Why are we here?

The company requires the evaluation of hazardous,Non routine jobs for which there are no Safe Task Proceduresor approved Task Safety Plans.

Certain tasks always require that a Safe Permit to Work be issued by a qualified individual. In our case the Appointed Person

Precautions Always Required:

The objective of the Safe Permit to Work system is toidentify hazards associated with a non routine job, andto develop precautions required to control each hazardidentified.

12

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to Work

Let’s begin with alook at the hazardsassociated withspecific jobs, andexamine how Safe Permits to Work can help to preventthem from causingdamage or injury.

Risk Assessments

Method Statements

Control Documents

13

Something with the Potential

For Causing Harm (ie Injury, Damage)

Risk Assessment. What is a hazard?

14

Risk Assessment. What is likelihood or probability?

The likelihood that the harm from the particular hazard is

realised.

ie AN EXPRESSION OF POSSIBLE LOSS IN TERMS OF SEVERITY AND PROBABILITY

15

Method StatementsMethod Statements

• ‘Generic’ statements can be used so long as they are modified to be specific

• Hand written or hand amended is perfectly satisfactory

• They should be job specific to the job in hand

16

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to WorkExamples of tasks requiring permits are:

1. Hot Work - the use of open flame, oxyacetylene burning, tar kettles, etc...., and the use of portable spark or heat producing equipment in flammable storage or handling areas.2. High Voltage work.3. Confined Space Entry4. Excavations5. Hilti Guns.6. Whenever required by existing company or contractor procedures or required in the contractor’s Project Safety Plan.7. Use of internal combustion engines, or vehicles with internal combustion engines inside company buildings.8. Use of company owned equipment, such as personnel lifts, fork trucks, vehicles, etc., by employees of a contractor.

This list is not exhaustive!

17

Safe Permits to Work Safe Permits to Work Excavations can result in:

head Injuries from materialsfalling from overhead surfaces,

rupture of high pressure hydrauliclines used on backhoes, shovels,and drills.

excessive noise from concretebreaking and cutting equipment,

and collapse of excavation walls and piles due to poorly secured soil, suddenweather changes, or other factors.

Permits are written to ensure that necessary equipment is present and ingood working order.

18

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to WorkExcavations :

Poorly planned excavations can result in damage to underground services, such aselectrical lines, natural gas lines, watersewers and drains.

The consequence of damaged utility servicesis often complete shutdown of operationsresulting in major business losses.

Permits are written to protect the employee and prevent damage to underground equipment and services.

19

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to Work

Excavations may expose hazardous materials, which have leaked and arecontaminating the soil.

Permits ensure that procedures to protect workers from exposure to toxic substances have been identified and for the protection of the environment.

20

Safe Permits to Work Safe Permits to Work

Use of Hilti Type Guns.

Permits are issued to ensureprocedures are followed thatprevent injury to users and fellow employees.

21

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to WorkInternal combustion engines produce poisonous gasessuch as carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen.

Permits ensure that procedures are followed that will prevent equipment emissions from contaminating air inside buildings and confined spaces.

22

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to Work

Unauthorized use of companyequipment can result in lostproduction and injury to untrainedoperators.

Permits prevent company equipmentfrom being taken by contractorswithout the permission of management,and require verification of equipment Operator training.

23

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to Work

Work which ordinarily does not require safe work permits may be included at the discretion of the :

The Appointed Person.Safety Representative.The Contractor.

24

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to Work

Following are examples of situations which may requirediscretionary safe work permits.

There could be many others:

25

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to Work

Movement oflarge pieces of equipment,especially while other personnelare working nearby, can resultin employee injury.

Permits may be issued to ensurethe use of procedures that willprevent employee injury from falling material, or being struck by equipment. (LOLER Regulations)

26

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to Work

Abandoned tanks, pipe lines,drums, and vessels may containhazardous vapors and gases.

Permits may be issued to preventtoxic or corrosive exposures to workerswhen working on abandonedequipment, complementing hot workand confined space permits.

?

27

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to Work

Many construction processescreate noise levels high enoughto cause hearing loss.

Permit requirements may be issuedto reduce noise to acceptable limits,or to provide both construction andother employees with requiredhearing protection.

28

Safe Permits to WorkSafe Permits to Work

Boilers, high pressurevessels, tanks, etccan undergo sudden failureresulting in disastrousconsequences.

Permits may be issued requiringprecautions and equipment toprevent system failures notcovered by safe job proceduresor project safety plans.

29

Safe Permits to Work

Permits may be requiredwhere the consequenceof non-compliance withfall protection requirementsis severe, or where droppedmaterials may endangerother workers below:

i.e. working over water or working at height.
