1.0
Purpose
Suspend Work occurs when a hazard issue is discovered or anticipated. Work is stopped until mitigation measures can be implemented or a new work plan is developed.
2.0
Scope
Suspend work
is not meant to replace safety mitigation measures developed during work
planning. Rather it is used when an
unanticipated hazard of Risk Code <2
develops during work in progress.
This procedure does not take the place of “common-sense.” Suggestions, recommendations, or other forms of communications which takes place on a day-to-day basis between individuals, which provide “on the spot resolutions” to safety concerns, are not required to be formally documented.
