When are PTW systems applicable When are PTW systems applicable? • Works which may adversely affect the safety of personnel, the environment or the plant • High Risk / Non-routine activities which will require some form of JSA / RA prior to work commencing • It is not intended that PTW procedures be applied to all activities as experience has shown that their overall effectiveness may be weakened When are PTW systems applicable? • Non-production work e.g. maintenance, repair, inspection, testing, alteration, construction, dismantling, adaptation, modification of equipment or processes, cleaning etc • Temporary or permanent changes, • Jobs where two or more individuals or groups need to co-ordinate activities to complete the job safely; Hot work Hot work in explosive environment work of any type where 1. Work which may generate sparks or other sources of ignition; 2.Heat is used or generated (eg by welding, flame cutting, grinding etc); • Work on high voltage electrical equipment; Electrical troubleshooting or repair on live circuits • Work involving the use of hazardous / dangerous substances, including radioactive materials and explosives (e.g. blasting); • Diving, including onshore operations near water; • Pressure testing; • Complex machinery • Evacuation near buried services / • Escape or rescue systems; • Temporary equipment, e.g. generators, welding equipment etc; • Critical Lifting, Use of mobile cranes • Bypassing or removing / altering Safety devices or equipment • Work at height; Elevated works • Operational pipelines • Other applications Insulation or catalysts handling Product conversion of stationary or mobile or portable vessels and containers Exposure to moving / rotating machinery In proximity of vents, liquid of gas On process lines with gas release Confined spaces Entry and work Potential oxygen deficiency or enrichment Potential flammable/explosive atmosphere Potential high temperature/pressure Potential hazardous chemicals, e.g.: toxic substances Confined space entry, e.g.: tanks, cold box, pit, normally closed vessels CAUTION Opening in Ground Keep Out ! Confined Space Entry Permit Location and description of confined space: Reason for entry: Permit issued to: Supervisor’s Name: Attendant’s name: Permit issuer’s name: % oxygen: % lower explosive limit: ppm CO: H2S: Requirements Emergency Rescuer yes no Continuous Gas Monitor yes no Barrier for ground openings yes no Warning Signs yes o Safety Harness with life line yes no Tripod / Hoist / Pulley yes no Excavations: Poorly planned excavations can result in damage to underground services, such as electrical lines, natural gas lines, water lines, sewers and drains. The consequence of damaged service lines is often complete shutdown of operations resulting in major business losses. Excavations: Excavations may expose hazardous materials / toxic substances which have leaked and are contaminating the soil. MS /JSA Procedures Excavating The safety representative must verify that all underground utilities have been located and staked out. Provisions must be made to barricade the open trench, prevent collapse of trench walls, provide employees with a means of exit, Reroute ground water, all other requirements of excavating If soil is contaminated, safety and health plan. Exposure to Traffic / Vehicles / Combustion Engines Internal combustion engines or vehicles with internal combustion engines inside company buildings. produce poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen. Use of company owned equipment, such as personnel lifts, fork trucks, vehicles, etc., by employees of a contractor Prevent equipment emissions from contaminating air inside buildings and confined spaces. Unauthorized use of company equipment can result in lost production and injury to untrained operators. Require permission of area management, and Require verification of equipment operator training. Movement of large pieces of equipment, Especially while other personnel are working nearby, can result in employee injury from falling material, or being struck by equipment. Hazardous vapors and gases Abandoned tanks, pipe lines, drums, and vessels may contain hazardous vapors and gases. Permits may be issued to prevent toxic or corrosive exposures to workers ? Noise Many construction processes create noise levels high enough to cause hearing loss. Boilers, High pressure vessels Boilers, high pressure vessels, tanks, and reactors can undergo sudden failure resulting in disastrous consequences. Permits may be issued requiring precautions and equipment to prevent system failures not covered by safe job procedures or project safety plans. Elevated Works where the consequence of noncompliance with fall protection requirements is severe, or where falling objects may endanger other workers below. Energized lines Permits are required before work begins near energized lines which cannot be shut off if there is danger of fire, shock or electrocution. Non Routine / Routine work Requiring special precautions must be clearly indicated and communicated to workers, and their supervision. PPE Personal protective equipment and other safety equipment required is specified. For each hazard present at the work site, the safety representative must specify a hazard control. Where to Get Help? Your supervisor is responsible for providing equipment necessary to comply with Safe Work Permit requirements.

  • Risk Assessment Guidance
    Risk Assessment Guidance The assessor can assign values for the hazard severity (a) and likelihood of occurrence (b) (taking into account the frequency and duration of exposure) on a scale of 1 to 5, then multiply them together to give the rating band: Hazard Severity (a) Likelihood of Occurrence (b) 1 – Trivial (eg discomfort, slight bruising, self-help recovery) 1 – Remote (almost never) 2 – Minor (eg small cut, abrasion, basic first aid need) 2 – Unlikely (occurs rarely) 3 – Moderate (eg strain, sprain, incapacitation > 3 days) 3 – Possible (could occur, but uncommon) 4 – Serious (eg fracture, hospitalisation >24 hrs, incapacitation >4 4 – Likely (recurrent but not frequent) weeks) 5 – Very likely (occurs frequently) 5 – Fatal (single or multiple) The risk rating (high, medium or low) indicates the level of response required to be taken when designing the action plan. Trivial Minor Moderate Serious Fatal Rating Bands (a x b) Remote 1 2 3 4 5 LOW RISK MEDIUM RISK HIGH RISK (1 – 8) (9 - 12) (15 - 25) Unlikely 2 4 6 8 10 Continue, but Continue, but -STOP THE Possible review implement ACTIVITY- 3 6 9 12 15 periodically to additional Identify new ensure controls reasonably controls.

