Occupational & Operational Safety
The Occupational & Operational Safety module
offers maximum safety for maintenance measures with the least possible effort.
Your Benefits
The Task
The main objective of maintenance is ensuring
the safety, availability, reliability and operability
of a plant with as little effort as possible. Laws,
provisions, standards and regulations obligate
enterprises to ensure their employees’ safety.
A grave or even fatal accident? A nightmare
– not just from a legal point of view.
■ Minimized risk
of industrial accidents
■ Proof of consistent
compliance with laws,
provisions and regulations
■ Reduced administrative
effort
The system provides maximum safety with
the least possible administrative effort. It is
available as state-of-the art Web-Application
and also in a traditional Client/Server
configuration.
Avoid maintenance-related personal injury and damage to the
plant with the Plant Management Occupational & Operational
Safety module.
Our Solution
The Occupational and Operational Safety
module provides support for planning and
executing the required tag-outs and safety
precautions before potentially dangerous
work can begin. The risk of industrial accidents involving personal injury of any kind
is significantly minimized due to consistent
planning. Audit-proof documentation shows
the execution of all required safety measures.
All aspects of
■ mechanical and electrical isolation processes
and reversal of these
■ other safety measures (e.g. fire protection,
handling of hazardous and noxious materials
and substances) are covered.

Functional overview
Tag-out (isolation) process
To carry out work on process-related or
electrical plant items that involves potential danger to persons, the environment
or the plant, such plant items need to
be isolated, i.e. disconnected from the
process. Some of the functions provided
by the isolation program:
■ Definition of an isolation process
including description of the plant
section, operating condition and
the period to perform the work
■ List of all plant parts that need to be
tagged out (mechanically/ electrically)
■ Assignment of the work to be
completed during the respective
isolation process
■ Coordination of the tag-out
schedule and the work schedule
■ Tag-out list specifying individual
switching operations and measures
■ Untagging list specifying the required
switching operations and measures
■ If required: specification of switching
operations for the trial run
■ Check for conflicts with
other isolation processes
■ Tracking the workflow
of an isolation process
■ Printout of isolation lists and tags
Tag-out overview
The program shows all isolation measures
currently active and thus also provides
a quick overview to the shift.

This can be used as a quality-assured
template for certain isolation processes
that are used repeatedly. Its structure
and contents correspond to a regular
isolation process, but no concrete work
is assigned and no dates are entered.
It can be created by simply duplicating
an isolation process that has already
been carried out.
Safety precautions
Particularly hazardous work, involving
dangers such as explosion, fire, radiation,
poisoning or suffocation, mandates careful planning, execution and maintenance
of the requisite safety precautions.
Whether such precautions are required
and what these precautions are can be
specified when planning maintenance

work with the Maintenance Management
module. In addition, the workflow of
the safety precaution is tracked and
documented.
Work permit and approval program
Before carrying out maintenance work,
the required safety precautions need
to be registered in the system in the
form of work permit slips, regardless
of whether they are required before,
during or after the work.
Common safety precautions include
precautions for confined-space entry,
hot work and work with hazardous
materials.
Permit slips can be planned for any work
order item. Safety precautions frequently
used in the same manner may be copied
for simple and convenient reuse.
