A comprehensive and efficient  valve interlock system will be made complete if used in conjunction with a Colour Aware Key Cabinet. This is a key safe, located in a secure location under the jurisdiction of the IOM, Senior Site Superintendent or other similar autority.

If used in conjunction with the site Permit to Work (PtW) system, complete safety and security is assured.

Cabinet construction is rolled mild steel, epoxy paint coated. A Makralon (perspex) glazed door allows viewing of contents without the need to open the door.

Keys are retained on laminate, coded backing tags which display the words "Work in Progress" when a key is removed from the cabinet.

The coding system ensures only the correct key may placed on a designated tag location.

A variety of cabinet sizes are available to accommodate varying quantities of keys.
