The JSA combines all hazard management information into one document.
JSA can either be created by hand, or by using outputs from the JSA repository
(generic JSAs).
The JSA repository must be created on the Asset level in order to be accessible
by intranet to all employees.
Generic JSA for activities covered by the PTW Standard, which have been created
and archived in the JSA repository, may be made available to all people
concerned (inclusive Contractors) as paper documents. These can be printed off
as standard documents. It is essential that generic JSA are reviewed for each task
before a Permit is authorised.
The generic JSA must have some additional blank lines which can be filled in
by hand (if the case).
If a generic JSA is not available, then one shall be produced manually.
Where Generic JSAs are available for different types of works, these must be
adapted to specific local work conditions.

Understand the hazards and threats associated with the workplace/work (What
are the impacts to people, environment or assets? Obtain precise details of the
work to be undertaken. Are there 'process' hazards or hazards associated with the
material being handled involved in the work?)
Assess
Recognise the risks (What are the likelihood to cause harm? Is the risk involved as
low as reasonably practicable - ALARP? Consider the practical difficulties of
carrying out the work, if necessary consulting the discipline specialists
undertaking the work)
Control
Decide upon the barriers and control necessary to manage the risk thus providing
a safe working environment (What is required to prevent the likelihood of causing
harm from carrying out the work being realised? Are there any safer alternatives
either in terms of timing, or the intended method of performance of the work)
Recover
Agree on the recovery measures in the event that controls break down. The
Performer should carry out such assessment (in conjunction with his workforce)
and any other persons whose specialist knowledge may be needed.
Where available the Performer will take advantage of all hazard information in
Part 4 of the Safety Case prepared for the respective facility. This will assist him in
recognising hazards, threats, risks, barriers and precautions needed and response
mechanism should controls breakdown.

Annex no. 1
All OMV Petrom operating areas have a Hazardous Area Classification. The rules
governing Hot Work depend on the Classification of the area where work is to take
place.
NOTE : For the EP Hazardous Areas definition and examples see the Standard
Petrom EP FA HA 01 ST : Company Standard for Areas Classification. There, a
classification of existing hazardous areas for the main facilities pertaining to OMV
Petrom can be found. This classification shall be taken in consideration by the
person responsible to identify the risks and the mitigation measures.
HAZARDOUS AREA ZONE CLASSIFICATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS :
1.1.
ZONE 0
ZONE 1
ZONE 2
Hot work is not allowed in Zone 0 or in Zone 1 areas, unless there is no other
means of carrying out essential and/or safety related work.
If all alternatives to Hot Work for carrying out required work in a Zone 0 or Zone 1
area have been considered and ruled out as impractical, then the following action
must be taken:

Standard
Anexa 1
The process system, which resulted in the area being classified as a Zone 0
or Zone 1 area, must be shut down, isolated, depressurised and purged. This
will remove the hazard, which caused the area Zone Classification for the
work period.
A Hot Permit To Work shall then be raised and the work carried out subject
to the necessary special precautions specified on the permit.
RESTRICTIONS ON HOT WORK IN HAZARDOUS AREA ZONE 2
Hot work such as naked flame cutting, welding and grinding must not be carried
out in Zone 2 areas without shutting down and depressurising the adjacent
production facilities.
However, where specifically approved by the person in charge of approval
(Approver in PTW organisation) after consultation with his HSSE Manager at
base, a habitat may be built in order to create an environment within a Zone 2
area, in which Hot Work may be carried out without creating a fire hazard. Before
use, any such habitat must be examined and approved by the Approving
Authority or his delegate.
A Hot Permit To Work shall then be raised and the work carried out subject to the
necessary special precautions specified on the permit.
RESTRICTIONS ON HOT WORK IN NON - HAZARDOUS AREA ZONE
For Hot Work in these areas within 40 m radius surrounding a Zone 2, a Hot
Permit To Work is to be raised, and the work is to be carried out subject to the
necessary precautions, which are to be indicated on the Permit.
Designated hot work areas e.g. welding workshops do not need permits.
SUSPENSION OF HOT WORK
Hot Work tasks being undertaken are to be stopped if any of the following
activities are due to take place concurrently adjacent to the hot work:

conditions, all in the same time:
they are routinely performed and they are fully covered by specific operating
procedures and work instructions which include HSSE matters and eliminate the
cause which can trigger an incident
they do not require open flames inside a zone of 40 meters radius around

