Interlock Blocking - Reducing the Risk of Being Trapped Inside a Safeguarded Space

Interlock Blocking Devices - Retrofittable Safety Keys to Existing Safety Gate Switches

The Interlock Blocking (IBL) Device designed by Fortress is a retrofittable safety key for whole body access to equipment through machine guarding. It is mechanical only and simply blocks the door from opening or closing without the procedure being followed.

Unlike a forced extracted safety key, the IBL offering provides this functionality without needing to make changes to safety switches provided on existing equipment.



 
Whole Body Access in machinery safety is a serious issue. Situations where operators may be trapped inside a safeguarded space when a machine restarts is a real and critical risk.

Fortress is known for it's trapped key systems and providing safety or personnel keys to protect operators entering safeguarded spaces, but now we have an addition to our range that can be retrofitted to a gate using any interlock switch.


The pre-recorded webinar below is just 20 minutes long and provides an in-depth introduction to the new "IBL" solution and explains how it can help you protect operators and meet the latest safety standards.
