Eliminate accident risks – effective occupational safety with lockout/tagout solutions from ABUS

Every 42 seconds, an accident at work occurs in Germany, and around every 6 minutes, one of these accidents happens in the construction industry. Although occupational safety is required by law in Germany and therefore concerns every industrial entrepreneur, the number of accidents remains (too) high.

According to the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV), there were 754,660 recorded workplace accidents in 2024, including 91,813 in the construction industry. Many of these accidents can be prevented through trained employees, appropriate safety products, and customized programs, such as lockout/tagout products. With its many years of experience and extensive range of professional lockout/tagout solutions, safety expert ABUS is a key player in this market segment, helping to prevent accidents at work.

Lock, label, or store – the right solutions for added workplace safety

ABUS lockout/tagout products  – LoTo for short  –  include safety locks and locking solutions for electrical or mechanical energy sources, as well as LockPoint, a modular system on casters for central storage and organization of LoTo products in the workplace. In addition to its products, ABUS offers the IMP LoTo program as a comprehensive solution for the systematic implementation of occupational safety measures in the workplace. The IMP system aims to prevent accidents at work in the long term. The program not only protects employees, but also offers the possibility of targeted internal organization. Various modules allow the program to be individually adapted to the needs of each company.

An expert accompanies the entire project from the outset and is available to answer questions at any time – regardless of whether a lockout/tagout system is being newly implemented, the existing system is being tested, or additional training and training days are required.

Further information on ABUS lockout/tagout solutions is available online at www.abus.com in the “Occupational Safety” section.

Background information: The lockout/tagout system is an occupational safety procedure that originated in the USA. The basic principle is that during maintenance and repair work, technical equipment is disconnected from its energy sources and secured in the switched-off position using various locks or tags. This procedure provides protection against unintentional switching on and unauthorized access to the machines. The range of such LoTo systems extends from individual products to comprehensive solutions.
