Map and prepare fr lckut and tagut: a. All energy in the system shall be mapped. b. Wrk instructins fr discnnectin shall be prepared. c. Wrk requires wrk permit (AT). d. Risk assessment thrugh a secure jb analysis (SJA).. Ntify all interested parties: a. What, why, hw lng, respnsible persn. 3. Shut dwn and stp the system: a. Accrding t the system's instructins fr shutdwn. b. Check that all switches are in the "ff" psitin. c. Check that all mving and rtating parts have stpped cmpletely. 4. Detect, discnnect and islate energy supply: a. Identify and check all dangerus energies listed in paragraph 1. b. Discnnect and islate energy surces and residual energies. Use written wrk instructins fr the system r prcess. c. Empty r islate residual energy and stred energy accrding t prcedure / instructins. 5. Lck and tag: a. Lck switches and valves in "OFF" by setting the padlck n the devices that islate the pwer supply. b. Similarly, lck stred residual energy blckages. c. Tag lck with discnnect infrmatin. 6. Ensure that lcks and tags are nt remved befre wrk is dne. 7. Check that the system is shut dwn and dead: a. Chse the methd that best ensures that the system is discnnected and emptied, r fllw the prcedure/instructins. 8. Perfrm maintenance. 9. Finish maintenance: a. Cnsider whether it is safe t put the system in peratin. Side 13 (14)

14 b. Wait t remve the lck and tags until the system is ready t be put int peratin again. c. Ntify affected wrkers that the system is in peratin again. Reference is made t the Safe Stp f Machines - "Lckut and tagut". Side 14 (14)
