Pneumatic Thermal Gravitational Radiation Potential energy (stored or kinetic)

Hierarchy of Control

The system that is indicated in Regulation1.3.3 of the Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations, 1995 that is applied in descending order to control hazards.

Isolation

The condition where an isolator makes an energy source incapable of being set in motion or releasing its energy.

Isolation Procedure

A set of predetermined steps that should be followed to keep plant and its components from being set in motion or to prevent the release of stored energy, in order to protect the safety of persons during commissioning, plant inspection, repair, maintenance or cleaning activities.

Isolator

A device that physically prevents the transmission or release of energy.

J ob Safety Analysis (J SA)

The systematic breakdown of a job into tasks/steps in order to identify hazards, assess risks and select the best control using the Hierarchy of Controls.

Lock Box

To avoid the need for multiple locks on each lockout point, a lock box may be used. Under this system each lockout point is locked by only one lock and the keys to the locks of the plant’s lockout points are placed inside a box which is locked by the individual locks of people working on the same plant.

Lockout

A system or a process designed to prevent all situations where the unexpected energization, start-up or release of stored energy of plant has the potential to endanger the health and safety or our staff or contractors. In these situations, plant shall be: Appropriately isolated and any stored energy released Have a personal lock and danger tag applied to the isolating control • •

Out of Service Tag (yellow and black tag)

Out of service tags are fitted to defective plant to indicate that no attempt is to be made to operate the plant until repairs are completed. The tags can be attached to non-powered plant such as ladders, jacks and trolleys as well as powered plant and should be attached to the main controls if possible, or to a prominent part if there are no controls (such as in the case of a damaged ladder). While an out of service tag is attached to plant, it must not be operated or use. The information recorded on each tag must be completed in full. Tags should be securely fixed, so as to be clearly visible. An out of service tag should be removed when a personal danger tag is added and vice versa. Out of service tags are intended to convey a clear DO NOT OPERATE warning and that failure to comply may result in damage to the equipment and may cause injury to a person. Except in an emergency, out of service tags shall be only removed by an authorised person who is both familiar with the plant and fully conversant with

the reason that the tag was placed. In the absence of any personal danger tag or lock, removal of an out of service tag releases plant for use, and must not be done prior to ensuring that: All people known to have been working on the plant are clear of the plant; and A documented inspection of the plant indicates that all machinery guards are in place, that all protective devices are functional, that all maintenance tools and aids have been removed, and that the equipment is safe for normal use. •

•

Plant

Any machinery, equipment, appliance, implement or tool and any component, fitting, connection, mounting or accessory used in or in conjunction with such [as defined by the Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations, 1995].

Personal Danger Tag

Personal danger tags are restricted to persons who will be working on plant. A personal danger tag on the isolation devices of an item of equipment is a warning that the equipment is in an unsafe condition and that operation of that equipment may endanger the person who attached the tag. All personal danger tags of the disposal type should be destroyed after use. A personal danger tag is not an effective isolation device by itself. A tag only acts as a means of providing information to others at the workplace. A personal danger tag shall be used in conjunction with a personal lock. A personal danger tag shall only be removed by the person whose name is written on the tag. All disposable personal danger tags shall be destroyed after use.

Personal Lock

A lock identified as a personal lock and being used for personal protection. A personal lock shall be accompanied by a corresponding personal danger tag to identify who has locked out the plant.

SWI

A Safe Work Instruction (SWI) is a document that records the process to be followed to conduct an activity safely (may have alternative names such as Safe Operating Procedure or Safe Work Method Statement). The document should have the steps to be followed to complete the activity safely recorded in a logical progression along with any controls/safety measures that need to be used.

Procedure

4.1. Introduction 4.1.1. When isolation of plant is required this procedure should be read in conjunction with the SWI for the task and any existing risk assessments etc for the particular item of plant. 4.1.2. If access to any item of plant is required for the purpose of maintenance, cleaning or repair, the item of plant must be stopped and one or more of the following controls used to minimize any risk to health or safety: a.

Lockout or isolation devices (including personal lock)

b.

Danger tags (personal danger tag)

c.

Permit to work systems

d.

Other control measures (in accordance with the hierarchy of controls).

4.1.3. If it is not reasonably practicable to carry out cleaning or maintenance while the plant is stopped, operational controls that permit controlled movement of the plant must be fitted and safe systems of work used (e.g. controlled access, buddy systems and higher levels of supervision). 4.1.4. The Functional Manager shall facilitate an adequate supply of out of service tags, danger tags, personal locks, isolating devices and any other equipment required by this procedure for relevant Council employees. 4.2. Hazard identification and risk assessment 4.2.1. The Functional Manager shall (as part of the hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control program) check that risk assessments/J SA’s have been completed for any plant that is to be used or maintained and that the isolation requirements are addressed within the risk assessment. a.

