4.2.1

Does the work permit system assure that operators and supervisors are continuously aware of all critical and hazardous work in progress?

A large number of work permits often make it difficult to have an overview over work in progress.

Possible measures are:

  1. Check: transfer of information between shifts, different departments and installations (example flotels).
  2. Ensure that work permits are issued for critical or hazardous operations.
  3. Establish a maximum number of work permits operators are allowed to issue.
  4. Improve control by reducing administration of work permits/ persons involved.
