down etc$
Loc0nut the ener-y isolatin- devices with the appropriate 0ey interloc0 or sin-le 0ey
padloc0 and place a warnin- notice on the device$ "nly authorised personnel are
permitted to install or remove loc0nut devices and warnin- notices$
Ensure that there are no personnel e1posed to ris0 from the e+uipment *ein- loc0ed
out, then as a chec0 of havin- disconnected the ener-y sources, operate the usual
operatin- controls to ma0e certain that the e+uipment will not operate$

position after the test$
!fter the servicin- or maintenance is complete and the e+uipment is ready for
normal operation, chec0 the area around the e+uipment to ensure that no one is
e1posed to safety ris0$
)rior to restorin- the ener-y supply and startin- the e+uipment remove all
tolls, replace all -uards and chec0 that personnel are well clear *efore
