Safety Lockout Padlocks

- Plastic: Non-conductive and spark-resistant. Ideal for electrical or flammable environments.
- Aluminium: Lightweight, colour-coded, and heat-resistant from -50°C to +170°C.
- Steel & Brass: Heavy-duty and suitable for industrial safety systems. Many can be colour-coded and master keyed.

Each material type provides specific benefits depending on the environment and hazard type.

A compliant lockout/tagout padlock should:
- Retain its key when open (key-retaining mechanism)
- Include insulated shackles or plastic covers
- Offer multiple key differs to prevent overlap
- Support engraving or tagging for identification

These features reduce the risk of accidental reactivation and improve worker safety.

Safety padlocks can be supplied with pre-printed labels, custom tags, or laser engraving for permanent identification. Laser engraving is preferred for large or long-term lockout systems, as it cannot be removed or altered. We maintain key and engraving records for all major contracts.
