Industrial safety has always been an indispensable part of the production process. In any industrial setting, whether it's manufacturing, warehousing, or transportation, it's essential to ensure the safety of personnel and property. In such scenarios, safety locks become crucial for protecting assets and ensuring workplace safety.
工業安全一直是生產環節中不可或缺的一環。在任何工業場所，無論是製造、倉儲還是運輸，都需要確保人員和財產的安全。在這種情況下，安全鎖成為了保護資產和確保工作場所安全的關鍵。
Industrial safety locks are also paramount to ensure equipment is properly de-energized during maintenance, thus avoiding hazards from unintended energization. The implementation of the industrial safety tag-out process, as outlined in Occupational Safety and Health Facilities Regulations Article 254 is crucial for safeguarding personal safety.
而工業安全鎖的必要性也是很高的，為了可確保維修期間，設備正確關閉電源，避免開啟觸發危險，職業安全衛生設施規則第254條實施工業安全掛牌流程，保障人身安全。

Article 254
第 254 條
Employers are required to implement the following facilities upon confirming circuit isolation prior to engaging in the laying, construction, inspection, repair, painting, or other operations related to the circuit, its supporting structures, or objects in proximity to the circuit:
雇主對於電路開路後從事該電路、該電路支持物、或接近該電路工作物之敷設、建造、檢查、修理、油漆等作業時，應於確認電路開路後，就該電路採取下列設施：
One, during the open circuit switch is in operation, switches for circuit isolation should be locked or labeled with "Power Transmission Prohibited," "Power off operation in progress," or monitored by assigned personnel.
一、開路之開關於作業中，應上鎖或標示「禁止送電」、「停電作業中」或設置監視人員監視之。
Two, if after the open circuit contains power cables, power capacitors and other electric circuits, that may pose a hazard due to residual charge, proper discharge procedures should be implemented to ensure safety.
二、開路後之電路如含有電力電纜、電力電容器等致電路有殘留電荷引起危害之虞，應以安全方法確實放電。
Three, after the open circuit has eliminated the residual charge through discharge, it should be inspected electrical testing equipment to confirm that it has lost power. In order to prevent the power outage circuit from mixing with other circuits, induction from other circuits, or reverse flow of other power sources.
三、開路後之電路藉放電消除殘留電荷後，應以檢電器具檢查，確認其已停電，且為防止該停電電路與其他電路之混觸、或因其他電路之感應、或其他電源之逆送電引起感電之危害，應使用短路接地器具確實短路，並加接地。
Fourth, if the power outage operation area in the preceding paragraph is part of the power generation or substation equipment or switchyard, the power outage operation area shall be surrounded by blue ribbons or nets, and the "Power Outage Operation Area" sign shall be hung; The parts with power shall be marked in red Enclose the area with tape or netting, and hang an "Electrical Danger Zone" sign as a warning.
四、前款停電作業範圍如為發電或變電設備或開關場之一部分時，應將該停電作業範圍以藍帶或網加圍，並懸掛「停電作業區」標誌；有電部分則以紅帶或網加圍，並懸掛「有電危險區」標誌，以資警示。
When power is supplied after completing the work specified in the preceding paragraph, it should be confirmed in advance that there is no risk of electric shock to the workers engaged in the work, etc., and this should be done after removing the short-circuit grounding equipment, red and blue ribbons or nets and signs.
前項作業終了送電時，應事先確認從事作業等之勞工無感電之虞，並於拆除短路接地器具與紅藍帶或網及標誌後為之。

