The document discusses permit to work (PTW) procedures at an NGI training center. It defines what a PTW is, its purpose of ensuring work is planned and hazards identified, and that it is a legal document. It describes what types of work require a PTW, including hot work and cold work. It outlines the PTW process including initiation, authorization, cancellation. It defines roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in the PTW process. Finally, it discusses complementary permits that may be required for different types of work, such as electrical isolation or confined space entry.

1. NGI Training Center Welcome safety course PERMIT TO WORK

2. Definition Permit : The formal written and authorising document: approved by management, describing the work to be carried on identifying the potential hazards or interacting activities that can take place specifying the requirement, precautions requested to work in safe condition

3. Purpose To ensure: All work activities, hazards and precautions are defined prior to the execution of the work proper planning and consideration communication between installation management, supervisors and operators and those who carry out the work. Monitoring and auditing to ensure safe system of works.

4. Permit is Written-Legal Document defining a Safe System of Work. Remember : This is a legal document . When you sign it, you can be held responsible if something goes wrong

5. Mis-conception that the PTW system should control all of the work carried out at a facility can lead to an overload of the PTW system, which prevents proper attention given to activities with a higher hazard potential. PTW is appropriate to non-routine activities which may require some form of Job Safety Analysis prior to work commencing. PTW is required for Maintenance work carried out by plant operators. Use a PTW when two or more groups of people (different trades), need to co-ordinate their activities to ensure that their work is completed safely. What work requires Permit?

6. Routine Maintenance and production plant operations; all carried out in accordance with site approved procedures Where this is identified on fixed lists approved by TIJD Commissioning Manager If it is carried out in an area specified on an installation layout drawing, approved by TIJD Commissioning Manager Visual inspection of areas (except in confined spaces). Work Not require a Permit

7. Types of Main Permit Hot Work: spark / ignition potential Naked Flame: Welding, Burning, Grinding etc. Cold Work: no spark / ignition potential

8. Any work involving equipment giving rise to a Definite source of ignition, such as: use of equipment for oxy-acetylene burning, gas welding, electric-arc welding, propane torch heating and burning, grinding or use of a hot-air gun. What is a Hot (Naked Flame) Work ?

9. Any work involving, or giving rise to, a Potential source of ignition, such as: Grit-blasting Work on non-intrinsically safe equipment Using non-certified electrical equipment not controlled by an Electrical Permit (e.g. Avometer, power tools etc) Spray painting Use of Camera with flash What is a Hot Work ?

10. What is a Cold Work ? Cold Work- Any task, or the use of any tool or equipment that will not produce a source of ignition. Such as: use of tools for erection, dismantling and cleaning, which are not liable to produce sparks, Pressure testing of plant and equipment Disconnection or opening up of any closed pipeline or vessel Spading and de-spading of hydrocarbon line Chemical cleaning Handling of hazardous substances, e.g. radioactive source, toxic / corrosive chemicals, asbestos, etc

11.  Validity Hot Work, Naked Flame and Cold Work Main Permits, all have same validity period . 7 Consequent SHIFTS or 7 Days Maximum!

The control and use of isolation certificate are described in `the permit to work procedure .

39. Are Valid as far as the isolation is implemented without limit of duration. ISOLATION CERTIFICATE

41. High Voltage Electrical Isolation This Complementary Permit is required for all isolation work on electrical systems or equipment where the voltage exceeds the following limits: 1000 volts AC or 1500 volts DC between conductors. 600 volts AC or 900 volts DC between conductors and earth. Any situation except above condition will be covered under Low Voltage Electrical Isolation Permit

42. Sanction for Test This Complementary Permit is required to test individual or multi-discipline items of equipment. It allows for temporary removal of safety isolations and the provision of temporary actions to override or remove equipment to carry out such tests.
