completionof maintenance activitiesName Connor PerkinsDate 25 03 20181 Describe the health and safety requirements of the area in which the handover is to take place and the responsibility they place on them Answer The health and safety requirements of the area are that when handover is taking place it must be free from all hazards and risks as they have the potential to cause harm Any work done or equipment must be following the correct regulations so it is operating safely such as BS7671 if it is an electrical instillation It is a high amount of responsibility as ifthe area is not safe during and after the handover period and this causes injury consequently the responsibility is placed on you when handing over to ensure the work has been completed and the area can function safely when handed back into production 2 Describe the isolation and lock off procedure or permit to work procedure that applies to the equipment being maintained Answer The isolation and lock off procedure is to ensure that people do not come into contact with moving equipment live electrical circuits or stored energy from electricity pneumatics hydraulics or gravity The procedure is to physically isolate the source of energy and applying some form of personal lock to ensure that equipment is not able to be re energised When electrical isolators are switched to the off position holes line up which can be locked with a personal padlock This ensures that unless the padlock is removed the equipment cannot be switched back on and re energised Other forms of energy can be locked off by applying valve and tap isolators You should also apply a tag to your lock so everybody in the area knows who has isolated the equipment and what work is being completed A permit to work is a formal written safe system of work to control potentially hazardous activities detailing the work to be done and the precautions to be taken such as the points of isolation Permits should be issued checked and signed off as being completedby someone competent to do so and who is not involved in undertaking the work 3 Describe the specific health and safety precautions to be applied during the handoverprocedure and their effects on others Answer The health and safety procedures to be applied to the handover procedure are to ensure that the work is completed free form all risks and hazards any equipment that is used follow the Provision and Use of Work Equipment regulations the correct isolation procedure is in place and any stored energy in the equipment was released in order to prevent any hazards and that all permits to work have been completed for any tasks that were required which have been signed off by an authorised and competent person also the work needs to follow all regulations for what type of work has been completed such as wiringregulations or COSHH regulations It affects everybody in the area because if the health andsafety precautions aren t met in the handover procedure this can create hazards in the workplace which have potential to cause injury to yourself and others 4 Explain the importance of wearing protective clothing and other appropriate

it is important to wear protective clothing and safety equipment whilst operating during the handover period bas it is the last form of defence against any risks that may be involved because there may be a fault or failure within the equipment directly during or after handover as it is going to be restarted so you are always more prone to risks that can cause injury at this point therefore the protective clothing is in place as a control measure to protectagainst these 5 Describe the checking process to be followed before handing over the equipment such as are the safety and quality systems operable does the equipment function tospecification Answer You should check the equipment is ready to operate by carrying out the specific checks firstly checking if the maintenance or instillation activity has been completed and theequipment functions correctly to the standards required the safety systems are functioning correctly so the machine is safe to use any waste materials and warning barriers have been removed any add on systems are connected and operating and lastly that any other involved in using the equipment are aware that the equipment is about to be used 6 Explain the