The risk assessment/J SA process shall be undertaken by a team consisting of a competent person to lead the risk assessment/J SA process’ employees who are to undertake the activity, a HSR (where one exists for the work group), the Functional Manager or supervisor and other stakeholders or experts, where relevant.

b.

The risk assessment/J SA shall cover the entire activity from preparation to work until return to service has occurred.

c.

The risk assessment/J SA shall identify all hazardous energy sources that may potentially re-activate the plant. These may include:

d.

•

Electrical (mains, solar and by generator)

•

Mechanical

•

Hydraulic

•

Pneumatic

•

Potential energy (stored or kinetic)

•

Gravitational

•

Manufacturers, suppliers, designers or importers instructions shall be referenced during the hazard identification and risk assessment process. 

•

Version No:

If original diagrams of plant installations are not available, new information (e.g.: diagrams, photographs etc) shall be sourced or developed that show isolation points, switches, valves, energy lines, pipes, power sources and control points as part of the risk assessment process.

Emergency stop buttons, lanyards and similar stop devices MUST NOT be relied upon on their own as they will not necessarily achieve isolation. In accordance with this procedure, lock out tag out or isolation must be implemented as it is extremely dangerous to rely solely on emergency stopping devices, as they cannot always be locked out and may allow energy to be inadvertently re-activated. They may also allow control circuits to remain live.

The risk assessment/J SA shall identify all hazards associated with the task. These may include, but not be limited to: •

•

Associated equipment that may need to be isolated or locked out to prevent reactivation Hazardous substances such as gases, acids, alkalis, solvents, glues or pooled liquids in which a person may drown

•

Falls

•

Burns

•

Asphyxiation

•

Impact

f.

The risk assessment/J SA shall identify other permits that may be required for the work to be carried out. These include, but are not limited to, for example permits for hot work, confined space work, excavations near buried utility lines, etc. The authorised person shall ensure all permits are issued as required.

g.

The risk assessment/J SA findings shall be documented on the relevant form.

h.

The assessment form must record the agreed estimations for likelihood and consequence and risk rating.

4.3. Risk Control 4.3.1. Controls shall be selected in descending order from the Hierarchy of Control. The risk assessment/J SA must clearly indicate what control measures are to be used. 4.3.2. When required by the risk assessment/J SA process, a Safe Work Instruction (SWI) for the task shall be developed. The SWI shall include: a.

The situation under which the isolation procedure is to be implemented

b.

The means and sequence by which the isolation will be achieved

c.

The checks that are to be performed prior to the commencement of work

d.

The positions of persons authorised to perform work and issue permits (if required) in relation to isolation and the work to be done

e.

Any other special requirements.

4.3.3. The controls identified by the risk assessment/J SA shall be in place before work commences. 4.3.4. Each person involved in the job shall sign their acknowledgement of the risk assessment/J SA prior to work commencing. 4.3.5. The findings of the risk assessment process shall be transferred to the Hazard Register. The following steps outline the general process for isolation, tag out and lock out of plant. 4.4. Out of service tags 4.4.1. Any person who identifies an item of plant which is unsafe and requires removal from service shall complete and attach an out of service tag. a.

The information recorded on each tag must be completed in full; a blank warning tag must never be used.

4.4.2. The tag shall be placed in a prominent position on the plant. It shall be clearly visible from the position where plant can be started. The tag shall be secured so that is not easily dislodged. 4.4.3. Out of service tags shall no t be relied upon to provide personal protection. 4.4.4. The person who tagged out the item shall ensure that the Functional Manager and/or Supervisor and all other relevant persons who use the plant are aware that it has been removed from service. a.

When reasonably practicable, plant that is out of service shall be moved from the usual work environment.

4.4.5. The out of service tag may only be removed by an authorised person once it is fit for return to service or disposal is to occur. 4.5. Isolation, lock out, tag out 4.5.1. The authorised person carrying out plant maintenance, cleaning or repair shall notify all required persons as to the reason and duration of isolation, prior to work commencing 4.5.2. The authorised person shall shut the plant down using the procedures established in the risk assessment/J SA or safe work instruction 4.5.3. Identify and isolate all energy sources a.

The authorised person shall undertake or coordinate the isolation of all energy sources and hazards to those working on the plant.

b.

An effective isolating device shall be used that is suitable for the type of isolation required: •

•

For some plant, isolation may only require removal of the power cord from electricity supply, removal of the keys from the ignition of a vehicle or removal of air hoses and the appropriate tag placed over this power source. This is allowable as the only form of isolation if the risk assessment/J SA permits it (e.g., if the repairer is in total control of the plant and the work environment and the plant cannot be restarted by any other means, or by any other person.) Except in the case of equipment connected via a plug and socket, a competent person such as an electrician shall isolate and disconnect the electricity supply

to an item of electrical plant (not just the control circuit) so that equipment cannot be inadvertently energized via another source or control system. 4.5.4. De-energise all stored energies a.

