In industries where safety is paramount, particularly in high-risk sectors like chemicals, oil, gas, and manufacturing, securing critical equipment such as safety valves is essential. Safety valve locks (or safety valve lockouts) are devices designed to prevent the accidental release of hazardous materials or gases by locking safety valves in a closed or secure position. These locks are vital components of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, which ensure that machines or systems cannot be started up until all energy sources have been properly isolated.
