About this session
Outage, Shutdown & Isolation Work is a 60-minute to three-hour ergonomics session for outage and isolation crews working to compressed timelines with heavy components and awkward access. It runs live online or in person.
Crews map handling, scaffold and trench demands across an outage, practice lifts that respect isolations and time pressure, and plan recovery around night peaks.
It supports, and doesn't replace, your isolation procedures, permits, lifting plans and required training. Ongoing pain or fatigue is worth discussing with occupational health or a doctor.
Crews leave with practical ways to protect their bodies and stay safe when the schedule is tight.
