It is important for modern day process plants, large industrial installations, Oil & Gas plants and offshore installations to be able to implement methods of operation which are reliable, proactive and cost effective. In the 21st Century, a modern practice to ensure that practical and cost effectives are utilized, is to have a multi-skilled workforce.

This Energy Isolation training course will provide authorized workers with step-by-step procedures for isolating equipment using such techniques as lockout tagout, lockbox, blinding, misalignment, double block and bleed, and single valve isolation. It emphasizes each employee’s responsibilities during those procedures using practice exercises and simulations. Key Topics Covered: Energy Isolation Standard, the types of energy sources, potential hazards, and step-by-step procedures for isolating equipment.

This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight:

  • The importance of regional legislative requirements
  • Best practice vs. Minimum requirement
  • Safe working practices
  • Electrical isolation and procedures
  • Instrumentation system isolation
  • Mechanical isolation
  • Common problems and solutions

To provide the necessary competencies, skills and knowledge to enable course delegates to use the proper procedures for isolating the energy source(s). This training course covers recognition of hazardous energy sources, procedures and methods of isolation and specific standards and practices for electrical and mechanical energy isolation.

By the end of this Energy Isolation training course, participants will learn to:

  • Demonstrate familiarity with the principals of Energy Isolation
  • Demonstrate a basic understanding energy sources
  • Demonstrate a basic awareness of procedures standards and practices
  • Understand the need for implementing Safe Systems of Work
