Total Lockout supply Lockout Storage Trolleys to Lucozade

Drinks Manufacturer uses Total Lockout for their LOTO equipment needs

Total Lockout has recently supplied an innovative lockout tagout equipment storage system to the Lucozade Ribena Suntory factory in Coleford Gloucestershire.

Keeping LOTO equipment close at hand.

A good lockout equipment management system is essential to ensure all devices are readily at hand when maintenance work gets underway. In our experience, maintenance workers are more likely to follow safe working practices, especially where the isolation of machinery and systems is concerned, when the necessary tools and devices are nearby.

A proactive approach to work safety

Lucozade Ribena Suntory adopted a very proactive approach to this issue. To support equipment on display boards, a common practice in other factories, they commissioned the supply of wheeled trollies to move equipment easily around the factory to the place where work would be carried out to support major shutdowns and interventions whereby a large quantity of isolations are carried out. In this way, the maintenance workers can get straight on with the work, knowing that all the locking devices and padlocks would be close at hand. A total of four trolleys were supplied to provide all the necessary equipment across all production lines.
Total Lockout visited the site to ascertain the scope of hardware required; this would include locking devices for gate valves, ball valves and butterfly valves, as well as safety padlocks, multi-lock hasps and electrical circuit breakers.
The challenge then became identifying a wheeled trolley of sufficient size to accommodate the lockout hardware. Each drawer of the trolley had custom foam inserts prepared to locate the various pieces of equipment.

Standard or customised lockout trolleys available now.

Having completed this project, Total Lockout will make this storage solution part of their standard equipment range. Offering a bespoke internal customising service will enable other customers to acquire similar storage systems to their exact requirements.
