Routine work
Designated task or activities where the boundaries of the scope of work are well defined and unchanging. Such activities are recurring and identified as having sufficient potential hazard to require a Preplanned Permit, Certificate or Checklist to carry out the designated task.
Non-Routine Work
Task or activities where, because of the nature of work, a unique permit to work shall be issued.
Procedure
Carry out a survey where work permits are required on site.
List all those personnel authorized to issue and sign off work permits. Use form 3100 attached.
Train everyone concerned with work permits:
It is your responsibility as a permit acceptor to:
understand and carry out the work to be done
be in line control and remain in direct line supervision of the work whilst it is being arried out.
ensure that you understand the work procedures, the potential hazards and safety precautions and comply with the permit conditions.
stop work immediately and notify the permit issuer if there is any change in the permit conditins.
check inspect, confarm, before you sign accepting the permit.
if in doubt ask. Do not guess.
after completing the work the hand back procedure must completed to protect you from future liability.
Planning: use checklist
Preparatory work: to create safe working condition found from checklist 3107 before issue of permit or preplanned permit.
Execution: Formally issue permit in Form No. 3100, work to be monitored & supervised to ensure that the safe working conditions are maintained.
Hand Back: the permit to be formally handed back to the issuer.
Regularly check that work permits are completed correctly and field for 12 months.
During use a copy of the permit must remain with the person doing the work or team leader.
Conclusion
Within two weeks of the completion of all 3 initial inspections, you will receive the reports and remediation requirements identified through the initial inspections. You will be offered one week to provide comments on the reports to the Chief Safety Engineer (CSI). The CSI will then finalize the reports and necessary remediations. The final report and remediations plan will be concluded in consult Safe Working Procedure
with you as the owner, the signatory brands produced at your factory, and the engineering team.

Fire Fighting Equipment Manufacturers – Combustion caused due to chemical reaction between Oxygen, Combustible material and Heat is called FIRE. It is our one of the most precious gifts from the nature. The civilization of mankind started just after the invention of fire. Now fire has become a part and parcel of our day to day life. We can not think of our life without fire. But sometime such a precious gift can become harmful. It may destroy anything even the whole world..
Basic method of stopping or putting out FIRE is to remove any one of the three components (OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL, and HEAT) which are responsible in making of FIRE.
The simple method is a) Cooling
Blanketing
Beating
We kow that HEAT is one of the components of FIRE. If we can cool down HEAT then there won’t be any FIRE. This can be don by water or any non-flammable liquid or by use of water type EXTINGUISHER.
OXYGEN is also responsible for FIRE. Therefore O2 has to be removed to put out the fire. This can be done by covering the FIRE i.e. Blanketing. Even Beating effects removes the O2. These effects can be done by the use of appropriate FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
There are four types of Fire:
Solid Fire
Inflammable Liquid Fire
Electrical Fire
Explosive Fire
We can fight these different types of fires in different ways:
Solid fire usually occurs on solid materials such as cloths, paper, wood, rubber etc. Normally we can use water to extinguish this type of fire. If the burning material is small in size then it can be removed. We can also put out fire by hitting it with a wet towel or cover it with a wet blanket.
Inflammable Liquid fire usually occurs in oil fields, petrol pumps, petrol dumps etc. It is very hard to put out this type of fire as because the burning liquid keeps flowing and it burns whatever comes in it’s path. Water should not be used because these types of inflammable liquid are lighter than water and it helps burning the liquid. We should use sand or foam type extinguisher.
Electrical Fire is caused due to short circuit in the electrical wiring or in any electrical machines. In case of electrical fire we should never use water or water type extinguisher. If any water-based extinguisher used then chances of being electrocuted is very high.To fight this type of fire we should :
put off the circuit breakers,
put of the main switch, use powder type extinguisher or Hallon or Carbon-dioxide extinguisher
Explosive fires usually occur due to explosion of pressurized cylinders. Corrosive Material, Bomb, or Gas cylinders etc. In these cases of this type of fire we should follow the methods as prescribed for 2 and 3 judging the situation.
Fire Safety Plan
When there is a fire then there is smoke. The burning material gives Carbon Di Oxide. In case of rubber or any other synthetic material it omits carbon mono Oxide. Inhaling of carbon Mono Oxide is fatal. If a person inhales carbon Mono Oxide for more than 20 seconds, he may die. Therefore when there is fire we should –
Try not to inhale smoke as fire safety plan
Use cloth or wet towel to cover mouth and nose
Try to stay down towards floor as much as possible
(If using O2 extinguisher) do not inhale the smoke
Open all windows to let the smoke out
Don’t rush together towards the exit
Move in a line
Use emergency exits or any available exits
