MILWAUKEE, Sept. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The lack of effective lockout/tagout (LOTO) to properly control hazardous energy is a leading safety concern, ranking among the top five most frequently cited violations by OSHA – putting millions of workers at risk for serious injuries. As part of its ongoing commitment to protecting workers, The Master Lock Company is unveiling the Master Lock® Permit Control Station at the 2017 National Safety Council (NSC) Congress & Expo.
"Many preventable lockout accidents occur when a worker unknowingly triggers machinery startup and subsequently injures a co-worker who is servicing or maintaining the machine," said Matt Dudgeon, Director of Product Marketing. "By storing and displaying all elements of lockout safety in one device, the Permit Control Station makes group lockout more effective, efficient and reduces miscommunication so no one gets hurt."