CONTROL OF ISOLATIONS
Electrical/Mechanical Isolation
General:
The electrical/mechanical isolation records (on separate Certificates) is meant to
prevent any danger associated to the electrical and/ or mechanical equipment and
shall be used whenever equipment/ machinery is mechanically switched off/ power
is turned off in order to carry on maintenance and/ or replacement works.
The electrical/ mechanical isolation works must ensure that the isolated
equipment/ machinery cannot start up accidentally. Isolation will be ensured by
locking and labelling. The label will contain the warning: DO NOT OPERATE, the
date, name and forename of the person who performed the isolation and the
number of the isolation Certificate. The label will be posted on the electric panel
where the isolation was done or on the mechanically isolated equipment.
If the electrical/ mechanical isolation of a safety system is needed, it will be
attempted to isolate only the respective part of the system and not the entire
system. In this case, the Approver will decide which the best isolation method is, so
that the system is affected as little as possible.
All Isolation Certificates must be attached to the respective Permit and their
numbers filled in Box 2 of the Permits.
Isolation Requirements
The following requirements apply to all isolations:
Competency
The Approver must ensure that the person nominated to do an Isolation/DeIsolation is competent for the task.
Electrical isolation and de-isolation must be completed ONLY by authorized
electrical persons
Recording
The Affected Area Responsible must record all isolated equipment on the Permit
Location Boards. This is done to ensure that equipment is only isolated or deisolated when it is safe to do so.
Electrical Systems
All electrical isolations are to be done in accordance with OMV Petrom specific
procedures and Romanian legal requirements

Mechanical Systems
Mechanical Isolations are to be done in accordance with OMV Petrom specific
procedures and Romanian legal requirements
Approval for Isolation
All isolations must be fully described in the Isolation Certificate.
All
documented Isolations are to be authorised by the Approver, who must define
the isolation point and sign the Box 4 of the Mechanical / Electrical Isolation
Certificate. All Isolations are to be approved in accordance with specific valid
OMV Petrom specific procedures and legal requirements
Isolation Process
All mechanical and electrical isolations and de-isolations must be carried out in
compliance with OMV Petrom specific procedures and Romanian legal
requirements
Energy Isolation Principle
Mechanical power covers all machinery that has a direct or indirect source of
power (fluid, electrical, pneumatic) as well having moving parts and stored
energy system that must be immobilised by physical means where possible.
Double block and bleed isolation principle must be used whenever and
wherever is possible
Electrical power isolation covers low voltage (less than 1000 V) electrical
isolations and high voltage (over 1000 V) electrical isolation.
Fluid power also includes the supply of compressed air (gas, liquids and
steam).

ensure it is left in a safe condition and equipment cannot be re-instated until all
work is properly completed;
- if the PTW is suspended, the status of the work site (eg: mechanical/electrical
isolated, under repairing etc) shall be visible displayed in a suitable location
(eg: control room or other onshore equivalent) and the padlock keys kept in a
secure place to ensure unauthorized access.
All persons authorized to carry out isolation works shall be assessed for their
competence prior assignment and they shall:
be suitably qualified;
have experience on the plant/equipment;
have received specific instructions on the plant, isolation method etc.
Their areas of responsibility shall be clearly defined.
The Performer must inspect work area after all isolations have been
completed and before starting the work.
Isolation
When the isolation has been approved by the Approver, the Performer is to take
the Permit and Isolation Certificate to the Affected Area Responsible or
appropriate Electrical Person, to request isolation.
The Affected Area Responsible (or Electrical Person for electrical isolations) is
then to:
Check the Permit Location Board to ensure that the isolation will not conflict
with any other work.
When satisfied that it is safe to isolate, DO the isolation, tagging and
securing of the valves/switches etc.
NOTE:
The Affected Area Responsible can nominate a competent person to perform
isolation/de-isolation, or, if is specified in his nomination (by the sector chief),
having the necessary competence, he can perform mechanical/electrical
isolation/de-isolation, as appropriate
Prove that the isolation has fully isolated the systems and equipment from
pressure/electricity
If part of the isolation is at a remote location under the control of another
Affected Area Responsible, submit (fax or other suitable communication
means are accepted) a copy of the Isolation Certificate to that location and
obtain a return copy with a signature that the remote isolation is known and
complete.
Sign the Isolation Certificate to confirm that isolation is complete. Then add
the marker and details of the isolation to the Permit Location Board.

