How can companies protect their staffs?

This system, in form of a series of keys, are intended to enforce the safety regulation in high and medium voltage installations. These regulations are made not only to protect the personnel while working in a high and medium voltage environment but also to protect the installation from any false maneuvres which could lead to damage.

Sequences of Trapped Key Interlocking System

Steps to protecting personnel and equipment


Step One: Isolating


Isolating is the first step of the trapped key interlocking system. Mechanical locks are used in this first step. In this important step, the power supply is switched off by turning the key from a latch bolt lock to the "power off" position. A system like this prevents staff from making accidental errors or taking unauthorised shortcuts around the established safe procedure. The same key will be used to execute the second step: exchange.

Step Two: Exchanging


The second step is in the trapped key interlocking system is called "Exchange". In this step, the key obtained from the first step (Isolate) is used to start a customised sequence of trapped and released keys. This step is used to open more devices, and sometimes this step may cover up to 24 cylinders, depending on the complexity of the system.

The last sequence of the trapped key interlocking systems is "Access". In this sequence, one key taken from the exchange box from the "Exchange" sequence, can be used to unlock access to electronic equipment.