The authorised person shall take any or all of the following steps that are necessary to guard against energy left in the plant after it has been isolated: •

Inspect the plant to make sure all parts have stopped moving

•

Install ground wires

•

Relieve trapped pressure

•

Release the tension on springs, or block the movement of spring-driven parts

•

Block or brace parts that could fall because of gravity

•

•

•

Block parts in hydraulic and pneumatic systems that could move from the loss of pressure Bleed the lines and leave vent valves open Drain process piping systems and close valves to prevent the flow of hazardous material

•

If a line must be blocked where there is no valve, use a blank flange

•

Purge reactor tanks and process lines

•

Dissipate extreme cold or heat, or provide protective clothing

•

If stored energy can re-accumulate, monitor it to make sure it stays below hazardous levels.

Where possible the plant should be tested (e.g. by activating and deactivating controls) to confirm that no stored energy is present and that the plant (or any part of it) is not likely to activate/move. 4.5.5. Lock and tag out all isolation points a.

One person, one lock •

•

b.

If two or more people are working on plant that is isolated through several lockout points, each person shall attach a lock and tag to each lockout point or a lock box shall be used.

One lock, one key •

•

c.

If more than one person is working on the same plant, each person shall attach their own lock to prevent the isolator being opened before all locks have been removed or opened.

Each person working on the plant shall have their own lock, key and tag. There should be no duplicate key available for any lock, except a master or duplicate key for use in an emergency, that is secured and not readily available. During maintenance, cleaning or repair of the plant, the one key to each person’s lock shall be held only by that person, who is responsible for both locking and unlocking the lockout device.

If more than one energy source or hazard has to be locked out to enable safe shutdown of the plant, each energy source shall be locked out by each person working on the plant (via the use of multi-lock hasps etc), or each energy source may be locked out by a single lock, the single key to each lock being place in a lock out box and that lock out box being secured by a multi hasp and a personal lock for each person working on the plant.

A personal danger tag shall be attached to an isolator in a visible position whenever the isolator is used to lock out an energy source. It shall accompany each lock used in an isolation procedure and identify the person who put the tag and lock in place, the time and date this occurred and the item of plant being isolated. •

e.

Version No:

Out of service tags and personal danger tags shall not be used together. An out of service tag shall be removed when a personal danger tag is added and vice versa

The person doing the work shall personally fasten their personal danger tag on all lockout devices involved in the isolation procedure. If more than one person is involved in the work, each person shall attach their own lock and personal danger tag to the lockout device.

4.5.6. Test isolation devices a.

The authorised person shall test all isolated power sources first with appropriate instruments and then by trying to activate the plant, before any person attempts to start work on the plant.

b.

Work on the plant cannot begin until tests have confirmed it is safe to do so.

4.5.7. Undertake repairs or maintenance a.

As each competent person completes their task, they shall remove their own personal lock(s) and danger tag(s). You should never remove any other person’s personal danger tag.

b.

If work is not completed by the end of a working shift and the plant is required to remain isolated, arrangements should be made for out of service tags to be placed on each isolating point before personal danger tags are removed.

c.

If work on the plant is to continue during the next shift there must be a hand over by the shift leaving the site to those taking over the work. The hand over shall include the status of the work and the removal and replacement of personal danger tags and locks.

d.

Any guarding that may have been removed must be replaced and secured before energy is restored.

e.

When work is complete and all locks and tags have been removed, the authorised person shall ensure that all persons are clear of the plant before energy is restored and the machine is restarted and returned to service.

f.

The authorised person shall notify the person responsible for the plant that work has been completed and the plant has been restored to operational condition.

a.

Where a person has failed to remove a personal lock and danger tag, the authorised person can request the person return to the worksite and remove the lock and tag so that the plant can be returned to normal operation.

b.

If the authorised person is unable to contact the owner of the potentially redundant lock and tag, they shall contact the Functional Manager or Supervisor and where available, a HSR. They shall: Determine the method of isolation in use and the reason for its implementation Undertake a risk assessment relating to the removal of the isolation device(s) Remove the lock and tag and re-energise the plant or equipment if safe to do so, otherwise keep the plant tagged as out of service Monitor and review the operational safety of the plant once re-energised. •

•

•

•

c.

An Accident Investigation/Incident/Injury/Near Miss Report Form shall be completed and contain a full record of the above activities, including the name of the owner or person who did not remove their lock and tag.

d.

Failure to remove a personal lock and tag may result in disciplinary procedures or breach of contract discussions being instigated.
