Hazardous energy present in systems, machines, and equipment has
injured, maimed, and killed many workers. One serious injury can
stop the growth of your business in its tracks. Management of
Hazardous Energy: Deactivation, De-Energization, Isolation, and
Lockout provides the practical tools needed to assess hazardous
energy in equipment, machines, and systems, and covers how to
manage hazardous energy through elimination or control in order to
ensure worker safety and regulatory compliance.
Written in plain English with a minimum of jargon, this book
provides safety professionals with the knowledge they need to
interact with specialists, designers, and engineers to ensure that
appropriate and necessary protocols and safety practices and tools
are put into place for assessing the dangers and steps taken to
eliminate or control exposure to hazardous energy when needed.
Approaching the subject from the bottom up, the author starts at
the workplace level, to ensure that the right actions happen for
the right reasons.
The book explains a protocol for describing the flow of energy,
including transformation and/or storage; for capturing the logic of
decisions about control, including failure analysis and contingency
planning; and ultimately for creating procedures that are
technically sound and defensible. Creating simple procedures for
ensuring worker safety and regulatory compliance, the book offers
US and international strategies for hazardous energy management and
contains examples to illustrate the application of concepts to
specific areas.
