Where workers are required or permitted to work on piping that may contain harmful substances or substances under pressure CorSafety. will develop written procedures to protect the workers from contact with those substances. Those site specific procedures developed must include:
- The installation of a blank that is appropriate for the proper pressure in the piping;
- The closing of two blocking valves installed in the piping and the opening of a bleed-off valve installed between the blocking valves;
- The installation of an approved safety device; or where the procedures are not reasonably practicable, any other procedures that are adequate to protect the health and safety of the workers.
- Part of our training program is to ensure that all workers are trained in piping isolation and will implement the procedures developed.
