Safety padlocks are used for tagging and locking in workshops and offices to ensure that the power of the equipment is completely turned off and the equipment remains safe. Locks prevent equipment from being accidentally opened, causing injury or death. Another purpose is to serve as a warning, which is different from the anti-theft function of ordinary locks.
Anti-theft locks are locks that ensure the safety of workers in a workshop or factory. In European and American countries, there have been specific requirements for the use of safety locks for a long time. The U.S. OSHA “Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulations” Hazardous Energy Control Regulations clearly stipulate: Employers must establish safety procedures and install appropriate lockout/tagout devices on energy isolation in accordance with the procedures to prevent accidental power supply, activation, or release of stored energy. , thereby preventing harm to employees. There are also domestic regulations such as the “Safety Production Licensing Regulations”, which also have clear regulations on the use of safety locks.

Construction started on May 28, 1978 and went into production on October 24, 1987. In 2009, the approved production capacity was 1.5 million tons/year, with 4,660 employees, and the “four certificates and one certificate” were complete and valid.

Wang Min, Secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee, and Li Xi, Governor of Liaoning Province, made important instructions respectively. At present, all mines owned by Hengda Coal have stopped production for rectification, and a large-scale investigation of potential safety hazards is being carried out.
The above is the big news that happened before. We can also see how important security is to a company and even individuals. Boyue believes that the application of safety locks will be a major trend in industrial security in the future. Many foreign countries have laws and regulations. Safety locks are very good and the regulations are very clear. As the world’s factory, China has not done enough in this regard. But with the advancement of technology and the increase in income, doctors feel that they will pay more and more attention to safety.
