When is a Permit to Work Required

Permit-to-work systems should be considered whenever it is intended

to carry out work which may adversely affect the safety of personnel,
plant or the environment significantly. However, permit-to-work
systems should not be applied to all activities.

Permits-to-work are not normally required for controlling general

visitors to site or maintenance tasks in non-hazardous areas.
Permit to Work system; entities shall identify activities that require a
PTW through robust risk assessment in line with AD EHSMS.

HSJV PTW TRAINING

BARAKAH NUCLEAR POWER PLANT PROJECT-UAE
 Permit To Work Category

HSJV Construction (PTW) Permit to Work Categories & work tasks are classified
into the following categories:

• Cold Work (Scaffolding, critical lifts etc.)

• Hot Work (Spark potential)
• Associate Permit Excavations
• Associate Permit Confined Space
• Associate Permit Electrical (Electrical Cold Work de-energized and isolated systems)
• Associate Permit Working At Height
• Associate Permit Radiography (Controlled by KEPCO)

HSJV PTW TRAINING

BARAKAH NUCLEAR POWER PLANT PROJECT-UAE
 COLD WORK PERMIT

Cold Work Permit (Green Color)

A Cold Work Permit shall be used for tasks that do not involve hot work (the use of a
naked flame or potential ignition source) but have high risk potential and, therefore,
need to be covered by a permit. Work that could affect the safety of personnel,
equipment or risk to the environment.
• Ground Disturbance
• Excavation and trenching

• Isolation of plant and equipment

• Working at height

• Electrical Work

• Scaffolding

 No Permit Required

The Permit Issuer may allow certain specific, routine, non-hazardous tasks to be performed
in his/her area without the issue of a permit to work.

The Permit Issuer must satisfy himself that the risks are as low as reasonably practicable
(ALARP) and that the tasks are performed by suitably competent personnel.

Many of the tasks that do not require a permit or the use of a formal procedure are
themselves the subject of written procedures that have been, or will be approved method
statement and risk assessment. Such activities include, but are not limited to, the following:

• General cold work in workshops.

• Routine work in offices, and domestic activities.
