3 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In most work situations a risk assessment will identify all significant risks and how they are to be satisfactorily controlled without the need for specific written authorisation to commence work. However, in some situations the risk has been shown through experience to be particularly high if strict controls are not in place, and in such situations a permit to work may be introduced as an additional control measure. 1.2 A Permit to Work is a formal system of controls, using documentation and supervision, that is intended to safeguard the health and safety of workers (and others) involved in particularly hazardous activities. Permits are introduced to bring formal and specific control to high risk operations and governed by legislation, by ensuring that the work site, equipment and procedures have been confirmed as being satisfactory before work commences and when the work is complete. 1.3 All permits must be time-bound to allow for appropriate review of the work and to ensure that the required level of control is maintained 1.4 The permit to work system does not replace the need for suitable and sufficient risk assessments or for method statements from contractors, consultants and directly employed labour, but is intended to work in conjunction with these documents. 1.5 Failure to adhere to the permit to work system is a serious breach of health and safety policy and may be subject to disciplinary procedures. 1.6 The Health and Safety Executive identify the following required for a permit to work Type of permit i.e. Hot Work, Asbestos etc Unique Permit Number Location of Work Details of work to be carried out Identification of hazards Precautions required al Protection Equipment required Authorisation to commence work Any extension of permit time Permit return Permit Cancellation 2.0 Conditions for a permit The types of work that will be subject to a Permit to Work System include: Work at Height: High level (especially in common areas) Roof Work Work involving access to plant rooms. (Limitation of Assess) Confined space entry High and Low voltage electrical work Work involving excavations Hot Work Working with Asbestos 3
4 A permit to work will not be issued to contractors for works on the campus that are within a clearly identified site from which staff, students and non-authorised visitors are excluded and for which the contractor is deemed to be entirely responsible. 3.0 Responsible The responsible person is responsible for co-ordinating and administrating the area for which they have been appointed, they will act as the focal point for the authorised persons within their area 4.0 Authorised Within their area of appointment, the authorised person is responsible for implementing, administering, monitoring and auditing the application of this policy and its procedures. The number of authorised persons available to issue and sign a Permit to Work will vary depending on the type of permit required and whether it is for Contractors or Maintenance Staff. Shift Supervisors, and Estate Managers will be defined as Authorised s 5.0 Competent s The use of competent s is a prime requirement of the Permit to Work system. Although competency has never been defined in either the case or statute law, the Health & Safety at work regulations define a person as being Competent when that person: Has sufficient training and experience or knowledge as to enable them to assist in securing compliance, on the part of the employer, within the necessary safety legislation and maintenance procedures Plymouth University expects that persons designated as Competent to have had: Valid and certificated training, where this is deemed necessary, including an element of health and safety appreciation, relevant to the permit issued Experience of the work to be carried out Knowledge of Permit to Work procedures 6.0 Maintenance Staff When maintenance staff need to carry out work that requires a permit, it will be issued and signed by the relevant authorised person 7.0 Contractors (inc Consultants) When a contractor requires a permit they shall provide the relevant Estate Manager with a suitable and sufficient risk assessment and a method statement for the works to be undertaken. This information should, whenever possible be submitted at least 2 working days before the start of the work and will allow the authorised person sufficient time to assess the work in detail. The exception to this will be 4 working days for confined space access requests. For work involving service maintenance contractors, method statements shall be provided for specific tasks at the beginning of the contract and reviewed and re-issued annually. 4
