WHAT IS THE STOP CARD? The Stop Card is a tool that gives all Total and contractor employees the authority to step in and stop ongoing work if they feel that an action or situation is unsafe or could lead to an accident. There will be no sanctions for users, either by Total or contractor managers, even in the event of incorrect use. The program involves a physical card signed by the unit's manager and cosigned by the contractor's local managers for their employees Stop Card 2015 – Summary Presentation (Practical Information Sheet 3)
