Optimal maintenance safety in a standardised, worldwide approach
11 July 2022
For optimal safety during machine maintenance, a large renewable energy producer implemented a worldwide standard approach to Lockout / Tagout. This life-saving procedure enables maintenance specialists to isolate machines from their energy supply while interventions are ongoing.
The safety of its employees is a high priority at one of the world’s largest renewable energy producers. As a result, company sites in various countries started testing Lockout / Tagout at a site level to neutralise electrical circuits during maintenance interventions.Lockout / Tagout requires written procedures that enable employees to fully neutralise machines from their energy supply using a blocking mechanism and padlocks. This procedure prevents premature activation of machinery, and any injuries caused by various forms of energy and moving machine parts.
The renewable energy company now wanted to globally standardise its approach to Lockout / Tagout, so that every site in every country could optimally benefit from company best practices, and achieve the highest levels of maintenance safety.
Brady proposed sets of relevant and dedicated Lockout / Tagout tools based on customer needs. Lockout / Tagout specialists demonstrated and tested all proposed tools at a pilot site, to enable our customer to make a fully informed final selection.
Brady offers several solutions that can block circuit breakers in the off-position while maintenance is ongoing. They prevent shocks and burns caused by accidentally re-energising circuits by unauthoried personell. They can be locked in place with Brady’s Lockout / Tagout padlocks, including the SafeKey padlock, available in non-conducting nylon versions, complete with colour-coded padlock bodies and matching keys.
To meet customer requirements, 2 practical, standard maintenance safety kits were created containing the selected Lockout / Tagout tools. These kits were made available to customer sites anywhere in the world, to enable streamlined and safer machine interventions.
The large renewable energy producer’s maintenance specialists now use the same Lockout/Tagout tools in a standardised approach to maintenance safety. This enables increased safety during maintenance anywhere in the world, fast sharing of best practices and a very efficient and centralised management of maintenance safety procedures.
