Revolutionising Industrial Health & Safety
Any person that would find themselves on a customer site or facility, can download and use GryphLOCK App to record any electrical, mechanical, operational or energy source isolations. The App is designed to improve Health and Safety compliance for companies with isolation points. It simplifies the Hazardous Energy Isolations for the end-user and centralises the register system to ensure smooth auditing.
Across many industries with isolation points, they perform the standard ‘Lock Out, Tag Out’ (LOTO) process. If you were to work on equipment, LOTO requires you to switch off its energy source and attach a lock to the switch. This prevents anyone from switching it on while you’re working on it as the key to the lock is only available to the person that performed the lock out.
LOTO ensures the safety of the worker. However, this process currently uses physical report logbooks and relies on people to remember to remove their locks at the end of their shift. It can be time-consuming and human error can occur.
This is where GryphLOCK comes in.
GryphLOCK is a paperless platform that uses QR codes, a cloud-based database and real-time technology to simplify and modernise the LOTO process. A user attaches a lock, scans the code on the isolation point tag with their mobile device (Isolated entry in the digital logbook) and after their work is completed, removes the lock, scans the code with their mobile device (De-isolated entry in the digital logbook) and completes a short checklist that the company can create.
GryphLOCK helps industrial businesses go paperless and saves time and effort as well as making a safer environment for their workers. The App greatly elevates accurate reporting and therefore ensures greater customer confidence in many GMP (good manufacturing practice) and OHS (occupational health and safety) processes.
Technology Used
The main function or feature of this industrial mobile application system is to enable users and companies from any industry to log and record Hazardous Energy Isolations performed throughout their facility. There are three main technological features in this mobile application: QR code technology, a cloud-based database and real-time updates.
QR code technology modernises the LOTO process by allowing workers to easily scan a QR code and report their actions using their own mobile devices. The information reported is stored on a secure cloud-based database. Another technological feature of GryphLOCK is having real-time updates, allowing everyone to be on the same page. Going digital and using technology like this replaces the need for using physical logbooks that can be lost, damaged or tampered with, and makes the safety process more efficient and modern.
