MILWAUKEE, June 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Year after year, citations of businesses with workers who experienced accidents due to the lack of effective lockout/tagout (LOTO) programs rank among OSHA's top ten most-cited violations. Lockout/tagout – the control of hazardous energy during equipment maintenance – can protect the millions of workers who maintain and operate machinery from serious and life-threating injuries. At ASSE Safety 2018, The Master Lock Company is exhibiting end-to-end safety solutions as part of its ongoing commitment to empower organizations to create safer work environments and comply with OSHA.
The safety experts at The Master Lock Company understand lockout-related injuries are preventable and have been at the front line of bringing to market research-driven, innovative safety products and services grounded in pioneering thought-leadership to keep workers safe. Recently, Todd Grover, The Master Lock Company's Global Senior Manager of Applied Safety Solutions, served as a committee member of ANSI Z10 Safety Management Standard and the newly released ISO 45001 Global Safety and Health Standard, which provide the framework for organizations to develop and integrate safety programs into existing business management systems.
"Safety experts believe 30 percent of companies have no lockout strategy in place, despite LOTO violations ranking in OHSA's top five most frequently cited standards since 2014," said Grover. "Many organizations view safety compliance as a cost center that works against profitability but that's an incorrect belief."
Grover will present how safety leaders can make the business case for safety management systems, drive efficiency and productivity at the ASSE Safety 2018 breakout session "How Safety Management Systems can be Integrated into Profit Driven Workplaces" on June 4 from 1-2 p.m.
At the show, The Master Lock Company is featuring new and recently introduced safety solutions, including:
"For nearly 30 years, we've helped organizations of all sizes gain OSHA compliance, and more importantly, prevent workplace accidents," said John Teece, Senior Product Manager. "Through best practice-based consulting services and innovative solutions, such as the Group Lock Box with Wall Mounting Bracket, The Master Lock Company is dedicated to safeguarding workers while guiding companies to boost productivity and their overall bottom lines."
The Master Lock Company will offer hands-on demonstrations of the new Group Lock Box with Wall Mounting Bracket and discuss its Professional Lockout Services at ASSE booth #1438 from June 3-6 in San Antonio, Texas.
