Application
The SLS is an isolation system designed to provide disconnection and 
isolation. This means that the SLS provides the isolation necessary for work on 
machine elements electrically powered through the SLS and for work on the 
electrical equipment powered by SLS. However, the forgoing speaks to the 
capability of the SLS, not necessarily its use as assigned by management for a 
given purpose.
Since the SLS illuminates the SAFE light, it is imperative that the SLS be 
applied only where it disables all forms of energy and after a risk analysis has 
been performed.
