Master Lock Aluminium Double Ended Lockout Hasp

Lockout by multiple workers at each lockout point. Keeps equipment inoperative while repairs or adjustments are made. Control cannot be turned on until last worker's padlock is removed from hasp. Dual jaw, spark resistant aluminium. Dimensions are 2" x 5-7/8" (50mm x 149mm) with 1" x 1-1/2" (25mm x 38mm) inside jaw diameter, holds up to 8 padlocks   A safety lockout hasp is a critical component in workplace safety systems designed to protect workers from accidental machine start-up or the unexpected release of hazardous energy during maintenance or repair. Its primary purpose is to allow multiple workers to securely lock out a single energy source, ensuring that equipment remains completely isolated until every individual involved has finished their work and removed their personal lock. In a typical lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedure, the hasp is attached to an energy-isolating device—such as a circuit breaker, valve, or switch—after it has been turned off or de-energized. Each worker then attaches their padlock to the hasp. The hasp remains closed and cannot be removed until all locks are taken off, guaranteeing that no one can inadvertently restore power while others are still exposed to hazards. Safety lockout hasps come in various materials, including steel, aluminum, and non-conductive plastic, depending on the application. Non-conductive versions are especially important in electrical environments, preventing shock risks during lockout procedures. Beyond compliance, the hasp serves as a visible symbol of safety culture and teamwork. It reinforces the principle that every worker’s safety matters equally—no one can start the machine until everyone is clear. By preventing premature energization, lockout hasps help reduce workplace injuries, equipment damage, and downtime, while ensuring compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 and other global safety standards. In essence, the safety lockout hasp is a small but indispensable tool in creating a safe, controlled, and compliant work environment.
