SPEX MFV - Safe Isolation of Energy

Information

Notes for Site Visits conducted as required by Project HSSE Plan Team Leader is responsible for report generation and submission Site Host is given direct feedback of visit outcomes before visiting team leaves the site MFV Leader agrees "SMART" actions with site host Host holds responsibility to follow up on agreed actions. Visit reports are recorded on site visit template only (this record) All completed site visit reports to be sent to the Project HSSE Coordinator for filing in Livelink - clearly handwritten reports are acceptable for submission. Visit record not marked as completed (Green) until visit report is submitted. Next MFV team uses past reports for part of their visit, following up on completions of previous actions.

There is a method of control for hazardous energy using Hierarchy of Controls i.e.
Hazardous energy associated with work activity is identified and assessed, this includes temporary equipment.
Procedure for cataloguing, locking and tagging isolated hazardous energy is in place.
Integrity checks on isolation devices are conducted, verified (Lock, Tag, Try) and isolated by competent person for the relevant hazard (e.g. SME electrical) before work begins on the system.
Energy isolation procedures are clearly defined and understood by all personnel involved.
Permit to work and isolation list are used to control work around hazardous energy.
A competent authority verifies positive isolation.
People who are trained and authorised to isolate, lock and tag are specified.
A method is in place to put equipment and systems back in service. The system integrity of the isolated system is assured before it is put back in service, and the Permit is signed off/ completed.
Prior to Commisioning and making systems live in a construction environment, specific systems are identified, demarcated and signalled. The activity is communicated to the work force through toolbox meeting and the risk of SIMOPS are assessed and controlled by the site PTW lead.
