    WORK PERMIT SYSTEM

    1.0 INTRODUCTION

    The Work Permit System is an important

    tool for safety in hydrocarbon processing /handling. The recommended Work Permit

    System is described covering various

    aspects like when a work permit is required,

    types of permits, responsibilities, check

    lists, validity etc. The success of a Work

    Permit System depends upon the training,

    motivation and participation of all

    individuals concerned with itsimplementation. Since several maintenance/

    construction jobs are often carried out withassistance from contractors, it is essential to

    provide sufficient exposure to contractor

    and his employees as well.

    If the work has to be performed in a

    hydrocarbon processing/ handlinginstallation by any person other than the

    operating personnel of that area, a duly

    authorised written permit shall be obtained

    by the person/agency executing the work

    before commencement of the work.

    However, even for operating personnel,

    when work has to be performed outside

    their normal routine, an exclusive permit to

    that effect by the authorised person shall be

    obtained.

    2.0 SCOPE

    The Work Permit System shall cover all

    hydrocarbon processing / handling

    installations such as onshore /offshore

    processing platforms, gas treating units,

    crude oil terminals, refineries, pipelines,marketing installations and LPG bottling

    plants.

    3.0 DEFINITIONS

    a) Hot Work : Hot Work is an activity which

    may produce enough heat to ignite a

    flammable air - hydrocarbon mixture or aflammable substance.

    b) Cold Work : Cold Work is an activity which

    does not produce sufficient heat to ignite a

    flammable air- hydrocarbon mixture or a

    flammable substance.

    4.0 TYPE OF WORK PERMITS

    Based on the nature, the work shall beundertaken either under Hot Work Permit

    or Cold Work Permit, for which formats are

    exhibited in pages 17-38. Explanatory notes

    to check-list items of the formats are

    provided under Section 7.0.

    The two types of permits, one for cold work

    and the other for hot work are the minimum

    requirements which must be fulfilled before

    commencing work. For jobs like

    excavation, road/dyke cutting, electrical

    lockout / energising etc., where the work

    permit issuing authority may have to take

    clearances from other sections/ personnel,

    organisations may introduce supplementary

    formats for these purposes, if they considerit necessary. Format for electrical lockout/

    energising is given in OISD-STD-137 on

    "Inspection of Electrical Equipment".

    Radiography must be carried out when

    occupancy is least. For precautions to be

    taken during radiography, refer OISD-STD-

    155 on "Personal Protective Equipment".

    In addition to the regular work permit,

    supplementary permits as required by thelocal statutory bodies are also to be issued.

    5.0 PROCEDURE FOR WORK PERMIT

    SYSTEM

    Following is the procedure for theimplementation of Work Permit System :

    2

  • 7/28/2019 20468421 Work Permit System

    3/30

    (a) The Work Permit System shall always operate

    on "Owner - In-charge" concept. (Example:

    Process Unit-Shift In-charge; Laboratory-

    Chief Chemist; Depot-Depot Manager;

    Pipelines Installation- Shift In-charge). Theconcerned management shall issue the

    appropriate authority limits for variousinstallations and type of permits based on

    this concept.

    (b) The permit shall be in printed form.

    (c) Separate forms shall be used for Hot Workand Cold Work.

    (d) A system of colour coding is recommended to

    identify two types of permits. The

    recommended colours are pink for Hot

    Work Permit and yellow for Cold Work

    Permit. All permits shall be serially

    numbered.

    (e) Hot Work Permit shall be in four copies. Theoriginal shall be in pink colour and other

    copies shall have the word "COPY" printed

    in large pink letters.

    Cold Work Permit shall be in two copies. The

    Original shall be in yellow colour and the

    copy shall have the word "COPY" printed

    in large yellow letters.

    (f) It is recommended that both Hot Work Permit

    as well as Cold Work Permit be made in theform of books with tear-off facility. In the

    case of Hot Work Permit, the authorised

    Original copy shall be given to the receiver,

    the Duplicate to the Fire Section, Triplicate

    to Safety Section and Quadruplicateretained in the book. In case of Cold Work

    Permit, the authorised Original shall be

    issued to the receiver, retaining the

    Duplicate in the book.