Annex 6
Every valve, spade, switch, breaker etc. used in an isolation must be marked
with a tag label.
The tag label (See Annex no. 17) is to identify the number of the Isolation
Certificate authorising the isolation
Each valve/switch etc. used as part of more than one isolation scheme will have
a tag label for each Isolation Certificate. It is not necessary to fit additional
physical securing for each Isolation Certificate (except if this is required for
electrical isolations by other specific work instructions)
Securing of Isolations
Mechanical
All valves, etc. used as part of an isolation boundary are to be locked and
secured in the required position using a high visibility securing device, e.g.
red/white chain. The purpose of securing the isolation is to prevent valves from
being moved accidentally, and to show everyone in the area that the valve is
being used as part of isolation.
Electrical
All electrical isolations are to be secured where practicable, locked in the 'open'
position with SAFETY PADLOCKS or similar type locking devices
NOTE:
If the electrical apparatus or equipment at the point of isolation is not provided
with suitable means of locking or if SAFETY PADLOCKS cannot be applied, and
the circuit cannot be isolated by the withdrawal of fuses or links, then other
suitable precautions shall be taken to avoid DANGER to person whilst working
on the circuit.
Proving of Isolations
Whenever the isolation is complete, the isolator must prove that the area within
the isolation is fully isolated from pressure/electricity. This can normally be
done by checks at vent valves or by the checks to prove electrical equipment
dead with an APPROVED voltage testing device suitable for the rated voltage of
the circuit. The voltage testing device shall be checked before and after use to
check it is working correctly.

Annex 6
Check the Permit Location Board to ensure that the removal of the isolation
will not affect the isolation boundary for any other work.
When satisfied that the work is complete and that it is safe to de-isolate, do
the de-isolation (or ask a competent person to do it). If any of the
valves/switches etc. are part of another isolation boundary, the tag for the
current de-isolation is to be removed, but other tags are to be left in place.
The securing device must not be removed until all isolations on the
valve/switch have been removed.
When the isolation has been removed, compare the tags from the
valves/switches with those attached to the Permit/Isolation Certificate to
ensure the De-Isolation is complete. Then remove the marker and
description of the isolation from the Permit Location Board.

Annex 6
Permit must include a test, and the Permit must be suspended before testing
starts.
When the test is to start, the Affected Area Responsible is to de-isolate, using
the procedure, except that he is not to sign the Permit/Isolation Certificate until
the test is complete and the equipment is finally de-isolated. If a test shows that
more work is needed, and the equipment is to be re-isolated, the Permit is to be
Re-Validated for the work to be done.
This process is not to be used for Hydrostatic or Pneumatic Testing.
Transfer of Isolations between Permits
If a Permit reaches the end of its Validity Period and work is to continue under a
new Permit, the Isolations can be transferred between the two Permits. Box 6b
of the old Permit is to be signed by the Affected Area Responsible to show that
work is not complete.
If the isolation was authorised on a Mechanical Isolation Certificate or Electrical
Isolation Certificate, the number of the new Permit is to be written in the Work
continuing on Permit No. Box on the Certificate. This transfer can only be done
3 times. The Isolation Certificate number is to be written in Box 6b of the old
Permit. The Isolation Certificate is then attached to the new Permit.
Extended Period Isolations
Authorization of EPIs
The procedure for authorising and documenting EPIs is as follows:
a) Any Permits for work related to the isolation are to be Closed by the Affected
Area
Responsible.
The Affected Area Responsible is to sign Box 6b of the Permit and tick the
appropriate box if the work is complete or not, writing the Isolation
Certificate number in the space after Isolation retained under Cert. No.

activities can be avoided
b.
equipment which is isolated, and not available for operational use
c.
isolation boundaries around equipment which is being worked on, which must be
kept secure to avoid damage to equipment and injury to personnel
The Permit Rack is a rack into which Permits and Isolation Certificates can be placed. It
is divided into vertical sections to separate Permits for different sites (areas). These
vertical sections are divided horizontally to separate Permits at each different status, as
follows:
a)
Planned /

The fire watchman shall have at least one adequate fire-extinguisher (type and capacity
appropriate for the scope of work) and must know the location of the nearest firefighting equipment.
The fire watchman shall remain at the location of the hot work activity throughout the
works and shall permanently check the adjacent area in order to make sure that the
sparks produced during the works do not produce the ignition of combustible material
and do not affect any other equipment in the area.
If the Performer has no capability to assign this task to a member of the working team,
the Approver must designate one person acting as fire watchman in the area where hot
work activities take place.

