4. Driving policy
5. Energy isolation
6. Ground Disturbance
7. Lifting Operations
8.Management of change (MOC)

 1. Permit to Work
• Defines scope of work
• Identifies hazards and assesses risk
• Establishes control measures to eliminate or mitigate
hazards
• Is authorized by the responsible person(s)