  • Permits-To-Work in the Process Industries
    SYMPOSIUM SERIES NO. 151 # 2006 IChemE PERMITS-TO-WORK IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRIES John Gould Environmental Resources Management, Suite 8.01, 8 Exchange Quay, Manchester M5 3EJ; [email protected] The paper presents the collective results from a number of Safety Management System audits. The audit protocol is based on the Health and Safety Executive pub- lication ‘Successful health and safety management’ and takes into account formal (written) and informal procedures as well as their implementation. Focused on permit-to-work systems, these have shown a number of common failings. The most common failure in implementing a permit-to-work system is the issue of too many permits. However, the audit protocol considers the whole risk control system. The failure to ‘close’ the management loop with an effective regular review process is the largest obstacle to an effective permit system. INTRODUCTION ‘Permits save lives – give them proper attention’. This is a startling statement made by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in its free leaflet IND(G) 98 (Rev 3) PTW systems. The leaflet goes on to state that two thirds of all accidents in the chemical industry are main- tenance related, with the permit-to-work (PTW) failures being the largest single cause. Given these facts, it comes as no surprise that PTW systems are a key part in the provision of a safe working environment. Over the past four years Environmental Resources Management (ERM) has been auditing PTW systems as part of its key risk control systems audits. Numerous systems have been evaluated from a wide rage of industries, covering personal care products man- ufacturing to refinery operations.

  • ISO 45001- Safety Management System Discussion Abstract May 2016
    Aon Risk Solutions Aon Global Risk Consulting ISO 45001- Safety Management System Discussion Abstract May 2016 Risk. Reinsurance. Human Resources. Aon Risk Solutions Aon Global Risk Consulting Summary of Safety Management Standards Safety management is a topic of significant concern for many organizations. When you consider how many activities must be undertaken and overseen to execute and implement a successful organization- wide safety process, results demonstrate the investment provides clear and measurable value. Although different organizations and industries face unique risks and have distinct safety requirements, there remains a commonality in safety practices that can be managed within certain tolerances. Additionally, fundamental practices, such as risk identification and assessment, incident investigation, employee engagement, and auditing, have universal application among organizations worldwide. To this end, a number of consensus standards have been established that provide guidance to help organizations establish internal safety management protocols. These standards provide the foundation and framework that enable organizations to model safety practices and activities. These standards provide guidance for the development, implementation, execution, and sustainment of safety management practices. These standards are often specific to the country or environment where the organization conducts its operations and in turn allows firms to address region- or country-specific regulatory expectations enabling them to tailor the standard’s expectations to meet those regulations. However, this has also resulted in a plethora of standards which vary in some notable ways. In an attempt to expand the degree of standardization of safety practices, the International Standards Organization (ISO) began working on unifying safety standards. This effort traces its roots back to the mid-2000’s; however, the first formal ISO 45001 committee was not convened until 2010 and then required four years to develop the first draft standard.

    Guide to Developing the Safety Risk Management Component of a Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan Overview The Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) regulation (49 C.F.R. Part 673) requires certain operators of public transportation systems that are recipients or subrecipients of FTA grant funds to develop Agency Safety Plans (ASP) including the processes and procedures necessary for implementing Safety Management Systems (SMS). Safety Risk Management (SRM) is one of the four SMS components. Each eligible transit operator must have an approved ASP meeting the regulation requirements by July 20, 2020. Safety Risk Management The SRM process requires understanding the differences between hazards, events, and potential consequences. SRM is an essential process within a transit The Sample SRM Definitions Checklist can support agencies agency’s SMS for identifying hazards and analyzing, as- with understanding and distinguishing between these sessing, and mitigating safety risk.

    ISO 45001 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS MIGRATION GUIDE ISO 45001 OVERVIEW The occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, ISO 45001, is a new international standard that provides a framework for an organization to manage risks and opportunities to help prevent work-related injury and ill health to workers. The intended outcome is to improve and provide a safe and healthy workplace. ISO 45001 is intended to help organizations, regardless of size or industry, in designing systems to proactively prevent injury and ill health. All of its requirements are designed to be integrated into an organization’s management and business processes. KEY BENEFITS OF ISO 45001 ISO 45001 implements the Annex SL process and structure, Why an ISO standard? making integration of multiple ISO management system standards easier, such as ISO 9001, Quality management systems and ISO 14001, Environmental management systems. Employees feel their needs and safety are being taken It uses a simple plan-do-check-act (PDCA) model, which provides into account. a framework for organizations to plan what they need to put in place in order to minimize the risk of injury or illness.
