    Wall Switch Lockouts

    Lockout

    with

    Label

    Mount these lockouts over a toggle- or rocker-style wall switch so it can’t be flipped during maintenance. They secure with a padlock to help you comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 requirements for locking out controls to prevent injuries. They’ll lock out your switch whether it’s on or off. When not in use, the cover flips up to allow normal operation. Made of plastic, these lockouts are corrosion resistant and nonconductive. That means they’re durable and safe for electrical applications. Use the screws on your switch cover plate to mount them in place.
    Red—Red lockouts have a warning label on the front to alert others to the maintenance.

    Similar to a seesaw, these switches have an actuator that pivots when pressed to turn them on or off. They’re often used to control lighting, but they also work with AC motor loads up to 80% of the current rating. All fit standard wall plates (not included) and won’t stick out from your wall as much as toggle light switches.

    Spring-Clamp-Terminal

    Wire Connection

    Also known as three-way switches, these are often used in large, open workspaces and can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control lights on the same circuit. They work in pairs to control lights from two different locations. Actuate the switch by pressing on the wide, flat area. With a slim, low-profile design, they protrude less than toggle switches. All fit standard wall plates (not included).
    Spring-Clamp-Terminal Wire Connection—Switches with spring-clamp terminals install quickly to create a secure connection. Just push a stripped wire into the clamp—no need to bend wire and screw it down.
