Energy Isolation
Think safety when planning: energy sources* must be identified, locked/marked before work starts.
- Ensure energy is removed or properly isolated.
- Test for residual energy in the system.
- Necessary protective equipment must be used.
- Consider the need for barriers during risk assessment.
- Work on electrical installations must only be carried out by electrical/instructed personnel. FSE courses must be completed and a course certificate submitted
* Energy sources can be electrical, pneumatic, mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, chemical, gravity or rotation.
