to work simultaneously on the same equipment in order to create
the opportunity for all individuals to apply their personal lock and
tag on that lockbox and in that way individually control the keys
within that box.
Other LOTO tools include lockout stations, cables, chains, multi-
lock hasps and specific LOTO aids to help placing a lock and tag at
some locations.
5.8 Isolation Methodologies
5.8.1 Isolation: a set of measures taken to make and maintain safe a process,
an electrical or mechanical facility or an item of equipment, such that
energization of the equipment is not possible and energy/power cannot
re-circulate in it without deliberate action by all the authorized persons.
5.8.2 Mechanical Isolation is usually achieved by such means as blinding or
blanking, removal of pipe sections or spool pieces, double block and
bleed, blocking/ disconnecting all mechanical linkages. Energy sources
include electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic (air), chemical,
thermal, radioactive, gravity…
Rev. # ( 0 ) Date Mar, 2021

Page 22 of 35
5.8.3 Electrical Isolation

Key Consideration: Electrical equipment shall be considered to be
energized (i.e. live) until proven de-energized.
5.8.3.1 Steps in Isolating and Making Safe, the following key steps shall
be applied when making safe electrical installations:
a) Identify
b) Isolate
c) Secure
d) Discharge (If Applicable)
e) Test
5.8.3.2 Only the electrical authorized person as per SHEM-8.05 shall
perform the electrical isolation.
5.8.4 Mechanical Isolation
5.8.4.1 Choice of the process Isolation
The following points are analyzed before choosing the type of
process isolation:
a) Information on the line and its content (pressure, inventory,
type of product);
b) History of passing valves;
c) Volume or inventory freed if the isolation barrier fails;
d) Presence of natural ventilation or confinement;
e) Number of exposed persons needed to perform the isolation;
f) Risks inherent in implementing the isolation, such as
breaking containment, critical lift, passing valves, etc.
5.8.4.2 The main isolation categories applicable to process isolations
are listed below in decreasing order of isolation integrity level:
a) Physical disconnection (such as the removal of a removable
spool piece);
b) Blinding/blanking/spading (spade, blind or plug, spectacle
blind);
c) Double block and bleed;
d) Double block;
e) Single block (and bleed).
5.8.5 Physical Disconnection
Rev. # ( 0 ) Date Mar, 2021

out/Tag-out (LOTO)
Page 23 of 35
A piece of pipe (generally a removable spool piece) is removed from the

piping and a blinding device (usually a blind) is installed on the pressure
side, downstream or at the closest relief valve to wear the work is being
performed as well as the isolated process side. The separation
equipment has the same nominal characteristics as the piping.
On the isolated side of the system, blinds can be used to protect the
ends of isolated lines, if no ventilation of the system is required (see
Figure1) for an example). Rags are not to be used as protection because
they do not form an actual protection, can be forgotten and clog the
piping (valves and filters) when it is brought back into service.
Physical disconnection can be used for long-lasting isolations with any
type of fluids. This type of isolation is the preferred solution for vessel
and tank entry and all types of hot work. Hot Work activity requires that
the lines shall be blanked/blinded off or spaded on the process side of
the work.
Figure 1: Process isolation by physical disconnection in combination with double block and bleed
Figure 2: Process isolation by physical disconnection in combination with single block and bleed
5.8.5.1 Blinding/Blanking/Spading
Rev. # ( 0 ) Date Mar, 2021

out/Tag-out (LOTO)
Page 24 of 35
Spading consists in installing a blinding device (spade or

equivalent, i.e. blind or plug, spectacle blind or plate) as closely
as possible to the equipment to be isolated (see Figure 2 for
examples). Blind selection to be as per Car seals& Blinds
procedure (SHEM 7.05).
A spade is an isolation device with a handle approximately 5 cm
(2 inches) or more that extends beyond the flange (see Figure 2
below). The characteristics of the spades could be marked /
stamped on the handle to identify the intended purpose of this
tool.
Blinding/Blanking/Spading can be used for a long-lasting
isolation with any type of fluid, for vessel and tank entry and for
all types of naked flame hot work when physical disconnection is
not possible.
The blinds/blanks/spades are installed as close as possible to
the equipment to be isolated and on each of its lines,
(instrument drain and venting lines included).
Special consideration is given to any change in piping class
when choosing the position of the blinds//blanks/spades, as
wrongly positioned blinds/blanks/spades can cause
overpressure in a system with a lower test pressure.
Figure 3 Examples of blinding devices (Blind, Spade and Spectacle Blind) and
the visible distinction between a spade and a spacer (a Spacer as shown above
is clearly NOT a blinding device). A Spade (or slip plate) and a Spectacle Blind
(or spectacle plate) applied correctly will form a positive barrier across the bore
of a pipe and are held between flanges of the pipe.

