Components and Contents

The BRADY Portable Lockout Padlock Station (Model 153677) includes the following items:

• 12 x Nylon Safety Lockout Padlocks: These padlocks are keyed different (KD12), meaning each padlock has a unique key, preventing accidental unlocking by another key within the set. They are red in color and designed for safety lockout applications.
• 2 x 1-inch Lockout Hasps (133161): These hasps allow multiple workers to apply their individual padlocks to a single energy isolation point, ensuring that the equipment cannot be re-energized until all workers have removed their locks.
• 1 x Lock Carrier (148866): This portable carrier is designed to hold and organize the padlocks, hasps, and tags. It features 13 holes for storage and can be easily carried or mounted.

Setup

The BRADY Portable Lockout Padlock Station is designed for immediate use with minimal setup. The primary setup involves organizing the lockout devices within the carrier and determining its placement or carrying method.

Carrier Organization:

1. Padlock Placement: Insert the shackle of each nylon safety padlock into the designated holes around the perimeter of the lock carrier. The carrier can hold up to 12 padlocks.
2. Hasp Attachment: The lockout hasps can be attached to the carabiners on the carrier or stored in one of the available holes.
3. Ewlenin u Tag Ħażna: The carrier includes a key holder and space for lockout tags. Ensure keys are stored securely with their corresponding padlocks or in a designated key management system.

Għażliet ta' Skjerament:

• Użu portabbli: The carrier's design allows for easy handheld transport, providing ultimate grab-and-go convenience for taking padlocks and devices directly to the lockout point.
• Immuntar tal-ħajt: The offset design of the carrier permits flush wall mounting. Use appropriate fasteners (not included) to secure the carrier to a wall or machine for a fixed lockout station.
• Twaħħil tal-Klip taċ-ċinturin: The carrier can also be hung on a belt clip for easy access during mobile operations.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Proper operation of the lockout padlock station is crucial for effective energy control and compliance with safety regulations. Always follow your facility's specific lockout/tagbarra proċeduri.

General Lockout/Tagout Procedure (LOTO):

1. Preparazzjoni: Identify the energy source(s) to be controlled. Notify all affected employees.
2. Tfigħ: Turn off the equipment or machinery following established shutdown procedures.
3. Iżolament: Isolate the equipment from its energy source(s) (e.g., close valves, open circuit breakers).
4. Lockout/Tagout Application:
   • Attach a lockout padlock from the station to the energy isolating device. Ensure the padlock is securely fastened.
   • If multiple workers are involved, use a lockout hasp. Attach the hasp to the energy isolating device, then each worker applies their individual padlock to the hasp.
   • Attach a lockout tag to the padlock or hasp, providing information such as the reason for lockout, date, and authorized person's name.
5. Stored Energy Check: Verify that all stored or residual energy (e.g., capacitors, springs, hydraulic pressure) has been dissipated or restrained.
6. Verifika: Attempt to operate the equipment to ensure it cannot be re-energized. Return controls to the "off" position after verification.

Using the Keyed Different Padlocks:

Each of the 12 nylon safety padlocks in this set is "keyed different." This means that the key for one padlock will not open any of the other padlocks in the set. This feature enhances security by ensuring that only the authorized person with the specific key can remove their padlock, preventing unauthorized removal and ensuring individual accountability in a lockout procedure.

Always ensure that each authorized employee has control of their unique key for the padlock they apply.

Manutenzjoni

Regular maintenance of your BRADY Portable Lockout Padlock Station components will ensure their longevity and continued effectiveness in safety applications.

Tindif:

• Padlocks and Carrier: Wipe down nylon padlocks and the carrier with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or labels.
• Hasps: Clean metal hasps with a damp cloth. If lubrication is needed for the hinge mechanism, use a light, non-conductive lubricant sparingly.

Spezzjoni:

• Periodically inspect all components for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
• Check padlock shackles for bending or damage. Ensure keys turn smoothly in the lock cylinders.
• Verify that hasps open and close freely and that their locking points are intact.
• Inspect the carrier for cracks or damage that could compromise its ability to hold devices securely.

Ħażna:

Store the lockout station and its components in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use. Proper storage helps prevent degradation of materials and ensures the equipment is ready for immediate deployment.

Issolvi l-problemi

This section addresses common concerns and provides guidance for maintaining the functionality of your lockout station.

Padlock Key Sticking or Not Turning:

• Kawża: Dirt or debris in the lock cylinder, minor corrosion, or a bent key.
• Soluzzjoni:
  • Attempt to clean the key and the lock cylinder with a small amount of compressed air.
  • Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for locks. Avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt.
  • If the key is bent, do not force it. Use a spare key if available. A damaged key can break inside the lock.
  • If the issue persists, the padlock may need to be replaced.

Hasp Difficult to Open/Close:

• Kawża: Dirt, minor corrosion, or slight deformation.
• Soluzzjoni:
  • Clean the hinge and pivot points of the hasp.
  • Apply a light, non-conductive lubricant to the moving parts.
  • If the hasp is bent or significantly damaged, it should be replaced immediately to ensure proper safety function.

Carrier Damage:

• Kawża: Impact, excessive weight, or material fatigue.
• Soluzzjoni: If the carrier shows significant cracks, breaks, or deformation that compromises its ability to securely hold lockout devices, it should be replaced to prevent accidental drops or loss of equipment.
