What are the energy sources which may need to be isolated?
- Electrical
a. Primary/secondary supplies
b. Batteries and capacitor bank
c. Inputs from other equipment - Chemicals
a. Volatile solids
b. Flammable gases and liquids - Liquids and gases (water,air,steam)
- Stored energy (compressed springs)
- Gravity
What are the risks associated with Isolations
- Personnel
- Other Systems
- Capability
What characteristics should a physical isolation device have
a. Identifiable. Any person who sees a lockout device must be able to recognise who applied the lockout and understand its purpose; all isolations/lockouts must be tagged.
b. Durable. Lockout devices must be suitable for the environmental conditions in which they are used, (wet, damp, vibratory or corrosive conditions). In particular, it must be able to withstand conditions that could lead to the isolation failing; for example, attached to equipment which is vibrating.
c. Substantial. Lockout devices must be strong enough that they cannot be easily tampered with or removed inadvertently.
d. Exclusive operation. Where a physical key lock is applied, each lock requires a unique key or combination.
What colour is the ships isolation lock
Purple
What does the IO do?
The IO holds the supervisory role to check the complied RFI and approve it for use. They can perform all the roles of the IW. They must vet RFI’s for correct details and ensure the correct isolation points are detailed on the RFI.
The IO is to ensure the work area is safe to restore the plant. Once satisfied, they issue the key for the IW to restore the plant.
What is an isolation plan?
An Isolation Plan is one or more isolation maps, compiled for inclusion in a maintenance plan/schedule, which provides maintenance planners with a clear understanding of the interactions, timings and risks associated with the activities. This will ensure tasks are de- conflicted during the planning phase based on system/equipment isolation requirements.

The Job Controller and Isolation staff must attempt to contact the owner of the lock and recall them.

If the personal lock cannot be contacted, the IW and IO must conduct a thorough inspection of the work are to ensure no person is in the position of danger. The IO will contact the appropriate authority or principle contractor to gain permission to remove lock. This is recited in Isolation Alteration of the RFI and signed by IO, EO and principle RA. Notification must be
What is WAH
The management of the risk associated with the hazards of WAH, falls and falling objects
What job does the Isolation Administrator perform?
IAS can perform tasks of the IO an IE, however they are employed within the system to conduct audits, Ship’s Master Isolation Dataset and template maintenance and ensure the Safe Systems of Work and authorisation matrix are maintained correctly.
