              15 V h icle, Plant and Equipment Lock Off  and Isolation Procedures

          Before leaving your vehicle/plant unattended or attempting any minor maintenance that you have
          been instructed to carry out it is essential that measures have been taken to prevent the vehicle
          you are working on from starting and or operating. This could be going for a tea break, adjusting
          your reversing camera or blowing up a tyre for example.


                       This can only be done by isolating the equipment at its power source.

                 For all vehicles and mobile plant this will be the ignition. However, if additional
                   isolation is provided such as battery isolators etc these should also be used
                            and where possible use a multi-hasp and personal padlock.



               Do not work on any vehicle or mobile plant unless:
                         REMOVE THE KEY BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE
                        You have securely isolated the vehicle or mobile plant by removing the ignition key and
                        placing it in your pocket



                        If carrying out maintenance and you have
                        a battery isolator fitted then use a multi

                        hasp  and  padlock  on  the  isolator  if
                        possible. Everyone working on the plant

                        should  then  use  their  own  personal            Remove the Keys and
                                                                         place them in your pocket
                        padlock.

                        You  have  checked  that  the  vehicle  or
                        mobile plant has been isolated before commencing works and you are using the correct

                        PPE/RPE

                        Any stored energy (Hydraulic, electrical, pneumatic) has been safely released before work

                        starts
                        Equipment that could move or you could come into contact with has also been secured

                                                     if checking or working under a raised body or boom ensure

                                                that a body or ram prop is always used.
