4.0 DEFINITIONS & ABBREVIATIONS

Work Permit It is a document authorizing a person to undertake specific work in a

designated area. It serves as an agreement between Process Owners
(Issuing Authority) & Initiators (Executing Authority).

1
Process
owner/Issuing The person operating the plant & equipment
Authority

Initiator/ The person executing the work

Executing
Authority

Area In-charge The person who is responsible and overall owner for the Area/Plant where
the maintenance job is carried out.
Hot Work It is an authorization document issued to carry out any work that involves
Permit burning, welding, cutting, brazing, soldering, grinding, using fire or spark-
producing tools, open flames or that produces a source of ignition.

Cold Work It is an authorization document issued to carry out any work which is carried

Permit out with no reasonable source of ignition.
Eg: Opening of an equipment, painting, insulation, civil work like flooring
etc.

Work at It is an authorization document issued to work in any place where, if

Height precautions were not taken, a person could fall a distance and liable to
cause personal injury.
It applies when workers are working at heights of 2m or more above a
ground/floor level.

Confined It is an enclosed space large enough for an employee to enter fully and
Space perform assigned work; It is not designed for continuous occupancy by the
employee; Has a limited or restricted means of entry/exit.
Eg:-These space may include underground vaults, chambers, storage tanks,
bins, tankers, tunnels, sewers, boilers pipe lines ,pits, vessels, ventilation
ducts, exhaust ducts, furnaces, diked areas, silos etc.

It is an authorization document issued for entry of personnel into a confined

space.

Confined A permit-required confined space has one or more of these characteristics:

Space Entry ■ Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere; ■
Permit Contains a material with the potential to engulf someone who enters the
space; ■ Has an internal configuration that might cause an entrant to be
trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor that
slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross section; and/or ■Contains
any other recognized serious safety or health hazards.

Note: This Permit is only for entry in to confined space not for carryout any
job inside. For carrying out job inside, relevant permit shall be taken.

2
 Any man-made cut, cavity, trench or depression in an earth surface formed
by earth removal from a site to form an open face, hole or cavity using
Excavation tools, machinery or explosives

Standard form for approval / clearance by relevant functions for carrying

out excavation/piling in a safe manner.
Excavation
Permit "Lockout/ tagout" refers to specific practices and procedures to safeguard
employees from the unexpected energization or startup of machinery and
Lock out Tag equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during service or
Out (LOTO maintenance activities. This requires, in part, that a designated individual
turns off and disconnects the machinery or equipment from its energy
source(s) before performing service or maintenance and that the authorized
employee(s) either lock or tag the energy-isolating device(s) to prevent the
release of hazardous energy and make sure that the energy has been
isolated effectively.

Lockout devices hold energy-isolation devices in a safe or “off" position.

They provide protection by preventing machines or equipment from
becoming energized because they are positive restraints that no one can
remove without a key or other unlocking mechanism, or through
extraordinary means, such as bolt cutters. Tagout devices, by contrast, are
prominent warning devices that an authorized employee fastens to energy-
isolating devices to warn employees not to reenergize the machine while he
or she services or maintains it. Tagout devices are easier to remove and, by
themselves, provide employees with less protection than do lockout
devices.

Any activity, process or work that has the potential to cause significant
Critical Job personal injury, property damage, upset or trip of the plant.

A High-Risk Procedure is a technique that focuses on job tasks (where key

High Risk tasks are broken down into sub tasks) as a way to identify hazards before
Procedure they occur. It focuses on the relationship between the worker, the task, the
tools, and the work environment. Once uncontrolled hazards are identified,
steps are taken to eliminate or reduce them to an acceptable risk level

5.0 Procedure

5.1 Creation of Work Request

Whenever a maintenance/any other job is required to be carried out, the concerned
Process Owners shall create a work request and send it to the Initiator.

3
 On receiving the work request, the concerned Initiator shall review the nature of
maintenance work to decide whether a work permit is required or not. (Refer
Annexure-2 for works that does not require permit)

5.2 Issue of Work Permit

If the nature of maintenance work does not require a work permit, Process Owner
can start the work directly with information to area in-charge.
If the nature of work requires a work permit, the Initiator shall request the Process
Owners for relevant work permit.
Process Owners shall prepare appropriate work permit (Refer Annexure-3), sign and
issue it after confirming the following measures:

 Equipment/work Area has been prepared and all hazards associated with the
job have been identified, assessed, managed and all relevant parties have
agreed with the safety precautions.

 All necessary supporting documents such as electrical isolation cards /

relevant approvals / High Risk Procedure document/sketches and drawings
are attached to the permit.

 The executing authority knows the exact work location, scope of the work, all
the hazards that are associated with the job and relevant
precautions/controls that must be taken and maintained during execution of
the job.

 Relevant safety preparations, including isolations, de-energizing and de-

pressurizing, Lock-out and Tag-out (LOTO) process have to be complied.

The work permit is made in triplicate (white, yellow & pink form). The Original shall be
issued to the Executing Authority which shall be kept in plastic folder and displayed at the
workplace till completion of work. The yellow copy shall be kept at the respective office &
the pink copy shall be handed over to Safety dept after completion of work.

All other concerned authorities such as Area In-charge, safety Officer, Executing
Authority, Head of other affected department/section shall sign the work permit as
relevant.

5.3 Execution of Work

On receiving the permit, the Executing Authority shall be responsible for
commencing and completing the authorized job while fully complying with the
following requirements:

 Ensure that all concerned authorities have signed the work permit.
 Know and understand the potential hazards involved in the job.
 Know and understand how the hazards are controlled.

4
  Know the right kind of PPEs required, ensure correct use and compliance

taken including evacuating the area.
 Deliver the Tool-Box-Talk to the workers involved, explaining all the hazards
associated with the work and the required safe work practices that need to
be followed prior to the commencement of job.

For all critical jobs, a Job High Risk Procedure (HRP) shall be conducted: List of critical jobs
that need HRP by a team comprising of members from the work area, relevant maintenance
section and safety officer. The HRP shall be attached to the work permit.

The Executing Authority/his team shall carry out the job adhering to applicable
safety precautions. The In-charge of the team/any of the members working on the
job shall display the original permit (white form) near the work place. Managers,
safety officer shall make periodic inspection to ensure the compliance of work
permit requirements.

5.4 Extension of work Permit

If a job accompanied with a work permit is not completed within one Shift (8 hours)
and qualifies for an extension, the Initiator shall obtain extension. If it does not
qualify for extension, a fresh work permit shall be issued by the Process Owner. The
permit can be extended for 15 consecutive days, after that new permit must be
taken. For each shift there must be a process owner & initiator whose signature &
name must be in the permit. The work shall be commenced only after getting valid
permit.

5.5 Closure of work permit

On completion of job, the Initiator shall ensure the site is safe and all tools & tackles,
