About us
Fortress designs and manufactures customised safety equipment, protecting lives in hazardous workplaces. Our reputation is as a global provider of robust safety specifications for manufacturing environments. Why Interlocks? Interlocking is a method of controlling two or more interdependent operations which must take place in a predetermined sequence, if necessary remotely controlled or time delayed. The need for this sequence may be safety to personnel and equipment, or it may be to control processes and productivity. Over the last 40 years, Fortress has become well known in the industry for innovative design, robust engineering and reliability. Headquarters are in Wolverhampton (UK), with supporting offices and manufacturing facilities in the USA, Netherlands, Australia and China, further supported by a global network of trusted distributors and channel partners. Fortress is a subsidiary of Halma plc. Halma is an international group of companies that make products for hazard detection, life protection, personal and public health improvement and environmental protection. Halma has nearly 50 businesses in 23 countries and major operations in Europe, the USA and Asia. It is a FTSE 100 company quoted on the London Stock Exchange.

Contact our team about our solutions to enhance Lockout/Tagout procedures in your workplace https://lnkd.in/eJMjN_KG 🔒 During the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment, unexpected start-up or the release of stored energy (such as electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic) can expose workers to hazards and result in serious injuries. Having procedures that specify how to control hazardous energy is crucial to protect employees. Lockout/tagout (LOTO) is an administrative control that relies on personnel to follow the process of isolating and discharging energy sources before carrying out the required task. There are ways to enhance this process, such as enforcing sequences in complex situations, or helping to indicate if energy is still present. #Fortress #Safety #SafetySolutions #MachinerySafety

⚡ Missed our webinar on electrical safety? Check out these short snippets from the session in the comments below! At our recent webinar we provided an introduction to electrical safety. It is crucial to identify tasks and potential hazards for personnel, comply with relevant safety regulations, and consider the specific requirements for electrical systems, including the use of voltage presence indicators. In July we added Remlive to our product portfolio. Remlive's voltage presence indicators are used to enhance isolating procedures, and have been helping to keep workplaces safe over the last 25 years. 👉 Keep updated on our upcoming webinars by filling out the form here: https://lnkd.in/eHD4BW2m #fortress #safety #safetywebinar #electricalsafety

❓How can interlock blocking prevent unexpected start-up? In applications where there is whole body access it is important to make sure the machine cannot be reset while personnel are inside the safeguarded space. Interlock blocking is an example of proactive inhibit function that consists of securing the interlock in the open position, preventing the interlock from being closed and unexpected start-up from occurring. Fortress offers a range of interlock blocking devices that protect operators working inside the safeguarded space, preventing them from being trapped and ensuring the machine cannot restart. 👉 Learn more about interlock blocking by reading our article https://lnkd.in/eNbAqHnt or find out more about Osbourn, our range with interlock blocking devices, here: https://lnkd.in/enPhHZkQ #Fortress #MachinerySafety #InterlockBlocking
