Sources of energy must be isolated before plant maintenance work can commence. Hazardous energy sources include mechanical, chemical, electrical, hydraulic, radiation, thermal, gravitational, pneumatic, and kinetic energy systems. Deenergising equipment is one part of an Isolation Procedure or Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Procedure. In broad terms the procedure involves:
Develop Isolation / Lockout Procedure
Identification of the correct Isolation Point that powers the equipment
Isolate the Isolation Point
Lock the Isolation Point
Verify the Isolation Point
Record Isolation Procedure Execution Progress
Analyse & Report Isolation Procedure Information
At Redbusbar we focus on improving the integrity of Isolation / Lockout Procedures. In essence, we supply cutting edge safety products and systems that assist your company to perform steps 1 to 7 above.

Redbusbar will be exhibiting at "Safety 2012" June conference and exhibition in Denver, Colorado. The conference and exhibition is the premiere education event for the prestigious American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE). In recent months interest from the USA and Canada has been increasing strongly. While we only have a few major customers in North America word seems to be getting out. This is due mainly to the fact that the common sense approach that we take to achieving high integrity safety isolations is appreciated internationally.
At the exhibition booth we will have demonstrations running for both DeadEasy - Voltage Indicators and IsolationPoint - Isolation Management System. Please visit our booth if you have an interest in isolations. We would welcome your insights into the subject. All news Subscribe |
