work permit

[REZANIKPAYAM]

When non-routine work must be performed on energized parts, a detailed work permit must be prepared before the work can start. The work permit must document the following elements and be approved by a responsible manager or safety officer:

• A description of the circuit and equipment to be worked on
• Justification for performing the work in an energized condition
• A description of the safe work practices to be employed
• Results of the shock hazard analysis
• Determination of shock protection boundaries
• Results of the flash hazard analysis
• The flash protection boundary
• The personnel protective equipment required for worker safety
• Restricted access of unqualified persons from the work area
• Evidence that the job briefing has been completed

My understanding, is that the permit to work, is to ensure the circuit is made safe, not just a paper exercise to allow live working.

I think he's referring to a HV/MV substation type environment, that or Petrochem!! A normal permit to work, wouldn't need to cover most of what REZ has laid out above... You'd be all day getting the paperwork filled in an signed!!...lol!!!
