Work Permits System
Work Permits Why the need?
Work Permit systems are intended to reduce the chance of misunderstandings when non routine activities are to be carried out in an operational facility such as: Refineries. Workshops, Labs. Jetties, Pipelines, Construction Sites, Exploration & Production platforms & Camps etc.
The Work permit is a written document, authorizing persons to carry out the work, warning them of the potential dangers and spelling out the precautions needed, if the job is to be completed safely.
The Work permit itself does not make the job safe, this can only be achieved by those doing the job. What the Permit does - is ensure that proper consideration is given to the Hazards and that they are dealt with, prior to the job being started. It is important to understand that two copies are always issued One to the Worksite Permit Holder (The authorising person on the job) and the other copy being retained by the HSE Dept.
Types of Permit to WorkThe following operations - when working on crew, will require a Work Permit; Work involving the use of naked flame. (Welding repairs etc.) The use of chainsaws. The use of Transport outside of normal working hours. Entry into a confined space. Work on Electrical systems where the potential for the sudden introduction of power exists. Entry to work in a Magazine. Working at heights above 1.5 mtrs. (Ground Level) Excavations deeper than 1 mtr. Construction of Jetties.
Job Preparation JOB PREPARATION where the hazards are identified andExamples are, but not limited to; Detection Equip. put in place for the early detection of Gas. Electrical Equip. Disconnected or Locked out. (Isolated by shutting down the Generator). Area vented Inert Gas purged. (Confined Spaces). Harness & Waist belts provided When working from heights. Life jackets & Safety boat in place When working over water. measures put in place to reduce them to ALARP. Only when all such actions are completed, can the work start.
It is essential that the work is completed only in the area as defined on the Work Permit. Upon completion, the worksite must be left in a Safe and tidy condition so that normal operations may continue unhindered - The original Work Permit should then be closed out and documented by the HSE Dept informed.

Purpose of the JSA Purpose of the JSAWhat is the purpose of the JSA? Can you describe each step of every job you do? Do you know all the hazards associated with your job?
Purpose of the JSA Purpose of the JSA
Purpose of the JSA Purpose of the JSA to create job safety awareness establish a way of thinking develop or re-vamp procedures train new employees use during accident investigations to identify and resolve hazards
Four steps to conducting a Four steps to conducting a JSA JSA Select the job Break the job down Identify the hazards Develop solutions
Select the job to analyze Select the job to analyze Analyze only one job at a time. Define the objective of each job
Select the job to analyze Select the job to analyze Jobs with high accident rates Jobs that produce Lost Time Injuries Dangerous jobs - High Potential New jobs, or new equipment Non Routine jobs Ultimately - All jobs

Break the job down Break the job down Start at the beginning List each basic step involved Include every basic step10 - 15 steps is normal
Record what is done - not how
Break the job down Break the job downNote: When listing the job steps. At each step ask yourself: "Is this step needed to achieve the objective of this job?"
Break the job down Break the job downAvoid confusing hazard controls as job steps. e.g. is preparing or donning PPE a job step?
Identify the hazards Identify the hazards Identify the hazards for each job step Consider all possible hazards
Identify the hazards Identify the hazardsIdentify hazards for each job step Identify physical hazards Identify chemical hazards Identify ergonomic hazards Look for clues in the environment Look for clues in the equipment Look for clues from the people
Identify the hazards Identify the hazardsConsider all possible hazards Ask "What could happen if the unexpected occurs?" Ask "What type of accident could occur during this job step?"

Benefits gained during the Benefits gained during the JSA JSAEmployees "buy-in" to the safety program Better job procedures are developed Employees have better attitudes and are more aware of safe job procedures Supervisors gain knowledge of the jobs they supervise
The JSA and Safe Work The JSA and Safe Work Procedures ProceduresJSAs to develop procedures should be carried out as a team All employees involved in the process should be part of the team Before becoming a procedure, the JSA should be duly approved by crew management
