4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
CONTRACTOR Management is responsible for ensuring that work activities carried out by the
CONTRACTOR and their subcontractors, the Package Vendors and that activities performed are
conducted safely and that all personnel of above entities are not exposed to hazards and risks.
CONTRACTOR is responsible for performing their work activities safely and to comply with all the
HSSE Procedures.
In order to achieve this, all activities carried out by the CONTRACTOR shall be conducted as per the
requirements of this Procedure and its associated standards. CONTRACTOR will conduct audits and
surveillance to ensure conformance to this Procedure
5.0 PERMIT TO WORK OBJECTIVE
CONTRACTOR Permit to Work (PTW) System constitutes a formal method of ensuring safe work
practices for a specific activity with identified hazards. The work permit granted through the PTW
System stipulates the safety and precautionary or risk control measures to be applied with reference
to this specific procedure.
The minimum requirement for any works on site will be a Method Statement and a Risk Assessed
JHA.
CONTRACTOR reserve the right to implement a permit process for any task, where they decide the
risks and hazards of the task require a Permit to Work.
This PTW system is intended to better control the construction high risk work activities and ensure all
identified control measures are implemented.
The PTW will assist in the identification and control of hazards, but will not by itself make the work
safe. It is an essential part of a system which determines how a job can be completed safely and
helps communicate this to those doing the job.
The PTW system will ensure the following:
 Proper authorization for the work, ensure person or authority responsible for the site is
aware of all work being carried out.
 Effective communication on the risks/hazard of the job and precautions to be taken.

In the event of an accident involving the radiation exposure of non-monitored personnel,

immediately do the following:
 Set up restricted areas as specified in the procedures. Use a survey instrument to determine
the perimeter of the area. Record the names and phone numbers of non-monitored
personnel involved.
 Check the restricted area and prevent admittance to the area.
 Notify the CONTRACTOR Site Manager and HSSE Manager.
The CONTRACTOR Site and HSSE Manager will be responsible to obtain pertinent facts involving
the accident and will determine the future course of action.
D. Lost Source
In the event of a lost source, notify the CONTRACTOR Site Manager and HSSE Manager, and
appropriate regulatory agencies
.
The HSSE Manager or designee will perform the following steps:
 Obtain the information at the last known location of the source.
 Check area with survey meters and rope off restricted area.
 Locate the source using survey meters. Triangulate the exact position of the source. Do not
enter into the high-radiation area without extensive planning for retrieval.
 Devise a plan for recovery of the source and record significant points of the plan. The
primary concern must be minimum exposure to any personnel.
 Carefully retrieve source and replace in device or shielded container.
Never handle an unshielded device with bare hands.

E. Vehicular Accident
In the event of a vehicular accident involving by-product material, a restricted area must be
established as specified in these procedures.
 Do not rely on a possibly damaged meter. Assume that the source is in the exposed position
inside the vehicle. In case of a minor accident where it can be visually determined that the
source is safely stored in its container, its proper position in the device must be checked with
a survey meter before the device is handled. If the survey is satisfactory, a restricted area
may not be needed.
 After a minor accident, an apparently operable meter may provide totally erroneous
information and need recalibration; a backup meter should be used to determine if a
radiation hazard exists or else a site survey team may be called before the device or vehicle
is moved.
 In any case, immediately after establishing the restricted areas, notify the CONTRACTOR
Manager and HSSE Manager
F. Possible Overexposure
In the event an incident occurs and causes or threatens to cause overexposure to personnel, the
CONTRACTOR HSSE Manager will be responsible to verify that the following is/was performed:
 Remove personnel involved from radiographic operations area immediately.

 Post area properly if hazard exists.
 The CONTRACTOR HSSE Manager then verifies that Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD
badges) or film badges are sent to nearest testing laboratory for immediate processing. In
case unauthorized personnel are involved, get the name, address, and telephone number of
the person(s) suspected and gather all facts pertaining to the cause of the exposure.
 Have the person(s) complete a statement of facts on how the exposure occurred and send
the report to the CONTRACTOR /Site Manager.
Upon receipt of all facts and exposure results, the CONTRACTOR HSSE Manager will determine
what action must be taken before the person(s) can return to normal radiographic operations.
The HSSE Manager or designee compiles a complete and comprehensive written report of all
elements that have transpired. The report is to be presented to the CONTRACTOR Site Manager
within 24 hours of the incident.
