After completing ALRE maintenance, what is essential before resuming service?

• A. Remove all safety interlocks without verification.
• B. Confirm that all interlocks and clearances are satisfied before release.
• C. Power up the system to verify operation before inspection.
• D. Leave the equipment in maintenance mode and do nothing.

Answer: (A)

Safely resuming service after ALRE maintenance hinges on confirming that all safety interlocks and required clearances are satisfied before release. Interlocks exist to prevent hazardous movements and injuries; removing or bypassing them without proper verification is dangerous and not permitted. After maintenance, verify that every interlock is restored, all safety devices are in place, and clearances meet the required limits. Only after this verification should the system be authorized for release and power restored for operation. Powering up before inspection or leaving equipment in maintenance mode without completing the checks would bypass safety protections and delay or compromise a safe return to service.