5 8.0 Issuing a Permit to Work The following procedures should be followed when issuing a permit to work: A permit should be issued by the authorised person and its number logged. Every permit will have a unique number The Authorised person should ensure that no other permits have been issued that will have an impact on the one required The permit to be completed correctly with all the relevant information regarding the work to be carried out, including the exact location and the nature of the work All copies to be signed by the relevant authorised person and the person carrying out the work. The authorised person must satisfy themselves that the people carrying out the works understand the implications and conditions listed on the permit The correct copy of the permit is to be displayed prominently at the work place The precise time limits for which the permit is valid are to be indicated and observed at all times If issued to a contractor or consultant the company name is to be included If issued to a contractor, the contractors supervisor is to be identified With the exception of limitation of access and Roof works, all permits must be signed at work location No one can issue a permit to themselves 9.0 Monitoring the Work As far as is reasonably practicable the authorised person shall be responsible for monitoring the work at intervals, to ensure that the competent person is adhering to the conditions of the permit 10.0 Permit Time Expired Permits are only valid for the dates and times as indicated on the permit. The authorised person shall ensure the person in charge of the works is aware of the limitations of the permit. On permit expiry, the works supervisor shall be responsible for: Instructing the operatives to stop working and withdraw from the works area Returning the display permit to the originating authorised person Signing the relevant section of the display permit indicating whether the works are complete or not and confirming that all the works have ceased and all operatives have withdrawn from the area Where the contractor s supervisor indicates that the works are incomplete, the authorised person shall accompany the supervisor to the works area to ensure that: Works have ceased The area has been left in a satisfactory and safe condition When the authorised person has confirmed that the above have been satisfied, they shall: Sign the permit to acknowledge cancellation Inform necessary parties that the permit has been withdrawn Forward completed permit (display copy) to the responsible person for filing. File their copy of the permit ( Permits should be kept for at least twelve months) The authorised person shall then be required to issue another permit for the works if required 5
6 11.0 Completed Work When the work has been completed the authorised person will inspect the site to ensure that: The works have ceased All tools and equipment have been removed All rubbish/arising s have been removed The works area has been left in a satisfactory and safe condition The permit is signed and closed Forward completed permit (display copy) to the responsible person for filing. File their copy of the permit ( Permits should be kept for at least twelve months) 12.0 Out of Hours Works Whenever possible, work that requires a permit to work should be carried out only during normal working hours. However, there may be occasions when this is not possible and the authorised person must ensure that they are available to monitor the contractor or staff throughout the duration of the permit irrespective of when it takes place. Under no circumstances will a permit be issued ahead of time. Prior arrangements to be made with Site Manager & Plymouth University Estates Office Permit to work Designations Working at Height including roof access A permit to work will be required for specific tasks conducted at height, and cases where the risk assessment process identifies that the work is high risk and additional level of control is required. The Directorate of Estates and Facilities Management Health and Safety Policy for Working at Height Code of Practice must be adhered to at all times. A permit to work is required for the following specific tasks conducted at height: Roof Access Work on fragile surfaces Work conducted at high levels in communal areas A comprehensive list of Risk Assessments for all roofs requiring a permit to work is available from the Maintenance Office. Please refer to the Working at Height Code of Practise for the circumstances where a comprehensive Work at Height Rescue Plan will apply. Note: A working at heights permit to work confer a right to work at height, they do not give permission or rights to carry out works that are subject to other permits to work, e.g. hot works. 6
7 13.2 limitation of Access All works within plant rooms, service ducts and risers shall be subject to a limitation of access permit. Plant rooms etc. are under the control of the maintenance section and any works carried out by contractors either directly for maintenance services or via projects will require a limitation of access permit. This limitation of access permit will allow job specific entry to plant room s, services ducts and other service areas to undertake the works detailed on the permit. The Contractor taking control or working in the plant rooms agrees to take responsibility for returning it to the maintenance staff in a clean and tidy condition which includes removal of all rubbish and waste, this will include the issue of waste transfer certificate as required. The following procedure should be used when issuing limitation of access permits. Inspect plant room jointly with contractor and Estates works manager and agree conditions of plant room. Take photographs if necessary. Issue Permit. On completion the works inspect plant room with the contractor. Sign permit off as works complete Confined Spaces All access to and works within a confined space are subject to a permit to work procedure. Where works are to be undertaken within the confined space a job specific risk