16. Nominated Persons
• EACH OPERATING SITE IS TO PRODUCE A LIST OF NOMINATED PERSONS
• NOMINATED PERSONS WILL HAVE RECEIVED INSTRUCTION AND HAVE
BEING ASSESSED TO BE COMPETENT
• Every contract requires a nominated person to be Authorised in writing by
his Department Director.
• As ANP they will receive:
• Letter detailing duties, duration, site*
• Copy SEE Plc. Safe Working Rules
*The letter gives Authorisation for the named site only.

17. Safe Isolation
• Check isolator disconnects all supplies
• Check alternative sources of supply (where applicable)
• Isolator to be locked off and key held by ANP (Key Safe)
• Where there is no facility to lock off fuses or links may be removed and
held by ANP (Key Safe)
• Warning notices must be displayed (Cation Notice)
• PROVE ALL CONDUCTORS DEAD with appropriate test instrument BEFORE touching.
• Danger Notice to be displayed on all LIVE Equipment.

18. SAFE SYSTEMS OF WORK
Two Safe Systems of Work to be used for both
mechanical and electrical works:-
1. TAGOUT SYSTEM
LOW RISK WORK
2. PERMIT SYSTEM
HIGH RISK WORK
can also be used for low risk work

19. TAGOUT & PERMIT SYSTEM
SSW S.06/1 – Tagout Procedures
TB/01/906 - Safety Padlock Policy.
Note :- Safety locks are coloured Red and
have a single unique key and are
used solely for isolation purposes.

20. TAGOUT PROCEDURES
• Tagout is to be used for local isolation and
short duration work only.
• The Competent Person (CP) personally holds
the isolation keys.
+

21. PERMIT SYSTEM
• The work is under the control of the required Authorised
Person (AP), electrical, confined spaces etc.
• The works are carried out in accordance with the relevant
Safety Rules.
• The AP carries out the high risk Risk Assessment
• And issues the Safety Documentation
• Safety Lock(s) (red) or Caution Tape + Caution Sign(s) are
used.
• Isolation keys are locked in a Key Safe (or other secure
place). Under control of the ANP

23. HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES ARE CLASSIFIED AS:-
• Live Working (Pressure Systems, Electrical, Gas).
• Confined Spaces.
• Other Hazardous Areas.
• High Voltage (at or greater than 1000V).
• Low Voltage Main Intake Switches, Switchboards and Equipment
having two or more sources of supply, plus cables and other
equipment on the supply side of the Main Intake Switch.
• Pressure Systems.
• Gas Systems above a nominal 21 mbar.
• LPG Systems above a nominal 37 mbar.

24. Locking Off
Example: Locking Circuit Breakers
MCB’ & MCCB’s
Use of proprietary locking off devices
Example:
Multiple Isolations / Rotary Isolators

27. Sequence for proving Dead
• Prove Voltage Indicator on a known source or with a proving
unit.
• Test all conductors which are to be worked on including the
Neutral.
• Retest the Voltage Indicator after testing each conductor.

28. Sequence for proving Dead
• ISOLATE AT ALL SOURCES OF SUPPLY
• LOCK OFF AND FIT SIGNS
• PROVE DEAD
• ISSUE PERMIT AT POINT OF WORK

36. Pressure Testing
Pneumatic & Hydraulic Testing of services pipework
SAFE METHOD OF WORK
• Inform the Site Manager or their representative of the works to be carried out
• Check that the work area is clear for the work to commence.
• Brief the work team of the works to be carried out and sign the briefing sheet
attached.
• Cordon off the work area to prevent unauthorised access.
• ENSURE WARNING SIGNAGE IS POSTED THROUGHOUT THE TEST AREA