    It is recommended that plot plans of the

    installation and the operating blocks should

    be displayed in the Fire and concerned UnitControl Rooms respectively and site of hot

    jobs under progress should be indicated onthese plot plans with red pins. This helps

    the incoming supervisor /s (both in Fire and

    Operating Departments) to get a quick idea

    of the hot jobs being undertaken and help in

    identifying the areas which require

    inspection / attention, depending upon the

    criticality of the area and the job.

    The Safety Officer/Fire Officer / Officer

    authorised will make periodic check of the

    Hot Work Sites and see that the work is

    being carried out as per conditions laiddown in the Hot Work Permit. At any point

    of time, if he considers that the conditionsare not safe enough for the work, he may

    suspend the work and inform the Work

    Permit Issuing Authority to restore the safe

    conditions so that work can be restarted.

    (g) For simplification of procedure, Hot WorkPermit also covers permission for vessel

    entry, vessel boxing-up and excavation. All

    activities outside the scope of Hot Work

    Permit shall be covered by Cold Work

    Permit.

    (h) No hot/cold work shall be undertaken without

    a work permit except in the areas pre-determined and designated by the owner-in-

    charge. All work permits shall be issued bythe person who is designated as responsible

    person for the operation of the area where

    work is to be carried out. In respect of work

    permits for handling highly critical types of

    work and also for long duration work such

    as in construction jobs in a running

    installation, the authorising level should be

    elevated.

    (i) The work may be planned to be done either

    departmentally or through a contractor. Ineither case, the work permit should be

    received and signed by the maintenance /

    project /construction supervisor of the

    company as he is responsible for the work

    of the contractor also. Where no suchindependent

    supervisor exists, for example in small

    installations, the owner-in-charge can issue

    the permit to the contractor's supervisor

    directly and obtain his signature.

    (j) Permit should be issued only for a single shift

    and its validity should expire at thetermination of the shift. However, where

    the work has to be continued, the samepermit may be revalidated in the succeeding

    shift, by authorised person after satisfying

    the normal checks.

    In instances like plant turn around or an

    activity where work is of continuous nature

    involving round the clock activity, blanket

    (vi) Running water hose/Portable extinguisher

    provided

    Running water hose and portable fire

    extinguisher are required respectively toflush / dilute in case of release of any

    hazardous chemical or to quench sparks andto put out small fires immediately.

    (vii) Fire water system checked for readiness

    In order to meet any contingency, it should

    be ensured that the fire water systemincluding fire water pumps, storage,

    network etc. is checked and kept ready for

    immediate use.

    (viii) Equipment blinded / dis-connected / closed

    / isolated / wedge opened

    Equipment / Vessel, on which the workpermit is being issued, should be

    completely isolated from the rest of theplant with which it is connected during

    normal operation, in order to ensure that

    there is no change in the work environment

    with respect to presence of toxic /

    flammable gases, liquids, hazardous

    chemicals etc. in the course of the work.

    Blinding is one of the most effective waysof isolation. Blinds should be installed as

    close to the vessel as possible. If lines

    cannot be blinded, they should bedisconnected and the open ends should be

    made safe by installing pipe caps/plugs,

    blind flanges, mud packing etc.

    (ix) Equipment properly drained /

    depressurised

    Equipment under pressure should be

    depressurised after isolation.This will be

    followed by draining / purging / water

    flushing etc. as the case may be.

    Equipment containing liquid hydrocarbonsshould be drained completely. There may

    be a possibility of overlooking liquidcollected in pockets or inaccessible areas

    such as level gauges, small nozzles /

    bleeders on vessels, laterals in pipework

    etc. All low point drains should be in

    unplugged condition.

    (x) Equipment properly steamed / purged

    Purging of equipment (vessels, pipelines,

    compressors etc.) is done to make them free

    of flammable hydrocarbons and toxic gases.

    Steam / Inert Gas is used for gas-freeing ofvessels and pipes in refineries and other

    locations. Other means of purging is bydisplacement with water and final traces of

    gas removed by air eductor. All high point

    vents should be unplugged while purging.

    Purging may be done continuously or in

    batches to conserve purge medium. It

    should be done in a systematic manner tocover the entire equipment/plant and

    continued till the concentration of toxic /

    flammable gas is lowered to allowable

    level.

