Industrial safety specialist Castell A castell is a human tower traditionally built during festivals in many places in Catalonia, Spain. At these festivals, several colles castelleres (teams) meet and try to build the most impressive towers they can.  Iso-Lok has developed a new Multi-Clasp padlock for Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures. The new lock features a standard fixed-width fixed-width - record  hasp shape and now sports a highly-visible, safety-colour coded, polyester polyester, synthetic fiber, produced by the polymerization of the product formed when an alcohol and organic acid react. The outstanding characteristic of polyesters is their ability to resist wrinkling and to spring back into shape when creased.  powder powder, any mass of fine particles or dust prepared by various mechanical means, e.g., grinding of solid substances, or by chemical means, e.g., precipitation from solutions. In a special sense, the word is applied to powdered propellant explosives, e.g.  coated finish.

The new Multi-Clasp has room for six individual padlocks to be attached, allowing multiple workers to lock off the same machine. The lock will not open until each separate padlock has been removed. This ensures that the locked-off equipment cannot be reactivated until everyone has completed their work, and safe operation can continue.

Lock-Out/Tag-Out systems work on the principle of individually keyed padlocks and keys which workers can use to lock off machinery or controls. They cannot then be operated while the worker might be at risk due to their use. Usually used during machinery maintenance, this simple, reassuringly re·as·sure
