1. Work Permit  
  Work Permit shall always be obtained for any potential hazardous work. Hazardous work generally includes confined space entry, work on energized systems, ground disturbance, and hot work. This work permit will:  
 
  define a scope of work
  identify hazards and potential risks
  establish control measures to eliminate or mitigate hazards
  link the work to other associated work permits or simultaneous operations and have authorization from responsible personnel
  communicate the above information to all involved parties
  ensure that adequate control has been performed to normal operations
 
                  
  2. Working at Heights  
  Performing a work at height of 2 meters (6 feet) or higher shall not be proceeded, unless:  
 
  A fixed platform is used with guard or hand rails that have been verified by a competent personnel and using proper steel scaffolds, as per VICO Engineering Standard (VES) - 3600.
  Guard rails shall be erected to an acceptable standard. Should it be not possible to provide guardrails, an approved safety harness must be worn.
  All arrest equipment used should be capable to support at least 2,275 kg (5,000 Ibs) static load per person and should have:
 
   
  a proper anchor mounted, preferably overhead
  full body harness using double latch-self locking snap hooks at each connection
  synthetic fibred lanyards
  a shock absorber
   
  All arrest equipment shall have a limit of free fall to 2 meters (6 feet) length or less and a visual inspection shall be completed.
  Any damaged equipment shall be taken out from the site for repair
  Only competent personnel should perform the work.
 
  Ensure there are no falling objects and materials. Do not leave loose tools on elevated walkways, and use the chin strap on your safety helmet.  
                     
  3. Energy Isolation  
  Any isolation of energy systems; mechanical, electrical, process, hydraulic and others, shall not be proceeded, unless:  
 
  the method of energy isolation and discharge of stored energy are approved and executed by a competent personnel
  any stored energy is discharged
  a system of locks and tags is utilized at isolation points
  a test is conducted to ensure the isolation is effective
  isolation effectiveness is periodically monitored
 
  Are you trained and competent to perform this work?
You have an obligation to stop the work if it's unsafe.
 
                    
     
  4. Vehicle Safety  
  Vehicles shall not be operated unless:  
 
  vehicle is inspected and confirmed to be in a safe working order
  trained and certified drivers shall only operate their assigned vehicles
  number of passengers should not exceed the manufacturer's vehicle seats
  seat belts should be installed and worn by all passengers
  drivers are prohibited to use hand-held cell phones and radios while driving
 
     
  5. Ground Disturbance  
  Work that involves a man-made cut, cavity, trench or depression in the ground surface formed by earth removal shall not be proceeded, unless:  
 
  a hazard assessment at the work site has been completed by a competent personnel
  all underground hazards, i.e., pipelines, electric cables, etc., have been identified, located and if necessary, isolated
 
            
  Requirements to enter an excavation:  
 
  any personnel should posses a permit to enter confined space
  ground movement should be controlled by installing shoring, sloping, benching, etc
  monitor ground and environmental conditions
 
                   
  6. Confined Space Entry  
  Entrance into any confined space shall not be proceeded, unless:  
 
  all other requirements have been ruled out
  permit is issued by the authorized personnel and shall be communicated to involved parties
  only competent personnel shall do the work
  isolate all sources of energy
  testing of atmospheres has been performed, verified and repeated as often as defined by the risk assessment
  stand by personnel shall be stationed and equipped with retrieval equipment, rescue procedures and proper breathing
apparatus if required.
 
               
  7. Lifting Operations  
  Lifting using the cranes, hoists, or other mechanical lifting devices shall not be commenced, unless:  
 
  a lifting assessment has been completed
  lifting method and equipment has been determined by a competent personnel
  operators for the mechanical power and lifting devices are trained and certified
  the load rigging is carried out by a competent personnel
  lifting devices and equipment have been certified within the last 12 months (at a minimum)
  load does not exceed dynamic and/or static capacities of the lifting equipment
  any safety devices installed on lifting equipment are in good condition
  all lifting devices and equipments have been visually examined prior using by a competent personnel
 
                
  8. Management of Change (MOC)  
  Work arising from temporary and permanent changes to organization, personnel, systems, process, procedures, equipment, products, materials or substances, as well as laws and regulations shall not be proceeded, unless a Management of Change process is completed, where applicable, to include:  
 
  risk assessment conducted by responsible personnel impacted by the change
  development of a work plan that clearly specifies the timescale for the change and any control measures to be implemented regarding:
 
   
  equipments, facilities and process
  operations, maintenance, inspection procedures
  training, personnel and communication
  documentation
 
  authorization of the work plan by responsible personnel through completion.
