Locking switch for workshop

JDW

I have two small machines running from a dedicated 16a radial circuit both on switched fused spurs 

I want to add some safety so the machines cannot be operated, I was thinking of adding a locking switch in the circuit  

Would this switch (see link) fitted before both the machines be adequate?

    Thank you for your help, I think the padlock would be too much faffing.

    Would fitting the switch next to the workshop CU feeding the two fused spurs be acceptable?

    The Machines are a small Lathe (750W) and a mill (1500W) 

    I was also thinking of fitting a bulkhead light on an un-switched spur so I would know if the circuit was left on