CAUTION: Keep in mind that historically the “identification

holes” to distinguish between the various types as shown above
can have a different meaning at different sites around the Globe.
Please use the correct pictures relevant to your site in your local
program (e.g., sometimes “orifices” are indicated with one hole
as well).
Only isolation valves are considered as appropriate means of
isolation. On actuated isolation valves, the energy supply (air,
gas, hydraulic fluid or electrical cable) has to be disconnected as
per the affiliate isolation procedure.
5.8.5.2 Double Block (Isolation) and Bleed
Double block and bleed isolation (as shown in Figure 3) is
provided by shutting two isolation valves and opening a valve
(bleed (drain, vent)) between them. The theory is that any
leakage past the upstream valve will come out via the bleed
(drain, vent) instead of leaking through to the downstream valve
(Control valves, trip valves or non-return valves are not isolation
valves). A potential risk is blockage of the bleed valve where (an
unobserved) pressure build up can occur and possibly leak
through to the second isolation valve and potentially into the
isolated process side.
Figure 4: Process isolation by a spade in combination with double block and bleed.
5.8.5.3 Double Block:
If double block with bleed isolation is not possible, double block
isolation only could be acceptable, with the required
precautions, if backed by the risk assessment. Keep in mind that
this might not give a true indication if a full successful isolation
has been made. SAFER (SHEM-02) process may be necessary to
identify and mitigate the remaining risk.
5.8.5.4 Single block (Isolation)
Rev. # ( 0 ) Date Mar, 2021

out/Tag-out (LOTO)
Page 26 of 35
A single block isolation is used only when there is no possible

alternative and the risk is acceptable, and is accompanied by
compensatory measures (see figure 4 for an example). The leak-
tightness of the single-valve isolation is demonstrated.
Note: For any Confined Space Entry Work, a blind/blank/spade

isolation device shall be used as a minimum for all connected
piping

5.9 Line breaking

Line breaking is the intentional opening of a pipe, line, or other part of a process
that contains or has contained material capable of causing injury by virtue of
temperature, pressure or chemical properties to people and/or the
environment. This line breaking can be necessary for instance if blockages
prevent the normal process of draining, flushing, relieving such lines, pipes or
other process parts. In practice, this activity requires great caution to reduce the
risk of people encountering hazardous energy and/or to prevent environmental
damage. In order for this activity to be done safely, a Hazard Assessment and
control form in Work Permit (SHEM-08.10) shall be made by knowledgeable
persons with all necessary steps as indicated below shall be
considered/documented:
5.9.1 During the Hazard Assessment and Control form in Work Permits
(SHEM-08.10) developing shall include at least two person who fully
understands the applicable process and the hazards involved.
5.9.2 The reason for the line break.
5.9.3 Include the relevant LOTO Specific Procedure(s) as much as possible to
try to achieve a zero-energy state.
5.9.4 Methods to barricade the area to reduce the exposure potential while
the system is (being) opened.
5.9.5 Consider the immediate SDS control measures if something might go
wrong.
5.9.6 Test safety showers in the area and where possible have additional
running water available at the break site.
5.9.7 Whenever conditions change from the original plan, all persons
involved with the Line Break shall stop and reassess the risk.
5.9.8 Explanation of any remaining risks to the applicable persons
performing the actual line break task in the field prior to starting the
work.
5.9.9 Obtain and wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
and ensure its condition is suitable for use.
5.9.10 Operation Supervisor to be present at first break.
5.9.11 Work out of the line of fire. Use a spray screen if necessary. Break the
flange (if applicable) away from your body by slackening the far side of
the joint first.
5.9.12 Beware of the sudden release of gases or liquids once the line is
broken.
5.9.13 Plan to collect or control any residual liquid/product and know how to
dispose of it correctly and safely.
5.9.14 Clean up any spillage immediately.
5.9.15 All isolated points / locations to be positively identified and verified by
all the stockholders
5.9.16 Assign a qualified operator to be standby during line break to act in
case of emergency with availability of the LOTO box and owner lock
keys in working area.
