For Blasting & Painting, Production Wireline & Construction activities, a Hazard Identification Checklist ) m ust be com plet ed & at t ached t o the Permit to Work Form
Note:
R o u t i n e vs. N o n - R o u t i n e work is not to be used as
criteria for determining when the Permit to Work is needed.
Refer to the PTW/ SimOps Decision Matr ix to help determine the need for utilizing Permit to Work only or Permit to Work and SimOps.
The above captures the majority of circumstances that require the need for a Permit to Work. However, not every scenario can be predicted. Many situations will have to be evaluated individually.
A d d i t i o n a l Sp e ci f i c Pe r m i t s
The Permit Approver ( OS, OIM, DSM, WSM, or the Designee) and/or Area Controller (Ops Rep) shall review all applications for Permit to Work and indicate which types of additional specific permits are required in order to allow approval of the work (Hot Work, Confined Space, Excavation, Electrical, Isolation of Hazardous Energy, SimOps Plan, etc.)
All necessary permits are required to be fully completed and approved by all signatories prior to Permit Users (Person(s) Performing Work) carrying out any work.
Competent personnel defined by the SBU or facility shall initiate and prepare the Permit to Work and associated specialized permits
PTW documentation shall be available in the language appropriate for personnel involved in the PTW approval process. Other means (i.e., translators) may be necessary to promote clear understanding.
Co m m u n i c at i o n a n d Co o r d i n a t i o n It
is important to make sure that an activity under a Permit to Work does not create danger for another activity elsewhere. There shall be means to ensure that clear communication and coordination of work is ongoing to address possible permit conflicts and/or simultaneous operations (SimOps) situations.
The
Permit Approver ( OS, OIM, DSM, WSM, or the Designee) , Area Controller (Ops Rep) , SimOps Controller or other responsible person(s) must be aware of potential interaction and check when the PTW is prepared, whether it impinges on a PTW already issued and still current, or could endanger another area.
Co n d u c t On s i t e JSA a n d Re c y c l e
A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) shall be performed onsite prior to the initiation of work. The purpose of the onsite JSA is to: •
Involve the work team to make sure that the people doing the work understand the tasks, hazards and mitigations
•
Address on-site conditions on the day of the work
•
Verify that work team has proper skill level and tools
The crew/personnel carrying out the work should be included in the development and communication of the JSA. Communication should address the nature and extent of the job, the hazards involved, controls in place, and limitations on the time.
Recycl e JSA •
The JSA may identify hazards that were not previously identified and controlled, or not addressed in the preparation of permits. When this situation occurs, the permit preparation should be reviewed and updated as appropriate.
A p p r o v e / Re le ase Pe r m i t
The Perm it Approver ( O S, O I M , D SM , W S M , o r t h e D e s i g n e e ) wil l designate t he Person Leading Work by nam e

The preferred method for authorization is written (signatures), however if a verbal sign-off is needed due to specific operational limitation(s) of an area/location, it needs to be clearly identified on the permit

In the event of suspended work, check the appropriate box at the top of the permit to work form.
When an emergency alarm sounds, work in the affected area must stop and everyone must follow the required emergency action for the area. The Permit to Work shall not be reactivated until the Permit Approver ( OS, OIM, DSM, WSM, or the Designee), and/or Area Controller ( Ops Rep) has verified that it is safe for work to resume and the permit conditions have been revalidated.
In the event of work stoppage due to an emergency drill, authorized work may resume upon official notification by the Operations Representative and/or Person Leading Work that the drill has ended.
If the job site is left unattended for more than 30 minutes, the permit conditions must be revalidated before work can be restarted.

The Permit Approver ( OS, OIM, DSM, WSM, or the Designee) , shall verify that work is complete and sign the Permit to Work and specialized work permit as appropriate to close out the permit.
The preferred method for close-out is written (signatures): however if a verbal sign-off is necessary because of specific operational limitation(s) of an area/location, it needs to be clearly identified on the permit
The Permit Approver ( OS, OIM, DSM, WSM, or the Designee) , or designee is responsible for communicating potential hazard situations encountered during work (i.e., isolation incomplete, procedure confusing/incorrect, access was inadequate) to the responsible facility management, his or her Supervisor .
Any documentation (e.g. procedures, tools, training materials, JSA) gaps identified are communicated to the SBU/facility responsible person(s)/department for update
