| consignar el interruptor turn off the main power supply Explanation: I see what you mean about “consignar” here. This is clearly what is meant though. And since these are H&S procedures, I would be explicit about it in the English, as that’s the whole point of H&S right? See page 60 of the PDF at the second link below (“A User’s Guide to Conveyor Belt Safety” from Canada), where it states: "Subject to the provisions of section 186, before undertaking any maintenance, repair or unjamming work in a machine’s danger zone, the following safety precautions shall be taken: (1) turn the machine’s power supply switch to the off position;" Hope this helps :) Reference: http://tinyurl.com/7d98u4r Reference: http://www.irsst.qc.ca/media/documents/PubIRSST/RG-490.pdf |

Lock the switch with a key/padlock Explanation: I am sure you will be able to word this better, but this is the idea. The section's power supply should be turned off: "desconectar el tramo afectado". And the switch used for turning it on/off should be locked with a key/padlock in order to prevent anyone from accidentally turning it on again: "**consignar el interruptor** para evitar que se ponga en funcionamiento de forma accidental." You can find "consignación" used in context in the two references below. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2012-02-28 15:34:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The procedure is known as Lockout/tagout (locking it with a key/padlock and placing a tag indicating the equipment is out of service). So you could say "lock and tag the switch". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockout-tagout Reference: http://www.insht.es/InshtWeb/Contenidos/Documentacion/Fichas...
