A remote isolation system (10) for a plant comprising equipment (20) energisable by an energy source (30), a control system (50,260) enabling automated isolation of said equipment (20) from said energy source (30) to an 5 isolated state when authorised by the control system (50,260), wherein said control system (50,260) enables automated isolation through a wireless communications network, preferably a network using an open communications protocol. A remote isolation station (12,14) may be included within the remote isolation system (10) to enable isolation requests to be made of the control 10 system (50,260). Such a remote isolation station (12,14) may be powered independently of the equipment, preferably by an alternative energy source such as solar energy. m C) * NN 0n 0 U'U 0- 0 Coo o o oI C)' 4--0 0') 4-0 C) |
