PLANCHERS MERCIER Strengthens Workplace Safety with EZSecur’s Tailored Lockout Solutions
July 19, 2022

Few success stories in industrial safety are as compelling as the evolution of Mr. Marcel Mercier’s small 1980 workshop into the cutting-edge Drummond plant. Now a leader in finished flooring production, the facility exemplifies operational excellence through automation, precision machinery, and—above all—a relentless commitment to safety. At Drummond, safety isn’t just a regulatory requirement—it’s a fundamental pillar of operations.

Raising the Bar in Workplace Safety

A defining moment in Drummond’s transformation was the implementation of an advanced lockout program. Lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures are critical for preventing accidental machinery start-ups during maintenance, protecting workers from serious hazards. By establishing a robust lockout system, Drummond reinforced its reputation as a safety-first operation, setting a benchmark for the industry.

Strategic Partnership with EZSecur

To elevate their safety measures, Drummond partnered with EZSecur, a trusted leader in specialized safety solutions. EZSecur’s expertise in lockout systems helped the plant implement custom lockout cabinets tailored to their exacting safety standards. This collaboration didn’t just ensure compliance—it redefined what effective lockout management looks like in a high-performance industrial setting.

Lockout Cabinets Designed for Real-World Use

EZSecur’s lockout cabinets were engineered with Drummond’s unique needs in mind, offering:

Dustproof Construction – Built to withstand harsh industrial environments.
Transparent Front Panels – Enables quick visual inventory checks.
High-Capacity Storage – Accommodates large padlocks and lockout devices.
Integrated Organization – Securely holds barcode lock cards and safety manuals.
Clear Identification – Ensures rapid, safe access in urgent situations.

Ergonomics-Driven Safety

Beyond durability, these lockout cabinets were designed with ergonomics in mind, ensuring they are easy to use—even in high-pressure situations. Accessibility and efficiency in safety equipment are critical, not just for compliance but for protecting lives.

A Lasting Commitment to Innovation and Safety

Under Mr. Mercier’s leadership, the Drummond plant has grown from a small workshop into an industry powerhouse—without ever compromising on safety. Its collaboration with EZSecur and investment in state-of-the-art lockout solutions reinforce the idea that innovation and safety go hand in hand.
