name should be written.
x The equipment to be isolated along with associated tag number will then be
required.
x The associated PTW number(s) must be referenced on the Isolation Certificate.
This allows match up and clear visibility of isolation with associated work scope.
x If the isolation is being carried across to a follow-on PTW (e.g. the permit validity
period has expired but work is not complete, restarting work within an EPI
boundary) then this new PTW number will be entered.
x A brief description of the reason why isolation is required for the work to be
carried out will then be entered or ‘mechanical isolation to allow spades to be
inserted for confined space entry into vessel’. This description allows the
Isolating Authority to have an overview of why the isolation is required.
x The associated documents (P&IDs, drawing, etc.)
x The Requester will then enter his name, Sub contractor/department and sign and
date to apply for isolation.
x The Isolation Certificate will then be handed to an authorized Isolating Authority
for that piece of equipment.
Details of isolation
The Isolating Authority will then plan the isolation using P&IDs and if necessary line-walk
the process to ensure the P&ID’s are accurate. The Isolating Authority is to list and
mark-up on P&ID all points of isolation, indicating whether a valve is to be opened or
closed, and the location of all points of spade/blank isolation if necessary.
The Isolation Certificate will be populated giving a full description of the planned
isolation. The tag number of each isolation point or line number from the P&ID will be
recorded.
A Process/Mechanical Isolation Continuation Certificate is provided in appendix if there
is not enough room on the Certificate.
The Issuing Authority shall double check the marked up P&ID along with the isolation
details on the Isolation Certificate for robustness for the planned work.
Isolation
Once the isolation has been planned and the associated PTW has been approved,
authorization to isolate will be given by the Issuing Authority by signing of the Certificate.
Each isolation requires an isolation tag to be attached. These are individually numbered
and the Isolating Authority shall develop isolation tags and enter the tag number. When
the isolations are complete, the Isolating Authority is to sign confirming that the
equipment has been isolated and the isolations are holding. The Isolating Authority is
responsible for ensuring that spade tags are written and secured to spade/blanked
disjointed isolation points. Prior to releasing the isolation for work commencement, the
Area Authority must verify the planned isolation has been correctly applied, then sign
and date to confirm that the equipment can be worked upon.
A copy of the certificate is then attached to a copy of the permit for display at the Permit
Issue Point .Another copy is attached to the worksite copy of the permit for display at the
worksite.

Important Notes:
x If bleeding off, draining down, venting or any other release of hydrocarbon to
atmosphere is required this must be completed and verified before an Isolation
Certificate is raised. Any conflicting activity must be suspended prior to bleeding off,
draining down, venting or any other release of hydrocarbon to atmosphere.
x If breaking of containment is required to install blinds/spades as part of the isolation,
a dedicated permit is to be raised to cover this specific activity.
De-isolation
Except where a test is required to confirm satisfactory completion of the work covered by
the Permit (De-isolation for Test Certificate to be used), de-isolation is not to take place
until it has been certified that the work is sufficiently completed to allow de-isolation. This
is done by completing the Isolation Certificate (typically by the Performing or Area
Authority), and after the Permit has been returned by the Performing Authority to the
Area Authority by signing the Permit.
The Area Authority indicates the PTW if the isolations can now be removed. The Issuing
Authority checks that no other permits are opened within the same isolation boundary,
and confirms if isolation(s) can be removed by signing the Isolation Certificate to
authorise the de-isolation.
The Isolating Authority may then remove the valve isolation tags and de-isolate the
valves.
At de-isolation, the Isolating Authority is to list all points of de-isolation indicating removal
of spades/blanks and reinstatement of valves is necessary. On completion of de-
isolation, the Isolating Authority then signs.
Finally the Area Authority signs to confirm isolation has been removed and the
equipment can be brought back into service, provided the PTW has been closed-out by
the Issuing Authority.
Important Notes:
If the de-isolation requires removal of blinds/spades, it will be covered by a dedicated
Permit to Work, specific to this activity. The Permit used to install the blinds/spades can
be re-accepted and re-authorised providing it remains within the validity period. If not, a
new Permit must be applied for before breaking of containment commences.
x When all blind/spade de-isolations are completed and the Isolating Authority is
satisfied that de-isolation is complete and the disturbed flanges have been pressure
tested, the specific permit to remove the blinds/spades can be closed-out.

