- 8 standard bays loaded
- 6 lockout energy sources
- 5 reference standards
How the work is done in metal
Workshop and site: short runs, plenty of tooling and plenty of machines with stored energy. The risk changes with every part and every clamping.
The jobs that set the pace
- Machining and fitting
- Welding and thermal cutting
- Boilermaking and assembly
- Load handling with the overhead crane
- Surface treatments
The bays it comes with as standard
- Cutting bay
- Welding bay
- Machining
- Heat treatment
- Shot blasting and painting
- Steel profile warehouse
- Dispatch
- Tool and die shop
Lockout/tagout, with isolation point and verification
The dashboard does not ask “what energies does your equipment have?”: in the metal profile they are already there, each one with where it is isolated and how you check that it is isolated. It is what an inspection asks to see in writing.
| Energy | Isolation point | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical | Machine panel isolator | Verification of the absence of voltage and drive discharge |
| Pneumatic | FRL air preparation unit with lockout | Circuit bled, gauge at 0 bar |
| Hydraulics | Valve of the press power pack | Controlled lowering and mechanical chocking of the carriage |
| Stored mechanical energy | Counterweight and carriage chocking | Visual check that the chock is in place |
| Thermal | Isolation of the furnace and the heating element | Pyrometer below 60 °C |
| Welding gases | Cylinder and line valve | Torch purged and regulator at 0 |
The high-risk procedures, written down
Five procedures specific to metal, written in the vocabulary of the sector and available inside the dashboard so you can adapt them to your plant.
Machine tool lockout
Presses and shears store energy in flywheels and accumulators: stopped is not zero.
Hot work
Welding and angle grinding outside a designated area, with a permit and a fire watch.
Lifting and slinging of loads
Lifting plan with the overhead crane: slings inspected, area cordoned off and nobody under the load.
Industrial radiography
Control of exposures: area cordoned off, signage and nobody inside the perimeter.
Die and press lockout
Mechanical chocking is mandatory as well as electrical isolation: gravity does not lock itself out.

Regulations that frame the work
- RD 1215/1997 · work equipment
- RD 656/2017 · gas storage
- UNE-EN ISO 12100 · safety of machinery
- RD 486/1997 · workplaces
- RD 1644/2008 · placing machinery on the market
Current references the dashboard uses to organise the documentation. IndustriaKit is a documentation tool: it does not replace the risk assessment or legal advice.
- EC declaration of conformity for the machine
- Welder qualification (UNE-EN ISO 9606)
- Overhead crane certificate
What the dashboard does with all this
Contractors and coordination of activities
Contractors working on site join free, upload their documentation and the traffic light decides who can work. RD 171/2004 coordination with minutes and signature.
Permits with QR codes
Work permit with a printable notice: in the field it is scanned and signed from a phone. LOTO warning when the job calls for it.
Maintenance and OEE
Queue prioritised by criticality, statutory maintenance schedules with their date, counters based on real usage and an OEE panel per line with a Pareto of stoppages.
Personnel and training
Fitness for work, training and health surveillance by job role, with the medical data kept outside the dashboard by design.
Open it with the metal profile and compare it with your folder
The demo opens with no card and no sales call. You choose this same sector and walk into a plant that looks like yours, with sample data you can play with without breaking anything.
The other industries in the dashboard
Each profile brings its own vocabulary, its own areas, its own energies and its own procedures. There are sixteen.
