Mine Isolation, Lockout and Energy Control for Plant and Machinery

Builds rigorous isolation and lockout discipline for the fixed and mobile plant that maintenance and production crews work on across African mines. Participants learn to identify and control mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and gravitational energy before work begins. The programme targets the stored energy and unexpected start up incidents that cause many serious plant injuries.
