ONSHORE & OFFSHORE OIL & GAS - Hoffmann Group

Lockout Tagout is the best industry practice to securely isolate hazardous energy. Within the Oil & Gas industry, the necessity to effectively utilize LOTO procedures & equipment is more important than ever. Every action when manually handling equipment upon an offshore or onshore rig is strictly governed to the highest level of safety and requires high quality equipment and processes to keep operatives and workers safe from injury or worse.

Gibb Safety & Survival have partnered with specialists to ensure an expert supply into the industry. Providing a wide range, yet specific catalogue of Lockout Tagout Equipment. Each LOTO kit & product have been designed and chosen to provide the required solutions for all requirements and needs when actively controlling Oil & Gas energy sources. The process and procedure to implement each task is only as effective as the equipment used to fulfil & vice versa. Highlighting the need for specialists to assist in the process from survey to implementation.

Below shows a 10 step LOTOTO process which can be used to keep everyone safe.

The environmental conditions can often be extremely harsh. Premises and equipment are routinely exposed to highly corrosive, chemical, explosive, and salt air conditions. Longer term shuts, complex isolations, and turnarounds, all mean LOTO (Lockout-Tagout) equipment is under these extreme conditions for longer periods of time.

Gibb Safety have ensured that the highest quality and most durable equipment choices for these harsh environments, including ATEX areas, are available as standard.
