procedures.
2) Before the start of any testing, it shall be confirmed that all power supplies to the system have been isolated or that
they are in a known condition. The commissioning engineer is responsible for the safety of those personnel working
on the system. Check for the presence of harmful electrical or mechanical potential energy before starting work.
3) Confined or enclosed space entry procedures (Permit to Work) are to be reviewed and adhered to by all personnel
involved where applicable.
4) Project Lockout/Tag-out (LOTO) must be adhered to.
5) Task Safety Precaution Table

Task Safety Precautions

System Walk-down  Ensure that area is adequately lighted for safe
access
 Enforce good housekeeping
 Cordon off the test boundary points with
barrier tape and Test in Progress signs.
Commissioning team members to restrict
