ESC Services

Rockwell Automation, Inc. has acquired ESC Services, Inc., a global hazardous energy control provider of lockout-tagout services and solutions.

ESC Services develops and installs equipment-specific lockout-tagout procedures featuring custom graphics and safety workflows. Lockout-tagout is a safety procedure that is used to ensure that dangerous machines are properly shut down and not restarted before maintenance and service work is completed. It requires hazardous power sources to be isolated and rendered inoperative before any repair procedure is started.
