““We are introducing the S3920 Butterfly Valve, a truly unique product featuring a one-of-its-kind design that easily adjusts to fit virtually any size butterfly valve,” says Matt Dudgeon, Global Safety Product Manager for Master Lock. “It’s easy to use and applies in seconds. Therefore, I think it will command a lot of attention at the show, along with the other innovative solutions.”

The durable, thermoplastic S3920 is highly resistant to weather and corrosive elements, as well as chemicals found in many facility environments. The stainless steel rivet can smoothly pivot open-and-closed to ensure a secure fit in large or small butterfly valves. The companion S806CBL3 Cable Lockout also repels chemicals and extreme weather conditions from minus 40º to 200º F.

Master Lock® will also have a Safety Solutions™ Lockout Kit Giveaway to one winner each day of the show.

Booth visitors are encouraged to test their Lockout/Tagout knowledge in Master Lock’s product playground. Company representatives will be available to work with visitors to apply and test all Master Lock Safety Solutions in common industry applications.

Master Lock will also highlight the S4801 Self Laminating Photo ID Safety Tags and Guardian Extreme™ Metal Detectable Tags.

Highly popular since being introduced to the market earlier this year, the S4801 Self Laminating tags provide a visual representation for authorized employees. Customized with space for an employee’s name, department and photo, these tags comply with “identifiable” requirements of the OSHA Lockout/Tagout standards. Using tough polypropylene with PVC laminates to resist water, grease, extreme temperatures and common industrial chemicals, the S4801 tags can withstand over 50 lbs. of pull force.

Ideal for use in food processing and pharmaceutical facilities, Guardian Extreme Metal Detectable tags are very practical for indoor or outdoor applications. Offering superior resistance to more than 30 chemicals, these reusable safety tags hold up to the harsh effects of sun, rain, sleet and humidity, as well as windborne sand and dirt and temperatures ranging from minus 50º to 220º F. Long lasting, they can withstand over 80 lbs. of pullout force. Show attendees are encouraged to stop by the booth and pick up a free sample of Guardian Extreme reusable/rewritable tags.

Experts will be on hand to discuss the benefits of Field ID™ safety compliance software. The innovative, web-based management solution utilizes mobile devices to automate equipment inspections and Lockout/Tagout procedures. Automated identification using barcodes and RFID tags saves time with quick identification and helps minimize human error.
