Key points of energy isolation
Be able to identify which operations require energy isolation:
Work permit must be applied for all non-routine work;
The issuer of the operation permit and the executor have fully communicated with each other about the proposed operation;
The license issuer and isolation executor are familiar with the equipment and process of the facility.

Key points of energy isolation 2
The method and object of energy isolation are accurate:
Isolation is carried out only by specially trained, passed examinations, and authorized “isolators”;
After the quarantine is complete, verify the quarantined object to ensure that the quarantine is correct;