Departments/Contractors who apply for Permits will obtain the appropriate forms from
Permit Issuing Points.
The Permit is divided into sections, called boxes in this Procedure. Where any box on
a Permit form is not used, it shall have a line drawn through it. Boxes must not be left
blank. Do not write information outside these boxes.
There are a number of tick boxes on the Permit (e.g. Haz Zone 0 ) to indicate area
classification, gas test options etc. These are to be ticked with clear ticks when
required.
Permits must be completed in ball-point pen, to ensure that all copies of the Permit can
be read easily. Pencil must not be used.
NO changes to the wording on a Permit are allowed. If changes are required, a new
Permit must be raised. The only exception is correcting small mistakes, where the
mistake is crossed out and the change initialled by the Performer and Approver.
Additions to the work scope are NOT ALLOWED under any circumstances. If an
addition to the work scope is required, a new Permit is to be raised. It is at the
Approvers discretion whether an additional period of time is required before he
authorises the new Permit and whether the additional work scope requires an
additional site visit.
4.16.1.2
Performer Details
The Performer can be the supervisor, the representative, or the chief of the team doing
the work, or can be the single worker who performs the job. He is the one who pass
through the permit application process.
The Performer will fill in the Boxes 1-3 of the Permit by entering the following
information into the appropriate boxes:
Application and Work Description
In Box 1 of the Permit, write:
the location of the Work (e.g. Compressor Station.), the Worksite (the exact place
in the Facility where the work is to be done; e.g. Compressor no.) and the exact
equipment which is subject of the work (e.g. Inlet valve on cylinder no..). In case
the work is to be done outside the boundaries of a facility (eg: work on pipelines

Approver must appoint a competent person
In case of Hot Works, two more sets of information shall be provided:
The Work Description must include enough information to allow Approvers to identify
the hazards involved in the work and the Precautions necessary to control them.
NOTE : General description of the work will not be accepted (eg: Compressor
repair, or Well. roll-out). The description must highlight the direct and effective
intervention over the above mentioned equipment (Check inlet valve on cilinder
no., or Replace coupling between driving engine and centrifugal pump..)
A single Permit must not be used for a sequence of separate equipment where each
equipment will be shut down, worked on and put back into service whilst the other
equipment remain in service. This is to avoid confusion over isolations. The only
exception allowed is work on electrical or electronic systems, such as lighting, which
can be isolated and worked on in sequence.

When Boxes 1-3 of the Permit have been filled in, the Performer is to take the
Permit and Certificates to the appropriate Approver for Authorisation.
NOTE : Approvers require notice of a Permit to allow time to discuss the work
and, for higher risk work, for examination of the worksite. For this reason, a
good work planning is required (it is recommended that the work schedule to
be prepared one day in advance). The Approver may allow shorter notice
periods for essential unplanned work.
Before Authorising the Permit, the Approver must check that:

Annex 14
For Hot Work Permits, the Approver may consider to examine the worksite, normally
with the Performer, to ensure the work is fully described on the Permit and that all
safety aspects have been considered. For Cold Work Permits the Approver need not
examine the worksite unless he considers this necessary.
Once he is satisfied that the Permit is correctly written for the work, the Approver is to
set an Authorisation period for the Permit and to fill the box 4 (for cold work permits),
respectively 4a (for hot work permits).
The Approver is then to write his name and position, and sign and date Box 4.
In case of Hot Works, the Performer is to take the Permit and Certificates to the
appropriate Civil Fire Brigade for Authorisation. The Authorisation process is identical
as described above.
For Hot Work permits, the Approver will fill and sign box 4a, the Civil Fire Brigade will
fill and sign box 4b. Both authorisations are mandatory.
Once a Permit has been Authorised by the Approver, the only changes that can be
made to it are the addition of new controls to the JSA. These changes are only to be
made by the Approver or the Affected Area Responsible. Deletion of controls is not
allowed. If any changes to controls are made, the Performer is to be informed.
The Performer is then responsible for ensuring that the rest of the work team, or
himself, is fully briefed on the work content, precautions required and the requirements
of the JSA.
NOTE : NO ONE MAY AUTHORISE A PERMIT FOR WORK THAT THEY WILL DO
THEMSELVES
4.16.2.2
The total workload at each location will be reviewed at the daily planning meeting for
the Sector. This shall identify and eliminate any possible conflict situations. However, it
is most important that the Approver looks in detail at the Permit requests for the
following day, and eliminates any safety confliction situation.
Each day the Approver is to review the work for each location for the following day,
using:
Lists from Performers showing which Permits have not been completed and will be
required the following day.

