Supervisors

Supervisors (or person/s in charge of the work) should ensure that:

• They have received training in the work permit system as applied in that particular location.

• The people working for them have received adequate instruction in the system.

• They discuss the job fully with the person issuing the permit.

• The permit is posted at the work site.

• The work party is briefed on the details of the permit, including any potential hazards, ad on all the precautions taken or to be taken.

• The precautions are maintained throughout the work activity.

• The worker understands that if circumstances change work must be stopped and advice sought.

• The work group stays within the limitations set on the permit (physical boundaries, type of work and validity time).

• On completion or suspension of the work, the site is left in a safe condition and the permit issuer is informed.
