Many testing companies and utilities across the country have incorporated these tools into the human performance toolkits of field personnel involved with substation commissioning and control room work.

MMC Safety Solutions provides human performance tools for control room environments that focus on preventing unintended operations and assist with isolation. Many testing companies and utilities across the country have incorporated these tools into the human performance toolkits of field personnel involved with substation commissioning and control room work.    

As research into the causes of unintended events in all walks of life increases, results indicate that a focus on Human Performance behaviors and techniques combined with the use of high quality and effective HP tools can be a major factor in significantly decreasing the likelihood of these unintended events as well as contributing greatly to improved safety and health, especially in electric utility environments. This is evidenced by the fact that most major utilities in the United States and the industrialized world now mandate the utilization of these HP tools anytime when working in their facilities.

Control Switch Cover

A human performance tool that covers and protects almost any make and model of control switch handle. These covers utilize magnets to adhere to metal surfaces. Covers mount flush and provide the needed security with ease of installation and removal. Control switch covers can be utilized to protect switches from inadvertent operation as both a physical barrier protecting from nearby human traffic and construction, as well as a guide to keep work focused on the correct target. 

FT-1 Guard

The FT-1 Switch Guard is designed to protect a standard ABB FT-1 test switch from being unintentionally closed or shorted to adjacent switches, with voltage present or not. These guards are made of 100% dielectric PLA and feature accessibility to test voltage on both the jaw and blade of every test switch through strategically placed holes, while still providing complete protection and safety. All guards feature an opening through the center so each one can be properly tagged and identified. These guards fit perfectly into each switch and are easily installed and removed.
