Lockout Tagout Solutions in Ghana: Pro-Lock LOTO Systems, Wire Cable & Safety Seals

For companies operating in Ghana’s mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, engineering, energy and industrial sectors, effective equipment isolation is an important part of safe maintenance and servicing.

Axisfield Energy supplies Lockout Tagout (LOTO) equipment in Ghana and provides access to a wide range of solutions from Pro-Lock Safety.

As a Tier 1 Pro-Lock distributor in Ghana, Axisfield Energy supports HSE, maintenance, engineering, operations and procurement teams looking for practical solutions for valve isolation, equipment lockout, plant maintenance, shutdown activities and industrial security.

Key Pro-Lock solutions available through Axisfield Energy include the Pro-Lock Complete Valve Lockout System, Pro-Lock wire cable, safety and security seals, as well as safety padlocks, electrical lockouts, lockout stations, hasps, kits and other LOTO accessories.

What Is Lockout Tagout?

Lockout Tagout, commonly known as LOTO, is a safety procedure used to control hazardous energy while machinery or equipment is being serviced, repaired or maintained.

Industrial equipment can contain several forms of hazardous energy, including electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic energy. Lockout devices help secure energy-isolating equipment so that it cannot be unintentionally operated while work is taking place.

LOTO procedures are widely relevant to environments such as mines, processing plants, factories, workshops, oil and gas facilities, power facilities and engineering operations.

Pro-Lock Complete Valve Lockout System

The Pro-Lock Complete System is a reusable valve lockout solution designed to provide flexibility across a variety of industrial isolation applications.

The standard complete system combines:

• A reusable Pro-Lock valve lockout device

• A 1.5 metre cable, cut and looped at one end

• A Pro-Lock operating tool

The system is available in red, yellow, green and blue, providing organizations with options for colour coding within their isolation procedures. 

The Pro-Lock device is manufactured from impact-resistant polypropylene and is UV stabilized, resistant to oils and greases, and designed for use in demanding industrial environments. Pro-Lock reports independent operational and drop testing across temperatures from approximately -55°C to +55°C. 

Where Can the Pro-Lock System Be Used?

Its cable-based design makes the system particularly useful for applications such as:

• Gate valve isolation

• Ball valve isolation

• Butterfly valves

• Process valves

• Pipeline equipment

• Machinery isolation

• Multiple isolation points

• Industrial maintenance

• Plant shutdown activities

• Equipment where a conventional fixed-size lockout device may not be suitable

The flexibility of the wire allows the user to route the cable around equipment before securing it using the Pro-Lock device.

Pro-Lock Wire Cable for Lockout Tagout

Pro-Lock wire cable is an important part of the system and can also be supplied separately for industrial isolation and LOTO applications.

The standard cable is made from 7×7 multi-stranded galvanized steel. The steel wire is 2.5 mm in diameter and is PVC coated to approximately 3.5 mm, providing additional protection and durability. Pro-Lock specifies a minimum breaking load of 435 kg for the wire and a safe working load of 87 kg for the cable itself; the Pro-Lock system is not designed as lifting equipment. 

Pro-Lock Cable Lengths and Variations

Different cable configurations are available depending on the isolation requirement.

1.5 metre PVC-coated cable

The 1.5 m cable is available in:

• Red

• Yellow

• Green

• Blue

These cables are looped at one end using an aluminium ferrule. 

2.5 metre PVC-coated cable

For applications requiring greater reach, Pro-Lock also offers a 2.5 m wire cable.

The manufacturer’s current range lists 2.5 m versions in:

• Red

• Yellow

• Green

Pro-Lock also offers Complete Systems supplied with 2.5 m wire, giving sites an alternative where the standard 1.5 m cable is not long enough for the isolation arrangement. 

Self-Coloured Galvanized Wire

Pro-Lock’s catalogue also includes a 1.5 m self-coloured galvanized steel wire with a 3 mm diameter and a loop formed using a copper ferrule. 

Stainless Steel Cable Options

For environments where corrosion resistance is particularly important, Pro-Lock also manufactures stainless steel versions.

The stainless steel cable uses 2.5 mm, 7×7 AISI 316 stainless steel wire manufactured to BS EN 12385. Pro-Lock specifies a minimum breaking load of approximately 388 kg and a safe working load of 77 kg for the wire itself. 

This can make stainless steel configurations particularly relevant to applications such as:

• Oil and gas facilities

• Marine and offshore environments

• Chemical processing

• Coastal facilities

• Industrial environments exposed to corrosive conditions

Choosing the Right Cable Length

The appropriate cable length depends on the equipment being isolated.

A 1.5 m cable may be suitable for many individual valve and equipment isolation applications, while a 2.5 m cable provides additional flexibility for larger equipment, wider isolation points or situations where the wire needs to travel around several components.

If a customer is unsure which configuration is suitable, Axisfield Energy can review photographs, equipment information or existing product specifications and help identify an appropriate Pro-Lock solution.

Pro-Lock Safety and Security Seals in Ghana

Axisfield Energy also supplies Pro-Lock safety and security seals in Ghana for industrial isolation, identification and tamper-evident applications.

Pro-Lock offers several types of seals, including polypropylene security seals, cable seals, stainless steel seals and biodegradable options. The seals can be used alongside Pro-Lock valve lockout devices or independently for other industrial security applications. 

Standard Pro-Lock Security Seals

The standard polypropylene security seal has an approximate overall length of 350 mm, with an approximately 290 mm tail and a 2 mm diameter.

Features can include:

• Write-on identification panel

• Seven consecutive identification numbers

• Heat-stamped marking

• Custom company-name options

• Red, yellow, green and blue colour choices

The standard seals are supplied in boxes of 1,000. 

Pro-Lock Cable Seals

For applications requiring a stronger tamper-evident security solution, Pro-Lock also produces aluminium cable seals.

These use 2.5 mm steel wire and are available in several lengths, including:

• 300 mm

• 500 mm

• 1 metre

They are sequentially numbered and may be suitable for applications such as valve isolation, containers, tanks, drums, boxes and transportation security. 

Biodegradable Security Seals

Pro-Lock also manufactures biodegradable security seals for organizations seeking an alternative to conventional single-use plastic seals.

These can be useful where environmental considerations form part of a company’s procurement or sustainability objectives. 

Applications for Pro-Lock Safety Seals

Depending on the seal type, applications may include:

• Lockout Tagout identification

• Valve isolation

• Containers

• Tanks

• Drums

• Equipment

• Storage boxes

• Industrial assets

• Logistics and transportation

• Maintenance activities

• Tamper-evident security
