duration of the task.
Tags alone do not physically prevent re-energisation. Best practice is to use locks and tags together to provide both physical control and visual warning.
Yes. Padlocks and hasps are designed for repeated use, while tags may be single-use or reusable depending on site procedures.
Using proper lockout padlocks, hasps and tags demonstrates proactive control of hazardous energy and supports documented isolation procedures.
