Master Lock Company offers the aviation industry’s first Aircraft Safety Lockout Kits. The electrical safety Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) devices are specifically designed for aircraft, to protect maintenance teams from injury due to re-energized power systems while performing maintenance service procedures. The kits are part of the Master Lock Safety Series™ new Aviation Safety Lockout program. Included in the kits are the S2329 Aircraft Circuit Breaker Lockout and the S2029 Aircraft Power Receptacle Lockout, along with S4529 Aircraft Lockout Tags and an assortment of safety lockout padlocks. The kits are expected to be available in August. Kits are available in two sizes, either six or 12 S2329 Aircraft Circuit Breaker Lockouts, a similar amount of safety padlocks and Aircraft Lockout Tags, and one S2029 Aircraft Power Receptacle Lockout device. Users can choose from two thermoplastic padlock models: the steel shackle 410RED or dielectric 406RED with a nonconductive, nonmagnetic, nonsparking shackle. All padlocks are keyed different, complying with the OSHA guidelines stipulating one key per lock per employee to prevent key duplication and exposing workers to safety risks.
