The Master Lock Company Debuts Group Lock Box With Wall Mounting Bracket At ASSE Safety 2018

MILWAUKEE, June 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Year after year, citations of businesses with workers who experienced accidents due to the lack of effective lockout/tagout (LOTO) programs rank among OSHA's top ten most-cited violations. Lockout/tagout – the control of hazardous energy during equipment maintenance – can protect the millions of workers who maintain and operate machinery from serious and life-threating injuries. At ASSE Safety 2018, The Master Lock Company is exhibiting end-to-end safety solutions as part of its ongoing commitment to empower organizations to create safer work environments and comply with OSHA.

The safety experts at The Master Lock Company understand lockout-related injuries are preventable and have been at the front line of bringing to market research-driven, innovative safety products and services grounded in pioneering thought-leadership to keep workers safe. Recently, Todd Grover, The Master Lock Company's Global Senior Manager of Applied Safety Solutions, served as a committee member of ANSI Z10 Safety Management Standard and the newly released ISO 45001 Global Safety and Health Standard, which provide the framework for organizations to develop and integrate safety programs into existing business management systems.

"Safety experts believe 30 percent of companies have no lockout strategy in place, despite LOTO violations ranking in OHSA's top five most frequently cited standards since 2014," said Grover. "Many organizations view safety compliance as a cost center that works against profitability but that's an incorrect belief."

Grover will present how safety leaders can make the business case for safety management systems, drive efficiency and productivity at the ASSE Safety 2018 breakout session "How Safety Management Systems can be Integrated into Profit Driven Workplaces" on June 4 from 1-2 p.m.

At the show, The Master Lock Company is featuring new and recently introduced safety solutions, including:

• New Group Lock Box with Wall Mounting Bracket – With design features driven by feedback from safety leaders and supervisors, the new lock box fulfills unmet group lockout needs through its wall mounting bracket and locking mechanism, which provide facilities with greater control over the movement and placement of the lock boxes. The Group Lock Box with Wall Mounting Bracket is constructed with 430-grade stainless steel with heavy-duty powder coating to withstand tough industrial environments and resist corrosion. Available September 2018.
• Permit Control Station – The Master Lock Permit Control Station is a one-stop group lockout station that improves the effectiveness and efficiency of group lockout. Combining a Permit Display case with a Wall Mount Group Lock Box, the Permit Control Station provides a single location to display and protect essential paperwork and padlocks for group lockout. Available now as the complete Permit Control Station or separate Permit Display Case and Wall Mount Group Lock Box.
• Retractable Cable Lockout Devices – The highly versatile Master Lock Retractable Cable Lockout Devices allow employees to address challenging lockout situations, including gate valve and electrical applications.
