Permit Verification Process We assure that tasks must have a job specific checklist completed before the work begins Communication specific to the hazards on the checklist The checklist is broken up into 7 sections

Permit Verification Process 1. General Information- Permit description, date, time, equipment #, type of permit, emergency alarms, evacuation assembly areas etc 2. (PPE) Requirements 3. Permit Requirements- Continuous monitoring, sewers & drains covered, spark containment etc

Signatures- Each crew member, the crew leader and the supervisor Conclusion : 8. Allows the entire crew to discuss the hazards of the task 9. Ensures permit requirements have been evaluated, satisfied, and understood

Performing Task Specific Surveys Types of surveys conducted: Authorization-to-work (ATW) Hot Work Permits Safety Specific Confined Space Entry

Performing Task Specific Surveys (cont) Each survey monitors the compliance of that particular task procedure Make corrective actions Document survey findings Findings as a learning lesson for everyone

Performing Task Specific Surveys (cont) Task specific surveys are completed by: Safety Coordinators Confined Space Auditors Permit Specialists Supervisors Craftsman Bp volunteers from all departments

How the process worked Our safety specialists developed an auditing program to evaluate each work process and task assignment Daily/shift safety reporting to the project and owner On-the-spot/hourly/daily/shift feedback with coaching and corrective measures

What This Means Even though we grew in a short time, preparing for change allowed us to keep our processes in check Our management infrastructure grew in proportion to the size of our field growth As projects were added, we recruited, trained, and managed the process

What’s Ahead CertifiedSafety will continue to grow Through lessons learned and owner/general contractor feedback, we will meet requirements and expectations of those we serve
