•4,405 workers died in 2013 because of
work-related injuries
• These accidents MAY have been avoided if a worker had
used Stop Work Authority
(SWA)
Imminent danger is any condition, activity, or practice in the workplace that could cause
1. Death or serious physical harm
2. Significant environmental harm
PPT-SM-SWA 2015 4
SWA is an administrative control
PPT-SM-SWA 2015 5
It is a tool you can use to
protect yourself and
your coworkers from dangerous job situations
If you see a coworker doing something that could cause them
to be killed or seriously injured, you must use your
SWA to keep your coworker (and yourself!) safe
PPT-SM-SWA 2015 6
When you use your SWA, give constructive feedback
PPT-SM-SWA 2015 8
Explain why the job
needs to be stoppedand how to correct it
Managers (supervisors, foremen, competent workers, etc.)
must support workers in using SWA
PPT-SM-SWA 2015 10
If someone tells you to stop work, you need to stop the job
immediately
Remember, your coworkers are trying to help keep you safe, not punish you
PPT-SM-SWA 2015 12
Some situations where you should use your SWA include
•Working at heights without fall protection
•Performing hot work near ignitable materials
• LOTO violations
•Standing under a lifted load
PPT-SM-SWA 2015 13
After work is stopped and your supervisor or the
competent person on the jobsite has been notified, affected
workers should talk about the situation and come to
an agreement on the stop work action
PPT-SM-SWA 2015 15
The affected area will be reopened for work by your supervisor or the designated competent worker
PPT-SM-SWA 2015 17
All affected workers will be
told what corrective actions were taken
before work begins again
All SWA interventions should be talked about at safety meetings
PPT-SM-SWA 2015 18
You should go over what
happened, why SWA was used,
and how similar dangerous situations can
be avoided
Remember, when you think,
“I shouldn’t tell someone what to do” or
“I’m sure they know what they’re doing, who am I to tell them to stop,”
you could be saving their life by speaking up and using your SWA
