Classification: Tasnee - General Information Standby man / Fire Watch Certification Training 1 Classification: Tasnee - General Information The Objectives and Aims of this Session ❑ Completely understand the responsibilities and tasks of a Standby man and fire watch. ❑ Gain understanding in the basic concept of Tasnee’s Work Permit System ❑ Understand how to assist during an emergency situation ❑ Be equipped to immediately handle minor emergency situation or alerting for immediate response ❑ Providing additional support to the EHSS in performing fire, health, safety and environmental checks or inspections ❑ Respond to and assist in eventual emergency situations arising from any operational activities 2 Classification: Tasnee - General Information 3 Classification: Tasnee - General Information Craftsman: Competent person in executing a specific task, leading and working with the team that performs the task for activities where many personnel are required to do the work. Safe Maker: A trained and certified person with valid authorization card who is designated on the permit by the Permit Issuer for safe making. Hot Work: Any work capable of supplying source of ignition energy for igniting flammable mixtures or combustible materials or working on live electrical circuits Cold Work: Any work that does not create enough heat or sparks to ignite flammable gas-air mixtures or flammable materials including working on de-energized electrical equipment. Job safety analysis: JSA is a systematic job hazard analysis approach to control and/or eliminate the identified hazard associated with each step of a job. 4 Classification: Tasnee - General Information Standby Man: A trained and certified person designated on the permit by the Permit Issuer to perform stand-by duties during specific activities. Fire Watch: A trained and certified person in fire extinguisher training by third party designated on the permit by the Permit Issuer to perform fire watch duties during hot work. Work Area. The physical area where work is carried out. Positively identified. Identifying equipment where work must be carried out, by placing a tag on the equipment. 5 Classification: Tasnee - General Information Vehicle / Equipment Entry: Is the entry of an internal combustion engine vehicle or equipment in a classified hazardous area. 6 Classification: Tasnee - General Information Confined space: Any enclosure having a limited opening for entry and exit, unfavorable natural ventilation, which could contain or produce dangerous air contaminants presents serious hazards to occupants; or which is not intended for continuous employee occupancy. These include, but are not limited to drum, column, tank, heat exchanger, ducts, stack, pipe, manholes, pits, excavation more than 1.2 meters in depth and can be categorized into: ❑ Confined space category A where it is possible for hazardous substances to be present and permanent breathing apparatus shall be worn during the execution of the task ❑ Confined space category B where there are no hazardous substances or where the environment can or has been made safe and can be kept safe during execution of the task 7 Classification: Tasnee - General Information Confined space Entry: The action by which a person passes through an opening into a confined space. Entry is considered to have occurred as soon as any part of the person’s body breaks the plane of an opening into the space. A confined space entry means when the head or feet of a person passes the outside limits of the confined space and enters into it. Chemical Hazards: The chemical properties of process substances pertaining to their toxicity, flammability, explosiveness, corrosiveness, reactivity, and other characteristics that, when released, create hazards to people, facilities, and the environment. 8 8 Classification: Tasnee - General Information Oxygen Enriched Atmosphere: An atmosphere containing more than 22 % oxygen by volume. Oxygen-rich atmospheres expand the range of flammability, lower the ignition energy, and will cause combustible materials to burn violently when ignited. Rescue plan: A Plan that is used to rescue the persons from the Confined Space regardless of confined Space category Lifeline/Retrieval line: A line (such as a rope or similar) used for preserving or saving life. A lifeline is used to maintain contact with a person in a dangerous or potentially dangerous situation (such as Confined Space). If retrieval line is used, the line can be used for rescue in case of an emergency. 9 9 Classification: Tasnee - General Information Permit Issuer / Receiver Common Responsibilities ❑ Shall conduct a face-to-face discussion with each other ( issuer & Receiver ) to ensure understanding of the Scope of Work, JSA and any other conditions. ❑ Shall conduct site joint visit ( issuer & Receiver ) to identify the hazard of the work and agree on the proper hazard mitigation. ❑ Shall ensure all process and asset work hazard associated to work has been identified. ❑ Shall ensure proper hazard mitigation has been taken for all identified hazard and asset work related. ❑ Shall handover work permit status to his counterpart at shift change. ❑ Shall ensure all work permit are immediately suspended in the event of an emergency. ❑ Shall ensure a work permit Revalidation take place following any Suspension when the Task needs to start again. ❑ Shall ensure the Fire watch not leave the work location after completion of hot work were welding activity or grinding took place for 1 Hour to check any potential delay ignition. ❑ Shall sign the work permit continuation accepting Handover of Responsibility as per the method. 10
