Taking Site Safety Seriously
ENFININUM CASE STUDY
Parc Adfer is an Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) located in Deeside, North Wales.
The Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP) accepts 200,000 tonnes of residual waste a year to produce both electricity and heat.
The facility produces enough energy to power more than 45,000 homes and businesses.
David Cottis, Operations Manager, contacted Reece Safety in early 2021. He was organising the annual outage and, in light of the Covid-19 restrictions in place at the time, it was felt that the location of the existing permit office would make adhering to social distancing difficult. As the permit office was on the 5th floor David also felt that having an external permit office would save time. With approximately 100 additional contractors due on site, David contacted Reece Safety for details of the contents and availability of our Portable Permit Office.
The Portable Permit Office is a 24’ x 9’ vandal proof site office container, weighing 4000kg. It is delivered to site fully equipped with a range of lockout boxes , card safes , 200 brass padlocks , electrical , mechanical and valve lockout equipment making it ideal for site setup, re-fit or maintenance.
As well as the benefits of not requiring the contractors to go into the main site offices, with the additional deep cleaning that Covid-19 regulations would have required as a result, David commented that it was also useful to be able to organize the portable permit office well in advance of the outage and to know that everything was in place.
David commented that delivering and siting of the Portable Permit Office went smoothly and it was useful to have it on site a few days before the outage to allow the set up of PC’s and the printer. The permit office worked well and the inclusion of fifteen Type 2 lockout boxes, which come with one control lock and 7 secondary, was of particular benefit for this outage. So much so that David is now in the process of ordering some of these lockout boxes for the site permit office.
Overall David found the ordering, delivery and removal of the permit office worked smoothly and easily and he will be using the portable permit office again for future outages and would recommend it to anyone needing a temporary permit office on site.

What The Trainees Say...
Don’t just take our word for it.
Take a look at the amazing feedback from course attendees...
For me he presented well and there was plenty of interaction and questions during the session with a practical display and informative videos. A hard copy of the policy was shared, which was a nice touch.
The LOTOTO training at West Drayton was good and informative. It clearly highlighted the potential consequences of not following the correct procedures, which was very impactful. I appreciated that the session was straight to the point without being overloaded with unnecessary detail — it made the key messages easy to understand and retain. The trainer was knowledgeable, and the course duration felt appropriate. I left the session feeling confident in the LOTOTO procedures. Thanks again for organising.
In regard to the LOTOTO training the trainer was well knowledge provided good training had lots of equipment and locks to demonstrate the procedures the course length was good, and by the end of the course I felt confident that I could go and ask my manager to lock off equipment.
I thought the LOTOTO training was very well done, the trainer was very professional and made the course quite interesting and you could tell he knew what he was talking about. The practical demonstrations were on point and clearly showed you what can/could happen in a real life scenario.
I personally found the course to be very informative the trainer I found explained everything well and ultimately Hopefully everyone gained the knowledge to be able to start thinking about doing it yourself What impressed me the most was his commitment to put across the Importance of the safety issues that come with doing these kind of things For me personally I would not hesitate to use this particular trainer in the future as I thought he delevired it well Thank you for asking for feedback from us Suzanne
I personally thought that it came across very well. Got you thinking engaged everyone don’t think it could be done any better.
Very good session, which was very well explained for those who had never experience LOTOTO before. Also useful for myself, who has plenty of experience. To understand the subtle differences between Heidelberg's systems and those of Tarmac where I was before.
I found the course Very very hepful, felt like I learnt a lot about lototo and feel safer in the knowledge of locking off a machine now than what i did before the course
I felt the course worked well. The trainer very clearly knew his stuff and was able to engage the room and get us all involved, and the focus was on getting the attendees to not work on something that was unisolated. I feel confident but then I was confident before isolating equipment, so perhaps not the best judge of that.

The course was very enjoyable, very well delivered by the trainer, with plenty of practical aspects, it is a very useful refresher for more experienced persons along with others who are just starting out. The venue was great with a good facility. So overall, very good.
