By printing a face on padlocks, each padlock can clearly show who it is protecting. PrintFace will help deter padlock tampering and will highlight that safety is very personal, says Brady.
Removing padlocks in lockout/tagout should only be done by the padlock owner, who is shown on the lock. Team leaders, or a site safety manager, can step in if necessary, by following an agreed procedure that maintains safety. Other personalisation options available include adding a company logo, serial number, text and more.
The full-colour print is abrasion -, chemical -, and UV-resistant and highly reliable in both in- and outdoor lockouts. Also, padlock engraving is available to achieve an even higher reliability, at the expense of colour and complex shapes. A third approach to personalise padlocks is to write or print basic information on self-adhesive labels supplied with any Brady padlock.
An innovative lock mechanism enables more than 100,000 key-lock combinations. All key numbers are charted to ensure no two keys in the same company will open the same lock, if so required.
