LOTO Lockbox — Group Lockout for Lockout Tagout
A lockbox is a special safety box used during group lockout: multiple technicians work simultaneously on the same installation, but there is only one shared switch. The key of the lockout lock on that switch goes into the lockbox, and only when each technician has removed their personal lock from the lockbox can the installation be restarted.
When do you use a lockbox?
- During large maintenance shutdowns where dozens of technicians work on one machine
- During shift handovers when work is not completed within one shift
- When a key must be kept in custody rather than staying with one person
How does it work in practice?
- The installation is locked with a master lock
- The key of the master lock goes into the lockbox, which is then closed
- Each technician places their own LOTO padlock on the lockbox
- Only when everyone has removed their lock can the master key be retrieved
- Only then can the installation be restarted
This complies with the LOTOTO procedure (Lock Out, Tag Out, Try Out) as prescribed by NEN 3140 and international OSHA guidelines.