    (xi) Equipment water flushed

    Water flushing is an effective means ofcooling, cleaning and even gas-freeing of

    equipment. It is also employed to removetraces of acids / chemicals. Equipment

    metallurgy must be considered before using

    sea / saline water. Sometimes, flushing with

    demineralised water would be necessary

    depending upon the metallurgy of the

    equipment.

    (xii) Gas / Oxygen deficiency test done and

    found OK

    Gas test includes measurement of :

    (a) Hydrocarbons by Explosimeter

    (b) Oxygen Deficiency by Oxygen Meter

    (c) Use of Calibrated Meters

    (d) Toxic gases like Hydrogen Sulphide,

    Carbon Monoxide, Nickel Carbonyl,

    Chlorine etc. by techniques like Indicator

    Tube method, Lead Acetate Paper etc.

    Measurement of lead in air is required forentering leaded tanks and personal

    protective equipment shall be worn beforeentering the tank. Octel/Ethyl regulations

    are to be followed while handling leaded

    gasoline tanks.

    Gas tests may be specified for vessel entry

    including open excavation where head of a

    man will be below ground level and when

    7/30

    (xxii) Precaution against public traffic taken

    In case hot work is to be carried out in

    close proximity of a public road, for

    example in the case of a trunk pipeline, itmay be desirable to block-off/divert public

    traffic for the duration of the job as aprecautionary measure.

    (xxiii) Clearance obtained for excavation from

    Technical/ concerned departments

    For any excavation work which may affectunderground sewers / telephone lines /

    cables / pipelines etc., Technical Services

    Dept. and / or other concerned departments,

    should be consulted for obtaining the co-

    ordinates and the depth to which excavation

    can be resorted to, without damaging the

    existing facilities. Markers should be put

    around the area where excavation can bedone and the depth can be indicated in the

    work permit.

    (xxiv) Clearance obtained for road cutting from

    Technical / Fire / concerned

    departments

    Since road cutting can hamper the

    movement of the fire vehicles, initial

    clearance should be obtained from FireDepartment and final approval from the

    higher designated authorities. If the road is

    wide, preferably the road should be cut halfat a time. Duration of road cut should be

    restricted as far as possible.

    (xxv) Clearance obtained for dyke cutting

    When the dyke is cut, any mishap in the

    tank farm can lead to a free flow of oil to

    outside the bund. A high level authority

    should be designated for authorising dyke

    cutting. Further, it should be ensured that

    dyke would be reconstructed in the shortest

    possible time. For example, if pipes have to

    be laid through the dykes, the pipes shouldbe laid quickly and plugged / capped so that

    the dyke can be closed. Thereafter, balanceof pipe fabrication can continue without any

    risk. Standby personnel should be available

    at the work site, who should possess a

    suitable size steel plate for blocking the

    opening in case of mishap/tank failure. If no

    work is undertaken in evening and night

    shifts, invariably the gap should be closed

    with steel plate and mud packing at the endof day's work.

    (xxvi) Checked Flame / Spark arrestor on

    mobile equipment

    No vehicle / engine without flame / spark

    arrestor is permitted in operating areas.

    (xxvii) Checked for oil / gas trapped behind

    lining in equipment

    Before undertaking hot jobs, a check should

    be done for oil / gas trapped behind lining

    in the equipment. Many a times oil / gas

    trapped behind lining depicts itself in the

    form of swelling and can be confirmed byway of drilling holes.

    (xxviii) Welding machine checked for safe

    location

    Welding machine should be located in a non-

    hazardous and ventilated area. It should

    have proper supervision while welding job

    is in progress. It should be switched off

    immediately on completion of the job.

    (xxix) Checked for earthing/return connection to

    the equipment being welded

    Before commencing the welding job, ensure

    that all the cables and earthing connections

    are as per the standard welding codes /

    practices.

    (xxx) Oxygen and Acetylene cylinders kept

    outside the vessel / tank

    While performing welding / cutting jobs in

    confined spaces like vessel / tank, ensure that

    oxygen and acetylene cylinders are kept

    outside and hoses for the gases are in goodworking condition, without any cracks or

    wrinkles. Also, hoses should be tightlysecured at both the ends i.e. the torch and the

    cylinder.
