Appendix T1 Suspend
Work for Safety Procedure |
||
|
|
|||
Suspend
work occurs when a hazard issue
is discovered or anticipated that endangers individuals,
equipment, or the environment. Work is stopped until
mitigation measures are implemented or a new, safer, work plan is developed.
|
Perform any emergency response actions required prior to performing the process steps outlined in this procedure. |
Suspend work is used when an unanticipated hazard issue develops during
work in-progress. All parties agree with
the mitigation measures; but work must be suspended until the measures are
implemented.
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 and provide “on the spot
resolutions” to safety concerns, are not required to be formally documented.
This appendix’s process steps are performed in coordination with
ES&H Manual Chapter
3330 Stop Work and Re-Start for Safety Program.
Step
1:
Identify Concern or
Operational
Upset
·
Does the
concern pose an operational upset? Imminent danger? Risk Code >3?
o
Yes:
§ Implement containment actions or emergency response procedures.
§ Go to ES&H Manual Chapter
3330 Appendix T2 Stop Work Order for Safety Procedure.
o
No – Go to Step 2.
·
Is this an
off-normal operation or failure of equipment that poses a imminent danger to
laboratory operations?
o
No – If an “on-the-spot” solution can be implemented, do so, and go to Step
4.
o
Yes – Work is suspended.
§ The worker notifies their supervisor/Subcontracting Officer’s
Technical Representative
(SOTR)/sponsor that a Suspend Work Order has been initiated.
§ The identifier notifies their supervisor/SOTR/sponsor that they have initiated a Suspend Work Order.
§ Go to Step 3.
Step
3:
Task Hazard
Analysis (THA) Required
·
Worker’s
supervisor/SOTR/sponsor
completes a THA for the identified concern.
o
Outcome
Risk Code <2 – Does this
resolve the issue? The initiator must
agree that the identified concern has been adequately addressed.
§ Yes
– Go to ES&H Manual Chapter
3330 Appendix T4 Work Re-Start Procedure.
§ No – Stop Work. See ES&H Manual
Chapter 3330 Appendix T2 Stop Work Order for Safety Procedure.
o
Outcome
Risk Code >3 – Stop Work
Order initiated. Go to ES&H
Manual Chapter 3330 Appendix T2 Stop Work Order for Safety Procedure.
Worker’s supervisor/SOTR/sponsor
ensures that implemented safety measures continue to be used.
Step
5:
Feedback and Lessons Learned
Worker’s supervisor/SOTR/sponsor provides Jefferson Lab relevant information regarding the Suspend Work activities using the Jefferson Lab’s Corporate Operating Experience (COE) website.
