How to Choose Lockout Equipment

01
START WITH THE PADLOCK
Each worker involved in an isolation must apply their own LOTO padlock. Keyed different padlocks ensure only the individual who applied the lock can remove it.
02
ADD A HASP FOR GROUP WORK
When multiple workers share an isolation point, use a metal or nylon hasp. Both the 25mm and 38mm options accept multiple padlocks for group lockout procedures.
03
ISOLATE CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Circuit breaker lockouts physically prevent switch reactivation. Choose the single pole 44mm for standard breakers or the 2 to 4 pole 49mm for multi pole panels.
04
COMPLETE YOUR KIT
Add cable ties to secure danger tags to isolation points. A complete LOTO kit covering padlocks, hasps, circuit breaker lockouts and tags meets AS 4024 requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What is a LOTO hasp, and when do I need one?

A lockout hasp is a device that allows multiple padlocks to be applied to a single isolation point simultaneously. It clips onto a circuit breaker, valve, or switch, and has multiple holes along its bar so that each worker involved in the job can apply their own individual padlock. The isolated equipment cannot be re energised until every padlock has been removed, meaning every worker must personally confirm they are clear before power can be restored. This is essential for group isolation procedures where more than one person is working on the same equipment. Brute Safety Products stocks a 25 mm metal hasp, a 38 mm metal hasp for heavier isolators, and a 27 mm nylon hasp as a lighter weight option.

What size circuit breaker lockout device do I need?

Choosing the right circuit breaker lockout device depends on the width and pole configuration of the breaker you need to isolate. The 44 mm single pole devices (BLT 008 and BLT 009, available in red and yellow) fit standard single pole MCBs. The 49 mm two to four pole devices (BLT 010 and BLT 011, available in red and blue) are designed to cover wider multi pole breakers. Each device clips over the breaker toggle to physically prevent it from being switched on, and includes a hole for a padlock to secure it in place. If you are unsure which device suits your switchboard, check the breaker width in millimetres before ordering. Contact the team if you need guidance on a specific panel type.

What does "keyed different" mean on a LOTO padlock, and why does it matter?

Keyed different means every padlock in the range has its own unique key. No two padlocks share a key, so only the worker who applied a lock can remove it. This is a fundamental requirement of a sound lockout tagout procedure, because it guarantees that an isolated piece of equipment cannot be re energised by anyone other than the person who placed the lock. It also creates a clear chain of accountability: if a padlock is still on an isolator at the end of a shift, you know exactly whose lock it is and who needs to be contacted before work can resume. All Brute Safety Products LOTO padlocks are keyed different as standard and carry an etched serial number for traceability.

Is lockout tagout legally required in Australia, and which standard applies?

Yes. Lockout tagout procedures are required under Australian WHS legislation whenever hazardous energy needs to be controlled during maintenance, repair, or cleaning of plant and equipment. The primary standard is AS 4024.1603, which sets out requirements for the design and use of safeguarding systems including energy isolation. In addition, AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 3012 apply to electrical isolation in fixed and construction wiring. Most state and territory WHS regulations require persons conducting a business or undertaking to have documented isolation procedures and to provide appropriate equipment to workers. Using keyed different padlocks, hasps, and circuit breaker lockout devices that comply with the relevant standard is the most direct way to demonstrate that your isolation system meets the legal requirement.

What are LOTO padlocks made from, and are they safe for use on electrical equipment?

The LOTO padlocks are constructed with a non conductive nylon body, which is specifically chosen for use on electrical isolation points where a metal body would create a shock risk. The nylon casing also resists corrosion, making these padlocks suitable for outdoor use and in environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. Each padlock measures approximately 83 x 38 to 40 mm and includes a writable identification panel so workers can mark their name or employee number directly on the lock. The padlocks comply with AS 4024.1603, which is the relevant Australian standard for safeguarding machinery and energy isolation equipment.

Built for safer workplaces

This range covers the padlocks, hasps, circuit breaker lockouts and cable ties needed to run a compliant lockout tagout procedure. LOTO padlocks are keyed different as standard, meaning each has its own unique key so only the worker who applied it can remove it, with a non conductive nylon body suited to electrical isolation points. Metal and nylon hasps (25mm, 27mm and 38mm openings) allow multiple padlocks on a single isolation point for group lockout work, while circuit breaker lockouts in 44mm single pole and 49mm multi pole formats physically block a breaker from being switched back on.

Every worker involved in an isolation applies their own padlock, and equipment can't be re-energised until every lock is removed, which is central to safe group isolation procedures. The range aligns with AS 4024.1603 for machinery safeguarding and AS/NZS 3012 for electrical isolation, and pairs naturally with the tag ranges above to complete a full lockout tagout kit.