The Approver is to identify any potential conflicts between activities, and decide which
Permits may be validated for work the following day.
The Approver is to re-check the list of Validated Permits for each location before start
of work on the following day, in that situation when the planning process allows the
preparation of the works and, respectively, the issuing, authorisation and validation in
advance of the respective permits
Hot Work Permits in a Hazardous Area will only be validated if the Affected Area
Responsible will remain at the worksite when work is underway.
There will be a further check for confliction situations by the Affected Area
Responsible, when Permits are validated. (See section 4.16.4)
4.16.3 Briefing of the Performer (work party)
Permits must be Validated by the Affected Area Responsible, before work can start.
Before Validating a Permit, the Affected Area Responsible must carry out a check for
safety conflicts which may occur between activities. To do this he must:
Check that there are no other conflicting activities, which may be operational,
covered by other Permits, or covered by Handover Certificates etc.
When the Affected Area Responsible is sure that the work will not cause a conflict, he
is to convince himself that the worksite is safe for the work. To do this, he must:
Where required, examine the worksite with the Performer to ensure that the
Performer preparations, as required by the JSA, have been completed to make the
worksite safe for work to start.

results recorded in Gas Test Record form.
Ensure that the Performer understands the work and the precautions which are
required.
When satisfied that it is safe for work to start, the Affected Area Responsible is to
Validate the Permit.
Hot Work Permits should only be Validated if the Affected Area Responsible will remain
in the area of the work when work is underway.
4.16.5 Acceptance by the Performer - Box 5b
When satisfied that the worksite is safe, the Performer is to sign Box 5b of the Permit in
the presence of the Affected Area Responsible.
NOTE : The Performer cannot be the same person with Affected Area Responsible
The Performer has the right to refuse to sign the Permit Acceptance until he is satisfied
that the worksite is safe.
By signing the Permit the Performer is agreeing to the following:
That the JSA will be complied with, by understanding and applying of the control
measures proposed by himself, but also the acceptance and applying the
supplementary control measures, proposed by the Approver or the Affected Area
Responsible, whichever the Performer is responsible and competent to apply.
NOTE : The control measures for which the Performer is not responsible and/or
competent to apply (egg: electrical isolation, free access-evacuation ways, initial gas
detection etc) must be applied by the Affected Area Responsible and the Performer
must ensure they were applied. All considered measures must be filled in the JSA
and/or the Permit
That the Permit will always be displayed at the worksite when work is in progress.

The Performers Permit acceptance signature must appear on both the Worksite and
Permit Rack copies of the Permit. This means that:
When work is in a facility, the Affected Area Responsible shall put the Worksite and
Permit Rack copies (white and yellow) of the Permit together for the Performer to
sign.
Where the worksite is remote from the Permit Issue Point, and a worksite
examination before work starts is required, the Affected Area Responsible is to take
the Worksite and Permit Rack copies (white and yellow) of the Permit to the
worksite where the Performer can sign them.
Where the worksite is remote from the Permit Issue Point, and a worksite
examination before work starts is NOT required, the Performer is to sign the
YELLOW copy of the Permit before leaving the Permit Issue Point, to indicate that
he intends to start work. He is to sign the worksite copy (WHITE) of the Permit at
the worksite, when he is convinced that it is safe for work to start
The Affected Area Responsibles verbal approval is to be obtained before one
Performer hands over responsibility for a Valid Permit to another Performer. The new
Performer is to accept the Permit requirements by signing the next line in box 5b.
When remote sites are involved, the new Performer is to contact the Affected Area
Responsible for verbal approval and sign the worksite copy (white), the Affected Area
Responsible is then to write the name of the new Performer in box 5b of the Permit
Rack copy (yellow).
During the handover briefing, the outgoing Performer shall brief the new Performer on
the topics suggested in Section 4.16.7 (briefing of the work party).
No work can take place under the Permit until:
The Permit has been Validated.

Throughout the work, the Performer is responsible for ensuring that all members of the
work team comply with the requirements of the Permit. The Performer must remain at,
or in close visual contact with the worksite at all times.
Note that the JSA is the most useful tool to ensure work is carried out safely at the
work location. It needs to be applied diligently at every stage of the job.
4.16.9 Gas Test Record
Gas Testing and Monitoring are to be done as required by Box 3 of the Permit.
Any Authorised Gas Tester may carry out gas tests required during the day.
The results of the Gas Test are to be recorded in the Gas Test Record form, except
for Confined Space results, which are to be recorded on the Confined Space
Entry Certificate.
Gas Tests are to be done before work starts, and at the frequency stated on the
Permit. An extra test is required before work re-starts, if the worksite is left
unattended for more than one hour.
In addition to Gas Testing, continuous monitoring may be required. This will
have been specified in Box 3 of the Permit. A Performer may supervise work for
which continuous gas monitoring is required without being licensed as a Gas
Tester. He must, however, have been trained in the use of the gas detector.
If gas or other hazardous atmosphere is found at any stage, work must stop. The
Permit is to be suspended as described in Section 4.16.10, below. The Approver
must be informed immediately.
