1. Isolate From Main Supply2. Remove Fuses3. Lock Out4. Test For Incoming Power
Only when absolutely necessary should any testing be performed with the power on. Use extreme care !
Never work on a powered or running unit alone!

Isolate from Main Supply
Isolate the compressor unit from the main power supply.

22 Electrical SafetyElectrical SafetyRemove Fuses
As an extra safety measure, remove fuses from the power supply to the compressor (and keep safely in your pocket).
Compressed Air SafetyCompressed Air Safety
22 Electrical SafetyElectrical SafetyLock Out….
Isolate the compressor’s power supply at the main board.
Cover and lock the isolation box to prevent someone inadvertently switching supply back on whilst work is in progress or the unit is unsafe to use.
It is advisable to use an Isolation Notice so people are aware that work is being carried out.
Compressed Air SafetyCompressed Air Safety
22 Electrical SafetyElectrical SafetyTest for Incoming Power….
Double check that the main supply terminals to the machine are not live before proceeding with any work.
You may be 100% sure that supply has been isolated, but mistakes can occur from time to time. Get into the habit of double checking that the machine is safe to work on as high voltages can kill. It’s not worth the risk !!!
