Energy Isolation

Hazardous energy is any form of energy with the potential to cause harm. This includes electrical, chemical, mechanical (or kinetic) energy, or stored energy such as gravitational, potential, pneumatic and hydraulic pressure energy.

Energy Isolation is the process of disconnecting energy sources completely. All Energy Isolation Works must be conducted safely to eliminate or minimise, so far as is reasonably practicable, the risk of injuries, fatalities and incidents associated with such operations.

The following Critical and Standard Controls must be in place.
