Weatherproof vs. Weather-Resistant LOTO Devices—What Safety Managers Need to Know
Weatherproof vs. Weather-Resistant LOTO Devices—What Safety Managers Need to Know
Not all protection is created equal.
If your lockout/tagout device isn’t built to handle the real conditions your crew faces, then your safety system has a weak point and that can cost you.
So what’s the real difference between weatherproof and weather-resistant? And why does it matter so much?
Weather-Resistant vs. Weatherproof: Know the Line
🟡 Weather-Resistant means it can handle some exposure, such as light rain, sun, maybe some dust, but not over time or under pressure.
🟢 Weatherproof means it’s sealed, rugged, and designed to take a beating from the elements day after day.
If your tag fades in the sun, washes away in rain, or cracks in the cold, then you’re out of compliance and out of luck.
