Each year, over a million employees get seriously injured or die from work related accidents. Whilst safe protocol can be implemented to prevent such accidents, integrating safety products into this procedure will effectively prevent accidents and protect employees. The ABUS Safety Range offers LOTO products for all industrial machinery switches, outlets, gate valves, ball valves, compressed air connections and circuit breakers. The ABUS Safety Redbox™ is the perfect solution for locking out multiple points such as that required for maintenance and service work on industrial machinery, possibly with multiple members of staff. The Redbox ensures that only the foreman has to lock out all the access points and then put the different keys in to the box. Individual ‘gatekeepers’ then lock the Safety Redbox™ with their personalised padlock, with all their keys safely stored during the maintenance process.
