The patented HALOK is a mechanism that reses the operator follows the proper Standard Operating Procedure.<br \/>\nThe HALOK Safety System, standard on all Schmidt Bulk blasting equipment built after February 2010, is much more than a Lock out-Tag out. The system is designed to mechanically force the operator to follow the proper SOP for opening the closure.<\/p>\n<p>The LOTO mechanisms put one further step in the SOP, which requires &#8220;authorized&#8221; personnel to witness the unit before the closure is opened. We are aware of no single incident where an operator who was not considered an &#8220;authorized&#8221; person was injured or killed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#\">View\/print the Safety Bulletin<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#\">View\/play the Halok Safety video<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re leading in automation and robotic technologies.
