and is a requirement for all CUSTOMER jobs in restricted areas.
9.1 Definitions
9.1.3 Precautions
Checklist
Each permit contains a checklist of precautions against common hazards. Such a list
cannot include precautions against all hazards. It is the duty of both the issuer and the
receiver to review the job, anticipate what hazards might arise, check for flammable
gases in the area and see that proper precautions have been specified on the permit
before it is signed.
Clear Area
One specific precaution applying to all work is to clear the area of people not required for
the job to avoid their being exposed to unnecessary hazards. If people enter an area
where they could be exposed to undue danger, the work should be stopped until they
are cleared from the area.
Work Stoppage
If conditions change or become unsafe during the course of work, the issuer or local
supervisor may stop the work and cancel the permit.
The receiver has the responsibility to stop the work and advise the issuer or supervisor
any time he feels the HSE of the job does not meet the conditions of the work permit.
Issue the correct permits for the job — hot, cold, vessel or confined space entry,
and/or gas release. Two or more permits may be required for the job.
Issuer and receiver must both have in their possession a valid work permit
certification card (issuer and receiver respectively).
As per job requirement gas test and/or H2S gas test and/or oxygen analysis test
must be made before issuing work permit
Job description and equipment used must be clearly stated on the work permit. Be
specific, issue permits for a single pump, drum, etc.
All tick boxes must be correctly filled in and gas readings indicated.
Proper lockouts, hold tags, and blinds must be used where applicable (multiple clips
with lock, and/or chains with padlocks).
Work permits should be issued for the specific period of time required to complete the
job.
To extend time work permit beyond one shift, the incoming shift issuer must inspect
job site, write in extended time and sign permit.
Special precautions such as requirements for fire watch, SCBA, life lines, barricades,
etc. must be written on the permit.
The work permit must remain on the job site in a conspicuously visible place while
work is going on. If an emergency develops, the permit must be withdrawn
immediately and all work stopped without questions.
The work permit must be closed out after a job is completed. Issuer and receiver
must inspect the job site and sign off the work permit.
Note:- CUSTOMER’s ‘Permit to Work’ system will be adopted for the
PROJECT as advised by CUSTOMER.

will be made as to any identified hazards which shall be ranked in order of
magnitude against the list of hazards.
The rankings are given as low, medium and high in terms of probability and
severity, the assessment should therefore be based on what the hazards are and
what potential exists for injury or property damage. In other words risk rating i.e
low, medium and high = severity x probability.
This is a leading cause of fire. Most electrical fire start in wiring and motors, and
can be prevented by proper maintenance. Special attention is needed for
equipment in hazardous processes and in storage area.
Sabotage
This covers fires maliciously set by intruder’s juveniles, disgruntled employees,
and arsonists. Watch and guard services; installed fences and other security
measure can prevent them.
Smoking
Smoking must be strictly prohibited in storage area. It can be permitted in clearly
designated safe areas only.
Friction
Hot bearing, misaligned or broken machine parts and poor adjustment of power
drives can result to fire due to friction. This can be prevented by a regular
inspections, maintenance and lubrication.
Cutting & Welding
Sparks, arcs and hot metal from cutting & welding operation are a potential
source of fire; work permit & other precautions can be used for prevention.
Burner Flame
Improper use of portable torches, dryers, ovens, portable heating units and
burners can cause fire and can be prevented by proper design, operation and
maintenance.
Exposure
These are fires spreading from nearby properties. Blank walls furnish the most
effective barriers. Protect wall openings with open sprinklers or wired glass,
depending on the severity of exposure.
Combustion Sparks
Sparks and embers, released from incinerators, furnaces, fireboxes, various
process equipment, and industrial trucks can cause fires. Use well designed
equipment and well-enclosed combustion chambers with spark arresters, as
needed.
Mechanical Sparks
Sparks from foreign metal in machines can result in fires. These can be
prevented by keeping stock clean; removing foreign material by magnetic or
other separators.
Static Sparks
Ignition of flammable processes getting out of control, chemicals reacting with
other materials, and decomposition of unstable chemicals can cause fires. These
can be prevented by proper operation, instrumentation and controls; and by
careful handling and storage, particularly avoiding conditions of heat and shock.
Lightening
Direct lightening strokes, sparks from one object to another induced by nearby
lightning stroke, and induced surges in circuits and electrical equipment due to
lightening can cause fires. These can be prevented by the use of lightening rods,
arresters, surge capacitors, and grounding. Unusual causes and relatively
unimportant causes not included in the other classifications.
Smoking policy
Smoking and carrying of “strike anywhere” matches, lighters, and other spark-
producing devices must not be permitted in storage tanks areas. The size of the
restricted area will depend on the type of products handled, the design of the
building, and local conditions.

temperature because of excessive heat, a number of physical reactions can
occur ranging from mild (such as fatigue, irritability, anxiety, and decreased
concentration, dexterity, or movement) to fatal, because heat stress is one of the
most common and potentially serious illnesses that Construction workers
encounter; in areas where high temperatures are normally encountered, regular
monitoring and other preventative measures are vital.
