Q

What is the procedure to follow when removing a LOTO

A
  1. obtain permission
  2. sign LOTO safety certificate for removAL
  3. collect the correct fuses, Part B&C label
  4. make sure circuit isolation switches are open
  5. Remove part A and empty fuse holder, using a GPTME set voltage measure across the empty fuse way, if it’s 0 put the fuse back in fuse holder and the fuse holder back in fuse way then repeat for fuseway 2&3
  6. Return LOTO labels ABC to senior rate
  7. Sign safety certificate for LOTO removal &closure
  8. close LOTO index sheet entry
  9. Destroy label put certificate in section 6 of log book
