Baosteel, the largest steel
manufacturer in China, is entrusting
the safety of personnel at its Shanghai
plant to trapped key interlocking
systems from Castell.
Many steel plants in China still rely
on warning signs to remind
employees of recommended
operating procedures. However, this
method is prone to abuse, with
potentially disastrous consequences.
Castell's products are being used to ensure that Baosteel's electrostatic plating process is carried out safely.
The three interlocking systems eliminate the risk of personnel ignoring safety procedures and putting themselves in danger, by forcing operatives to strictly follow a predetermined series of steps based on the transmission of keys.
