Study Notes
Permit Control Center
- Clearly defined location for administering Safety Work Permits (e.g., control room)
Residual Hazards
- Hazards remaining after implementing controls (e.g., PPE, isolation)
Routine Work
- Tasks with daily/weekly frequency
- Not complex; repetitive tasks
- Consistent work conditions throughout the work
Utility System
- Piping (steam, water, condensate, air, nitrogen)
- Electrical lines, panels, substations
Permit Issuer
- Designated by Site Management
- Trained to authorize work via Safety Work Permit Form
Permit Receiver
- Trained to receive and understand Safety Work Permit conditions
Hot Work
