Class C  Erection/ Removal of scaffolding  Insulation  Painting; brush  Housekeeping  Routine Instrument repairs  Machine monitoring 30. Steps or preparation for confine space? Ans.  Equipment Shutdown  Isolation (Lock, Tag, Clear & Try)  SINGLE BLOCK VALVE An isolation method for routine maintenance activities and which is least desirable process for use in hydrocarbon service. (e.g. Changing a gauge or sock filter, temporary isolation while a blind is being installed or cleaning of inline strainers).  DOUBLE BLOCK AND BLEED (DBB) An isolation method for locking and tagging two consecutive valves on the same line with a drain valve installed and open for bleeding. (e.g. Removing a control valve).  DISCONNECTION / PHYSICAL ISOLATION OR SEPARATION / REMOVAL A less frequent isolation method for long term maintenance activities by physically removing a piece of equipment from the system. (e.g. Remove a spool from a pipeline).  BLINDING / BLANKING An absolute closure of a pipeline or duct, by fastening across its bore with a solid plate or cap which extends to the outer edge of the flange at which it’s attached and capable of withstanding the maximum upstream pressure. (e.g. Blind Flange, Slip Blind, Spectacle Blind, Stand-off Blind, Plumbers Plug & Hammer Blind).  PHYSICAL RESTRAINT / CHAIN VALVES An isolation method by physically restraining, blocking or securing the movement of the equipment. (e.g. Disconnect belt, and chain drives and mechanical linkages on shaft-driven equipment, securing mechanical moving parts within a confined space with latches, chains, chocks, blocks or other devices. Pin a fly wheel from moving; secure a fan blade from moving).

ELECTRICAL ISOLATION (Qualified Electricians) An isolation method to de-energised or physically turn off and disconnect machinery or equipment from the energy source by a competent and qualified personnel. (e.g. Open breakers, Remove fuses & Disconnect wiring).  LOCKOUT & TAGOUT (LOTO) A method to safe guards the employees from the unexpected energization or startup of machinery and equipment. (e.g. Install approved and identifiable lock and tag by every individual working on the equipment). De-pressurize / De-energize Decontamination  Draining  Flushing  Cleaning  Purging (Water Washing, Steaming, Nitrogen) Ventilation (Ventury, Exhaust Fan, Ventilator / Air Mover) Gas Test Maintenance Activities 
