Trapped Key Interlocks - Maximising Safety
In Manufacturing
In any manufacturing company, above all else, a safe working environment for all employees must be a top priority. To achieve this, you're going to need a reliable and effective solution for controlling access to your hazardous areas and machinery. And that's where Trapped Key Interlocks come in!
What Are Trapped Key Interlocks?
Trapped Key Interlocks are a highly effective method of controlling access to hazardous areas, machinery, and processes. But how do they work? Well, it's pretty simple! They work by trapping a key in a lock (as you might guess from the name), which disables your machinery / process while guard doors are open, so operatives can safely work within the dangerous area.
Basically, they're there to ensure that machinery cannot be accidentally restarted, while your employee may still be working around the machines, until all guard doors are closed and greatly reduce the risk of workplace accidents.
