Locking switch for workshop

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?

  • I fitted twenty one of the socket version in halls and on landings in seven blocks of flats for the cleaners to use, every one of them uses the same key, so I had forty two identical keys to give to the housing association manage, she actually ended up getting forty ?

    So they aren’t super secure, but if every one of them did have a different key it would be a nightmare managing the keys.
