Plug Lockout Devices

A plug lockout device prevents a disconnected electrical plug or cord from being reconnected while equipment is being serviced. Once the plug is pulled, the lockout device secures it, enclosing the plug head, covering the socket, or restraining the cord. This is done so no one can restore power until the lock is removed. At E-Square, we manufacture the full range of plug lockouts, and supply them across industries in 109+ countries.

    What is a Plug Lockout Device?

    A plug lockout device is a lockout/tagout device that prevents a disconnected electrical plug from being reconnected by enclosing the plug, restraining the cord, or blocking the socket, so that power cannot be restored while equipment is being serviced. In each case it accepts a padlock so the connection cannot be remade. This makes plug lockout the simplest control for cord-and-plug connected equipment – a scenario OSHA specifically addresses, covering everything from a computer power cord to a large three-phase industrial plug. It is applied alongside a personal safety padlock and a safety lockout tag.

    How to Choose the Right Plug Lockout Device?

    Selecting the correct plug lockout comes down to five practical questions:

    • What type of plug is it? Match the device to the plug: a cord plug lockout or cylinder lockout for standard plugs, a molded plug lockout for industrial moulded plugs, and the American or appliance variants for those specific profiles.
    • How big is the plug? Choose Small for compact plugs and Large for bigger plug bodies. The Set-of-2 molded option covers a mixed fleet in one purchase.
    • Is it a computer or IT power cord? Use the computer power cord lockout, which is sized for IEC-style cords on servers, and lab equipment.
    • Are you isolating a battery? For vehicles, forklifts and standby power, the battery terminal lockout secures the terminal connection rather than a wall plug.
    • What’s the environment? For oddly shaped, oversized or pendant plugs, the plug cover lockout cinches over the plug; and the clear molded version aids visual verification of the secured plug.

    Compliance & Standards

    Our plug lockout devices are designed to support compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 for the control of hazardous energy. Applied to a disconnected plug, cord or socket, they secure the energy-isolation point so it cannot be reconnected until the authorised employee removes the lock.

    For international operations, our plug lockouts also support energy-control programs aligned with:

    • AS/NZS 4024 (Australia / New Zealand)
    • EN ISO 14118: Prevention of unexpected start-up (UK / Europe)
    • CSA Z460 (Canada)

    Regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction and industry. Always verify current requirements with your local authority or a qualified safety professional.

    Plug Lockout Devices - Frequently Asked Questions

    A plug lockout device prevents a disconnected electrical plug from being reconnected while equipment is being serviced either by enclosing the plug, restraining the cord, or blocking the socket. It ensures that cord-and-plug connected machines, tools and appliances stay safely locked out, keeping the power connection under the exclusive control of the authorised worker until the padlock is removed.

    The worker disconnects the plug from its socket, which de-energises the equipment. The lockout device then secures the disconnected plug, cord or socket - depending on the model and accepts a safety padlock. With the padlock in place, no one can restore the connection, and the authorised worker retains exclusive control of the key until the task is complete.

    Match the device to your plug. We offer Small, Large and Premier cord plug lockouts for standard plugs, molded plug lockouts (including a Set-of-2 and a clear version) for molded industrial plugs, and a cylinder lockout for round profiles. If your plugs vary, the molded Set-of-2 covers a mixed fleet in one purchase.

    A cord plug lockout is a clamshell that closes around a standard plug head, while a molded plug lockout is a rugged moulded case that encloses larger or moulded industrial plugs. Choose the cord type for everyday 110 V/240 V plugs and the molded type where the plug is bigger or the environment is more demanding.

    Use a computer power cord lockout, which is sized for IEC-style computer and server cords. It secures the cord coupling so it cannot be reconnected, then accepts a padlock, making it the right choice for IT, server-room, laboratory and test-equipment isolation where standard plug lockouts may not fit.

    A battery terminal lockout device covers a battery's terminal connection so the equipment cannot be powered up during service. It is used on vehicles, forklifts and standby-power systems where isolation happens at the battery rather than a wall socket, keeping the connection secured under a padlock.

    A plug cover lockout is a cinch-style cover that goes over pendant plugs. We offer Small and Large versions, including red and with-pipe options, so oversized or non-standard plugs can still be fully covered and locked out of service. The with-pipe version protects unauthorised activation of the plug by providing a physical barrier to the plug protected inside.

    An American plug lockout, also sold as the electrical plug lockout device (ES-EPL), is a twist-style enclosure that closes around US/NEMA-type plugs so they cannot be reinserted into a socket. It is the plug lockout most widely used across the USA and other regions that share the same plug standard, and it accepts a padlock to keep the connection locked during service.

    An appliance plug lockout secures the plugs found on everyday appliances so they cannot be reconnected during maintenance. We cover this with the electrical multi plug lockout device (ES-EMPL) for multi-pin and multi-socket plugs, and the red plug lockout device (ES-RPL-UK) for UK-style, 13A appliance plugs: ideal for kitchens, facilities, hospitality and office environments.

    Our plug lockout devices are designed to support compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 for the control of hazardous energy. Applied to a disconnected plug, cord or socket, they secure the energy-isolation point so it cannot be reconnected until the authorised employee removes the lock. Regulations vary by region, so always confirm requirements with your local authority.
