Colored Lock System
Colored Lock System
(OP)
I am currently revising the lockout/tagout program and I am considering the possibility of color coding our locks. Does anyone currently do this and if so how is it working and how is it working out.





RE: Colored Lock System
Just be aware of some of the faults of color coding. If you color code by shift, and one of your maintenance guys is covering for someone else, s/he will have different color lock than everyone else. Coloring by department generally works better, having maintenance use red locks, and production use blue. But again, make sure whoever is working on the equipment has their name clearly identifiable to everyone else around the equipment.