In industrial safety management, padlocks are commonly used and effective safety devices to ensure the security of machinery, toolboxes, doors, and other facilities. To ensure the safety of all personnel, the last worker's padlock is removed from the hasp before they leave, preventing accidental activation of machinery and potential injuries.
工業安全管理中，搭扣鎖是一種常見且有效的安全設備，用於確保機器設備、工具箱、門窗等設施的安全。為確保所有人員安全，最後一名工作人員的掛鎖從板扣取下前，將無法開啟機械設備，以防誤啟設備造成傷害。
When selecting padlocks, it is essential to identify your specific needs, such as areas or equipment requiring additional safety protection. This may include machinery, toolboxes, warehouse doors, among others. After identifying your application scenarios, choose the appropriate padlock, considering different sizes, shapes, and materials available.When installing padlocks, they should be placed in appropriate positions based on the characteristics of the equipment or facilities, ensuring a secure installation resistant to tampering or movement.
而在選擇搭扣時，需要確認您的需求，例如有哪些區域或設備需要額外的安全保護。這可能包括機器設備、工具箱、倉庫門等。確認您的應用場景後再選擇適合的搭扣，而搭扣鎖有不同的尺寸、形狀和材質。在安裝搭扣時需要根據設備或設施的特點，將搭扣安裝在適當的位置。確保搭扣安裝牢固，不易被破壞或移動。
After installing padlocks, users should receive relevant training on how to correctly use them, set them up, and take appropriate actions in case of issues. Regular inspections of padlocks are necessary to ensure their proper and reliable operation. When needed, cleaning, lubrication, and replacement of damaged parts should be carried out.
在確認安裝完搭扣後，需要向使用者提供相應的訓練，包括如何正確使用搭扣、如何設置、以及遇到問題時應該採取的應對措施。而使用的搭扣也需要定期檢查搭扣的狀況，確保其運作正常且安全可靠。必要時，進行清潔和潤滑，並更換損壞的零件。
While ensuring that the padlocks used comply with relevant safety standards and regulations, maintaining records related to padlock usage, including installation locations and maintenance logs, is essential. Additionally, access to padlocks should be managed and controlled based on different users and job responsibilities, ensuring that only authorized personnel can use padlocks to maintain safety.
在確保使用的搭扣符合相關的安全標準和法規要求的同時，保留使用搭扣的相關紀錄，包括安裝位置、維護記錄等，且也需要根據不同的用戶和工作職責，管理和控制對搭扣的使用權限。確保只有授權人員可以使用搭扣，以維護安全。
Padlock usage is an integral part of industrial safety management. Proper use of padlocks can effectively enhance workplace safety and protect equipment from potential hazards.
搭扣鎖是工業安全管理中重要的一環，正確使用搭扣鎖可以有效地提高工作場所的安全性和保護設備的安全。

Evaluating the site and usage conditions is one of the crucial steps in selecting suitable industrial safety locks. The first consideration is the environmental factors of the site, including humidity levels, temperature, climate conditions, among others. If the site is prone to moisture or frequently exposed to humid environments, it is necessary to choose industrial safety locks with waterproof features to ensure their proper functioning and extend their service life.
評估場地及使用狀況是選擇適合的工業安全鎖時的關鍵步驟之一。首先需要考慮的是場地的環境，包括潮濕程度、溫度、氣候條件等因素。如果場地容易潮濕或經常暴露於潮濕環境中，則需要選擇具有防水功能的工業安全鎖，以確保其能夠正常運作並延長使用壽命。
Additionally, attention should be paid to the possibility of electricity or sparks being generated at the location. If the workplace involves the presence of electricity or sparks, it is essential to choose industrial safety locks with explosion-proof features to reduce the risk of fire and explosions. These explosion-proof locks typically utilize special materials and designs that effectively prevent the generation of sparks or static electricity.
此外，需要注意場所是否會有電力或火花產生的情況。如果工作場所存在電力或火花，則需要選擇具有防爆功能的工業安全鎖，以降低火災和爆炸的風險。這些防爆鎖具通常採用特殊的材料和設計，能夠有效地防止火花或靜電的產生。

Instances of accidents resulting in injuries or fatalities due to inadvertent activation of power sources are not uncommon. To ensure the safety of workers during maintenance, equipment servicing, inspection, and similar operations, it is imperative to exercise caution and implement appropriate lockout/Tagout measures.When carrying out these tasks, it is crucial to properly lockout and Tagout industrial equipment to prevent its inadvertent activation by others, thereby mitigating the risk of occupational injuries to maintenance personnel.
經常應注意而未注意，啟動電源造成人員傷亡意外的情況時有發生。為了確保維修、保養機械、檢查等作業的安全，我們必須謹慎行事並採取適當的措施。在進行這些作業時，我們務必做到工業安全上鎖並標示，防止其他人員意外啟動機械或設備，進而導致維修人員發生勞工職業傷害。
By utilizing industrial safety locks and implementing relevant safety measures appropriately, we can effectively reduce the risk of accidents in industrial operations and safeguard the safety and well-being of personnel.
透過適當的使用工業安全鎖和相關的安全措施，我們可以有效地降低工業作業中的事故風險，保護工作人員的安全和健康。
