We know that SwitChek is costly to implement. However, if you decide that proof of isolation is important to you and your company, manual testing and Visible Break Isolator (VBI) approaches are generally more expensive. Our suggestion is that you start by identifying the isolation switches in your plant that present the most risk to personnel. That is, the switches that: • Are used to frequently isolate plant for maintenance, cleaning or inspection access, and switches that …. • Isolate equipment that people climb into or major portions of their body are inserted into. That is, it has the potential to seriously injure or kill. Start with providing a solution for these equipment items first. Alternatively, you risk becoming overwhelmed by the task at hand and doing nothing!
