What Are Group Lock Boxes?
Group lock boxes are safety management systems used in environments requiring access by multiple individuals.
Commonly utilized in industrial and construction settings, they play a crucial role in team safety. The system operates by having all members attach their individual locks and tags to the box when machinery or equipment is taken out of operation for maintenance. This ensures that the equipment cannot be restarted without everyone’s agreement, preventing unauthorized use and enhancing safety during maintenance activities.
As a component of lockout-tagout (LOTO) protocols, group lock boxes are instrumental in maintaining a secure working environment.
