Managing work processes with isolation certificates
To efficiently manage the work activities, around isolating assets or locations that
operate in a potentially dangerous environment, you can use the Isolation Management application. By
using this application, you can create isolation certificates that provide a system of control to
ensure the safety of the plant and its personnel.
Isolation certificates
An isolation certificate provides the details for the effective management of hazards in the work place. You can also use isolation certificates as a method of communication. The communication can be between the personnel who are responsible for the operation of the plant and the personnel who plan and do the isolation activities.
Toolbox talks
A toolbox talk is a safety presentation that is given to inform employees about hazards and safety procedures. You hold toolbox talks before the start of the activities that are associated with isolating an asset or a location. As part of controlling work processes, you can capture the content of toolbox talks.
Creating isolation certificates
An isolation certificate defines the hazards and isolation procedures that are associated with work activities. When you create isolation certificates, you provide the details and actions with which the isolation work is associated. You ensure that isolation certificates are ready to be approved. You can hold toolbox talks to communicate the safety aspects of the work activities.
Verifying the conditions that are associated with isolation certificates
A toolbox talk is a safety presentation that is given to inform employees about safety procedures. You can also use toolbox talks to verify the conditions that are associated with the work activities. You record the attendees.
Completing isolation certificates
Effective communication throughout the isolation certificate process is crucial to ensuring that risks are managed. After work is complete or if work remains for another team, the details of returning the asset or the location to a safe condition must be documented.
Canceling isolation certificates
After all of the work activities are done, and the plant is returned to a safe condition, you can cancel an active isolation certificate.
