Appendix T2 Stop Work Order
for Safety Procedure |
||
|
|
|||
A Stop Work Order is initiated when an imminent danger has developed, a hazard issue is discovered and a Task Hazard Analysis (THA) reveals a post mitigated Risk Code >3, observed activity appears to represent imminent danger, or individuals cannot resolve a hazard issue in an acceptable manner.
A Stop Work Order is not meant to replace safety mitigation
measures developed during work planning. Rather it is primarily used when an
unanticipated hazard (Risk Code >3) 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 and provide “on the spot
resolutions” to safety concerns, are not required to be formally documented.
This appendix is written in coordination with ES&H Manual Chapter 3330 Stop Work and Re-Start for Safety Program, and all relevant content within the chapter applies to the procedure outlined in this appendix.
NOTE: Management authority may be delegated
to a task qualified Jefferson Lab employee at the discretion of the responsible
manager.
