Safe isolation saves lives

This September Kewtech highlights the importance of following the correct Safe Isolation procedure when working on or near electrical equipment, a critical safety process which has been researched to be widely underperformed across our industry putting lives at risk.

Below you’ll find some useful information to help you work safely as well as a special offer on a free lock off kit.

IT’S THE LAW!

By law we must follow correct safe isolation procedure for safe working on electrical systems and equipment. As well as serious injury and death, failure to safely isolate could also result in substantial fines and even lengthy prison sentences for employees, managers, directors and companies. 

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

Employers cannot and should not assume that employees have the right equipment. Regular inspections of equipment should be carried out. It’s the responsibility of management to ensure correct supervision and procedures are in place.

Beware of voltage indicators with removable tips as these do not comply with GS38 once removed and pose significant danger to the user.

WHAT EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED?

All Kewtech safe isolation kits come complete with a dedicated two pole voltage tester, a high output proving unit in accordance with correct procedure, a KEWLOK locking off device with warning labels, and all neatly housed in a carry case that allows access to the proving unit without the need to remove it.

Importantly, for your safety, all Kewtech two-pole testers are designed with permanent GS38 compliant tips and will indicate the presence of voltage even if the batteries go flat as an added failsafe.
