Equipment Identification - Fundamental Intent

cms_chrip — Thu, 30 May 2019 17:18:40 +0000

To identify and manage situations where incorrect Equipment Identification may pose significant hazards during performance any job or during any incident in plant areas. Such hazardous situations may result in fires or explosions that could result in personal injuries, property damage, community impacts, environmental impacts, or business impacts.

Example activities that would require use of an Equipment Identification SWP:

Excavation - Fundamental Intent

cms_chrip — Wed, 29 May 2019 16:15:08 +0000

To identify and manage hazards in areas where excavation work is being performed to pre-vent collapses that could result in personal injuries, property damage, community impacts, environmental impacts, or business impacts.

Considerations when developing an Excavation SWP:

Scaffolding - Fundamental Intent

cms_chrip — Fri, 24 May 2019 16:22:22 +0000

To identify and manage hazards in areas where Scaffolding is being performed and/or used as a work-platform; to prevent falls, collapses or dropped objects that could result in personal injuries, property damage, community impacts, environmental impacts, or business impacts.

Field Review of Permits - Fundamental Intent

cms_chrip — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 13:58:58 +0000

To improve awareness among permit to work roles of the importance of field visits for identifying situational and human factors which might otherwise be missed during task risk assessments. Not recognizing these factors before issuing permit might pose significant hazards during performing the planned tasks.

Equipment Filling and Mixing - Fundamental Intent

cms_chrip — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 20:00:37 +0000

To identify and manage situations of loss of containment - toxic release or/and explosion - due to filling and inadvertent mixing of incompatible fluids, which might pose significant hazards in and outside the plant areas.

Examples activities that would require use of Equipment Filling and Mixing SWP:

Hot Tapping - Fundamental Intent

cms_chrip — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 20:30:23 +0000

To identify and manage risks associated with welding, cutting drilling and other process boundary-penetration on live equipment and pipelines, so that fires or explosions that could result in personal injuries, property damage, community impacts, environmental impacts, or business impacts are prevented.

Confined Space Entry - Fundamental Intent

cms_chrip — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 21:04:58 +0000

To identify and manage hazards associated with entering equipment and spaces that have limited openings for worker entry and exit, could have unacceptable air quality such as toxics or irritants present or lack of oxygen, or present a risk of engulfment by loose particle or bulk material.

Examples activities that would require use of a Confined Space Entry SWP:

Line Opening - Fundamental Intent

John Vasko — Wed, 21 Feb 2018 16:42:28 +0000

To identify and manage loss of containment of hazardous materials during activities that require opening process lines or process equipment that could result in personal injuries, property damage, community impacts, environmental impacts, or business impacts.

Examples activities that would require use of a Line/Equipment Opening SWP:

Energy Isolation - Fundamental Intent

John Vasko — Wed, 21 Feb 2018 16:20:10 +0000

To identify and manage release of hazardous energy that could result in personal injuries, property damage, community impacts, environmental impacts, or business impacts. This includes inadvertent start-up of de-energized equipment, release of stored energy and release of hazardous materials during maintenance or operations activities. Types of hazardous energy releases that should be controlled include:

Temporary Instrumentation and Controls Bypass - Fundamental Intent

John Vasko — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 18:49:14 +0000

To identify and manage bypassing of instrumented safeguards on process equipment, which are designed to pre-vent fires, explosions, or toxic releases that could result in personal injuries, property damage, community impacts, environmental impacts, or business impacts.

Hot Work - Fundamental Intent

John Vasko — Fri, 10 Nov 2017 17:12:54 +0000

To identify and manage fire and explosion hazards in areas where hot work is being performed, to prevent fires or explosions that could result in personal injuries, property damage, communi-ty impacts, environmental impacts, or business impacts.

Examples activities that would require use of a Hot Work SWP:
