Who is responsible?

Employers often assume that, once issued, engineers have the right equipment to practice Safe isolation. However with the passage of time and with regular use, this equipment may get lost or broken. It is an engineers responsibility to report loses and breakages and where necessary ask for replacements for his/her own safety.

It is the responsibility of management to conduct regular audits to ensure correct equipment levels.