37. Pressure Testing
Pneumatic Testing (Air Test)
• Check that the work area is clear for the work to commence. A site-specific / task specific risk assessment must be carried out prior to
the work commencing using form FM/H&S/RISK/02. Where indicated on the risk assessment a separate manual handling risk
assessment may be required. If so use form FM/HSE/RISK/03
• Put into place any ‘control or additional control measures’ indicated on the risk assessment.
• Place Pressure testing warning signs in the location to warn others of the testing in progress and to set up Exclusion zones and time
when tests can be carried out will be agreed on site with St. George and implemented. This will be a dynamic process and under
constant review
• Connect test manifold to the steel and plastic pipework. NOTE: Ensure the test manifold components are rated above the test pressure
• Check all isolation valves where fitted are in the open position.
• Install a secondary vent valve as a backup and plug the valve. NOTE: Ensure it is rated above the test pressure
• Fill the system
• Bring the system up to 0.5 bar pressure and close the valve
• Check for air leaks and observe the pressure gauge for 15 Minute’s
• Bring the system up to the test pressure & disconnect the compressor.
• After 1 hour (or as required by the specification) check for pressure drop and if satisfactory obtain signoff from the client using
appropriate QA forms.
• A controlled evacuation of the air using the valve will discharge the pressure Eye & Hearing protection must be worn.
• If the system lets buy then the engineer will test with a leak detector spray (soapy water) on joints to establish the leak, then retested
as above.
• All valves to be left in the open position
• Clear the area and leave in a safe condition.

38. Pressure Testing
Hydraulic Testing (Water Test)
• Check that the work area is clear for the work to commence. A site-specific / task specific risk assessment must be carried out prior to the work
commencing using form FM/H&S/RISK/02. Where indicated on the risk assessment a separate manual handling risk assessment may be required. If
so use form FM/HSE/RISK/03
• Put into place any ‘control or additional control measures’ indicated on the risk assessment.
• Place Pressure testing warning signs in the location to warn others of the testing in progress and to Set up Exclusion zones and time when tests can
be carried out will be agreed on site with St George and implemented. This will be a dynamic process and under constant review
• Connect test manifold to the steel pipework.
• Check all isolation valves where fitted are in the open position.
• Install a secondary vent valve as a backup and plug the valve.
• Fill the system with water ensuring all air is vented out before testing
• NOTE: When using water for pressure testing ensure that the system is properly vented before pressurisation.
• Testing should always start by applying a low pressure (below safe operating limits) to verify initial integrity of the system.
• Bring the system up to 2 bar pressure and close the valve
• Check for water leaks and observe the pressure gauge for 15 Minute’s
• Raise the test pressure in stages (holding the pressure for a period of time) to reduce the potential energy release resulting from failure of the
assembly and associated components under test.
• Bring the system up to the test pressure & disconnect the hydraulic pump.
• After 1 hour (or as required by the specification) check for pressure drop and if satisfactory obtain signoff from the client using appropriate QA forms.
• A controlled evacuation of the water using the valve will discharge the pressure to a suitable drain Eye protection must be worn.
• If the system lets buy then the engineer will look for leaks on joints to establish the leak, then retested as above.
• All valves to be left in the open position or the system left filled with water as required.
• Clear the area and leave in a safe condition.

hazards. (SKY HOOK).

46. Site Inspection

47. Working at Height
We operate a simple hierarchy for managing & selecting
equipment for work at height.
a) avoid work at height where they can;
b) use work equipment or other measures to prevent falls where
they cannot avoid working at height; and
c) Where they cannot eliminate the risk of a fall, use work
equipment or other measures to minimise the distance and
consequences of a fall should one occur.

48. Working at Height
Line Managers as ‘Duty holders’ are required to ensure:
a) all work at height is properly planned and organised;
b) all work at height takes account of weather conditions that
could endanger health and safety;
c) those involved in work at height are trained and competent;
d) the place where work at height is done is safe;
e) equipment for work at height is appropriately inspected;
f) the risks from fragile surfaces are properly controlled; and
g) the risks from falling objects are properly controlled.