The worksite and Permit Issue Point isolation certificate(s) are to be placed in the EPI
slot in the permit rack. The Area Authority is to check to ensure all isolations and tags
remain in place.
When a work will restart within the EPI boundary, a new permit shall be raised. The
copies of the original isolation certificate will be recovered from the EPI slot of the permit
rack and the certificate will be reauthorize by the Issuing Authority, taking off the EPI by
filling in (EPI OFF) of the certificate.
The number of the new permit will be entered, as well as the Issuing Authority name,
signature, time and the date when the EPI has been removed. The Issuing Authority
then attaches the certificate to the new permit, and work may proceed once the permit
has been issued, accepted and authorised.
Application
The Requester (it can be for e.g. the Performing Authority or Issuing Authority) will
complete the initial overview of why the isolation is required. This will require mentioning
in the certificate
x Location of the equipment to be worked on, along with the installation or site name
should be filled in.
x The equipment to be isolated along with associated tag number will then be
required.
x The associated PTW number(s) must be referenced on the Isolation Certificate. This
allows match up and clear visibility of isolation with associated work scope.
x If the isolation is being carried across to a follow-on PTW (e.g. the permit validity
period has expired but work is not complete, restarting work within an EPI boundary)
then this new PTW number will be entered.
x A brief description of the reason why isolation is required for the work to be carried
out will then be entered. This description allows the Isolating Authority to have an
overview of why the isolation is required.
x The associated documents (Single Line Diagram, Loop Drawing, etc.)
x The Requester will then enter his name, contractor/department and sign and date to
apply for isolation.
x The Isolation Certificate will then be handed to an authorized Isolating Authority for
that piece of equipment.

Details of isolation
The Isolation Certificate will be populated giving a full description of the planned
isolation.
The Isolating Authority will then plan the isolation. The Isolating Authority is to list:
x All points of isolation with a unique identification number.
x The electrical equipment ID number.
x The isolation point together with the location at which the caution notice/padlock
will be placed.
x The Isolation method (e.g. removal of main fuses or racking out breaker)
x A tick in the safety padlock box as required
x A tick in the Lockout Box as required
x A tick in the fuse removal box as required.
x Additionally, a section is available to record ‘Additional Precautions’. This is
present to record such facts as a Limitation of Access being required due to
close proximity of live conductors, etc., which cannot be isolated easily, and not
necessarily being required to be isolated for the specific work task.
The Issuing Authority shall double check the isolation details on the Isolation
certificate for robustness for the planned work. For electrical isolations the
Isolation Authority must be an Authorized Electrical Person
Isolation
Once the isolation has been planned and the associated PTW has been issued,
authorization to isolate will be given by the Issuing Authority by signing the
Certificate.
The person undertaking the isolation should be the same person that identified the
requirements.
The Isolating Authority shall enter:
x The unique identification number of the safety padlock used to secure the
isolation(s)
x The lockout box number in which the key(s) for the safety padlock(s) are held
x The location of any fuses removed during isolation (normally either inside the
cubicle, or if small, within the lockout box)
Once the above information has been provided and the isolation has been carried
out, the requisite shall be completed by the electrical person who carried out the
isolation.
A copy of the certificate is then attached to a copy of the permit for display at the
Permit Issue Point.
Another copy is attached to the worksite copy of the permit for display at the
worksite.
It is recommended that a 3rd copy is retained by the electrical personnel.
Prior to releasing the isolation for work commencement, the Area Authority must
verify the planned isolation has been correctly applied, then sign and date Box 4c to
confirm that the equipment can be worked upon.

Certificate details precautions that need to be taken to minimize the risk to lift or
other equipment and to ensure that access and emergency escape routes are kept
clear at all times.
5.3.7 Safety Critical Defeat Certificate:
Safety System Defeat Certificates should be used when Safety Equipment, Element
or system are either being defeated by inhibit, bypass, override or by linking out the
system during the commissioning activity or in brown field. Since safety systems are
critical to maintain the integrity of the site it is vitally important that when systems are
negated either for work, or due to systems being defective, that appropriate controls
are put in place to ensure mitigations are applied to ensure risks remain as low as
reasonably practicable during the normal running of the site.
A full range of systems require a Safety System Defeat Certificate that are tagged as
Safety Critical Elements or Systems.
When a system is required to be defeated, a ’Safety Systems Defeat Certificate’ will
be developed to gain approval and authorization prior to the system being negated.
Safety System Defeat Certificate has to be used in conjunction with the Defeat
Register of the Control Room.
Safety System Defeat certificate is attached to a PTW, however where no work
controlled by a permit is necessary (e.g. defective gas detector to be inhibited) then
the Safety System Defeat Certificate may be used as a stand-alone document. In
this case, the issuance from the issuing Authority shall be obtained on the
Certificate.
