COMPLIANCE | |
Site | ||
1 | Has a person been nominated as being responsible for the management overview of all plant and equipment isolations on site | Yes |
2 | Has the nominated person sufficient information and training to enable them to manage their responsibilities competently. | Yes |
3 | Has a Risk assessment been carried out to identify all situations where energy isolation of plant and equipment would be required? | Yes |
4 | Is there a written procedure for the safe energy isolation of all plant and equipment? | Yes |
5 | Have all relevant employees been trained and had supervised practice at implementing the safe energy isolation of the relevant plant and equipment? | Yes |
6 | Is their a list of trained personnel kept and updated on a regular basis> | No |
7 | Are appropriate there suitable and sufficient LOT devices (pad-locks, LOTO tool kits, valve, covers, etc.) available. | Yes |
8 | Is there a system and procedure to ensure that the locks of employees and others cannot be removed without a thorough search and investigation by the nominated responsible person. | No |
9 | Has each installation been equipped with suitable and sufficient energy isolating devices so that equipment can be effectively locked out | Yes |
10 | Have all relevant managers and supervisors been trained on the procedures and their obligations to ensure the safe energy isolation of plant and equipment. | Yes |
11 | Has the Risk Assessment procedure identified where a Permit to Work procedure should be applied? ( where more than 3 isolation points for sources of energy) | Yes |
12 | Do your procedures require every employee who is 'at risk' applies an individual Lockout device to each source of hazardous energy, thereby ensuring his/her personal safety. One Lock - One Key! | No |
13 | Have the procedures determined the type and number of safety Lockout and Tag devices required, | Yes |
14 | Is there a procedure to ensure that all safety Lockout devices are safely stored in designated locations and condition checked on a regular basis. | No |
15 | Do your procedures specifically require that stored or residual energy is dissipated or restrained by an approved method? | Yes |
16 | Do your procedures require that isolation is verified by trying to start the equipment after isolation (provided it is safe to do so!) | No |
17 | Do your procedures require that a Dynamic Risk Assessment (60 seconds to think) before work commences on isolated equipment, | No |
18 | Does your procedure require that for any equipment that is locked out and left unattended, there is a verification check that the locks have not been damaged or removed before work recommences | Yes |
19 | Do your procedures require a safety check of the work area to ensure the safe removal of personnel, equipment and tools from the area before energy is restored. | Yes |
20 | Does your procedure require that all safety components such as interlocks and guards are fully restored to service before the energy source is reconnected. | Yes |
21 | Does your procedure require that all affected employees are informed that the energy resources have been restored and that the equipment is ready for use. | Yes |
22 | Is there a requirement that all contractors who work under a Lockout/Tagout system have an Authorised Status or are subject to Permit to Work requirements. | Yes |
23 | If Risk Assessments have identified that Production Employees will have to make frequent access of short duration to equipment during normal production without full Lo/To provision, have they received specialised training on safe working procedures that will ensure their safety. | Not Applicable |
24 | Is there a procedure to ensure that all temporary staff, agency staff or contractors are informed and trained where necessary on the local requirements for energy isolation? | Yes |
25 | Do your procedures ensure that Lo/To is continuous for shift and personnel changes | No |
26 | Do you have a procedure for the safe removal of Lo/To devices in the event of someone accidentally leaving them in place? | No |
27 | Have you an audit and review procedure to ensure that all the requirements of your Plant and Equipment Isolations are effective?. | Yes |
