Cresent simplifies isolation schemes

The innovative software application can be installed on any Microsoft Windows machine, providing a simple to use, electronic solution that stores and saves isolation certificates and isolation tags, replacing a time-consuming and tedious handwritten process. IsoSafe allows businesses to carry on using their own isolation procedures and collects isolation data, which can be stored and re-used. It’s so easy to use that no training is needed.

Jim Land, CEO of Cresent says, "For many operators planning to change Control of Work system from either a paper-based or an ageing software system, data collection and migration are significant barriers. Many facilities do not have up to date P&IDs so managing a large volume of isolation point data electronically is a challenge, and in some cases, the challenge is so great that it prevents the Control of Work project from going ahead. We’ve developed IsoSafe^TM to help combat this problem".

IsoSafe has been built with simplicity in mind. The sleek, modern-looking application provides businesses with a solution that requires no training and mimics their current processes and procedures. 

Commercial director of Cresent Warren Thomson said: “The oil and gas industry is showing signs of stabilising as the oil price has been over $60 a barrel for 8 months. Now is the time for companies to fully tackle issues that have persisted through the downturn and find the right, effective and long-term solutions. IsoSafe^TM supports businesses by simplifying the collection of isolation data, which feedback shows is a major problem faced across industry”.
