3M’s PanelSafe Lockout  System mechanically prevents
the movement of breaker handles from the “off” position to
the “on” position with energy isolating lockout pins. With
PanelSafe, 3M is dedicated to helping you meet applicable
OSHA regulations, which require all electrical circuits to
be “locked out” prior to the servicing and maintenance of
machines, lighting and equipment. 3M PanelSafe Lockout
System complies with OSHA Standard 1910.147.

The unit, supplied with pre-drilled mounting holes, fastens
directly to the service panel dead-front using self-tapping
screws. The energy isolating lockout pins are stored in a 
holding device also attached to the dead-front by means of 
self-tapping screws, making the entire assembly and its 
accessories completely contained behind the panel door.
Those authorized to perform a lockout function need only
carry their lock and tag.

A permanently installed
circuit breaker lockout
system, 3M PanelSafe is
designed with pre-spaced
slots that correspond to
the center point of the 
service panel breaker 
handles. The unit is 
properly positioned when
the center of each pin slot
is aligned with the center
of each breaker handle.
Once installed, 3M
PanelSafe, which fits all
brands and models,
completely eliminates the
need for employees to constantly carry numerous lockout devices each designed to fit a
specific manufacturers panel and breaker type.

For the ultimate flexibility, a standard pin package includes both single-sided and 
dual-sided pins for simultaneously locking off multiple circuits. Additionally, the 
package contains a hook pin designed for use in situations where protecting against a
nuisance turn-off of dedicated or passive circuits is critical.  Such applications may
include fire suppression systems, emergency lighting and computer systems.

The use of 3M PanelSafe will increase safety as well as help reduce costs.
