Could this happen at your plant?
A worker is seriously injured when working on a machine that started unexpectedly.
An accident investigation revealed that the electrical isolation switch was faulty and:
-
The "attempt a start" procedure was incorrectly performed. The supplying switchboard had been deenergised prior to proving the isolation, or
-
The “test for dead” test was incorrectly performed. The electrician used a faulty voltmeter and didn’t test it on a known source after verifying the isolation, or
-
The isolation switch handle with the failed locking mechanism was mistakenly turned "On" by another worker
Questions:
The electrician? The supervisor? The engineer? The site manager?
In any event, what would the legal cost and lost production cost be even if no one was found to be at fault?
Redbusbar delivers product solutions to the challenge of performing electrical isolations safely.
