Increasing workplace safety with LOTO Safety solutions

Industrial

Lockout/Tagout is a best practice and critical to ensuring safe working during plant shutdowns and turnarounds

Qaid Zohar, CEO at LOTO Safety, “a homegrown brand in the UAE’, spoke to Health, Safety and Security Review Middle East, at the recent edition of Intersec in Dubai, about the innovative products his company has to offer.

“LOTO Safety specialises in providing integrated and customised solutions in Lockout/Tagout, Arc Flash Protection PPE and Electrical Safety products. These include free factory assessments, presentations, installation support and training resources.

Our products are widely used by oil and gas, utilities, aviation and sea ports, facilities management and many more industries.

Two new innovative patented products were launched at Intersec – KAB-O-LOK Cable Lockout and TEAM-LOK Safety Lockout Padlock.

KAB-O-LOK’s features considerably reduce downtime via-a-vis competitor products when isolating valves.

“ADNOC has placed their faith in us and over 10,000 units have been delivered over three months,” said Zohar.

TEAM-LOK safety padlock creates a physical and visible hierarchical tree specified in the permit to work (PTW) system by permitting sequential locking and unlocking system of first in and last out and vice versa. In most cases, the usage of hasps is also eliminated resulting in savings and reduced inventory.

The company expects to garner significant business and plans to increase its footprint globally over the next two years.

Since inception in 2011, LOTO Safety has seen double-digit growth thanks to the conducive environment and infrastructure provided by the UAE.
