Q

Reasons for isolating supplies using the LOTO system

A
  • allows maintenance to proceed without hazard to equipment
  • isolate equipment that is defective and its operation may be dangerous
  • prevention of ‘mode selection’ of operation equipment, may be dangerous or unavaliable
  • where equipment has been removed