assessment is required to be developed that will provide the necessary information for a SSOW to be put in place to significantly reduce and manage any residual risk. It is to be noted that entry into a confined space requires the preparation of suitable and sufficient rescue arrangements. The use of emergency services is not suitable as the primary arrangement in this respect. The regulatory definition given for a Confined Space is "any place, including chamber, tank, vat, silo, pit, trench, pipe, sewer, flue, well or other similar space in which, by virtue of its enclosed nature, there arises a reasonable foreseeable specified risk". The "specified risk" means a risk of Serious injury to any person at work arising from a fire or explosion The loss of consciousness of any person at work arising from an increase in body temperature. The loss of consciousness or asphyxiation of any person at work arising from gas, fume, vapour or the lack of oxygen. The drowning of any person at work arising from an increase in the level of a liquid The asphyxiation of any person at work arising from a free flowing solid or the inability to reach a respirable environment due to entrapment by a free flowing solid. All known confined spaces and controlled areas on all Plymouth University properties have been identified, risk assessed and included on a register of confined spaces. 7
8 These have individual category and identification numbers; the category number will reflect the category of the space with regard to the degree of risk represented by that space, the identification number will be used to reference the applicable risk assessment for that unique space. The Confined Spaces categorisation of 1, 2 and 3, is dependent upon a number of risk factors, category 1 is considered to be high risk, category 2 is considered to be medium risk, Category 3 is considered to be low risk. In addition a category 4, Controlled Areas, has been included within the confined spaces Code of Practice to cover those areas which are substantially enclosed but fall outside the scope of the confined space definition, but common sense dictates should be controlled. The regulations are clear and state that where reasonably practicable; entry into a confined space should be avoided if another method of achieving the purpose of the work is possible. Therefore all employees and contractors working on behalf of Plymouth University will in the first instance explore and consider the possibility of completing their work without the need to enter any University confined space High Voltage A Permit is not to be issued for an item of equipment which is already the subject of another Permit to Work or a Sanction for Test on live equipment. Authorised s undertaking tasks requiring Permits to Work are to issue them to themselves or preferably to each other. The issue and cancellation (or loss) of every permit is to be recorded in the central high voltage files in the dedicated Authorised (s) Office. A Permit to Work is to state precisely and legibly: The location and identity of the equipment that has been made safe and upon which the work is to be performed. Details of the work which is to be carried out. The specific point(s) of isolation and earthing and. That Caution and Danger Signs are displayed where required. That safety locks are fitted at points of isolation. Any special instructions or safety measures. Prior to issuing a Permit, the Authorised person is to: Physically identify to the prospective Competent the equipment on which the work is to be undertaken. Show the prospective Competent the safety arrangements at the points of isolation and at the places of work. Draw the attention of the prospective competent persons to any special instructions of safety measures noted in the Permit. Demonstrate to the satisfaction of the prospective competent person that the equipment is dead and safe to work on. Prior to accepting the Permit to Work, the prospective competent person, having understood the work to be undertaken, is to initial the schematic diagram and sign the switching schedule, thus rendering the documentation valid for the defined work. The acceptance of a Permit to Work makes the competent person personally responsible for directly supervising or undertaking the defined work. The Competent person is therefore not to leave the working place or to undertake other work while the defined work is in progress. During 8
9 any temporary absence of the Competent person from the working place, the work is to be temporarily suspended and adequate safety precautions taken until the work is resumed. Having completed the work and having withdrawn all persons, instruments and tools from the working place, the Competent is to sign, and return the original Permit to Work to the Authorised. The Authorised is then to cancel the Permit to Work by destroying the original and signing the duplicate retained in the pad Low Voltage For Complex Circuits fed by more than one source A LV Permit to Work is not to be issued for an item of equipment which is already the subject of another Permit to Work or a Sanction for Test on live equipment. Any LV Authorised undertaking a task that requires a Permit to Work must have the PTW issued to them by another Authorised. The issue and cancellation (or loss) of every permit is to be recorded in the central low voltage file in the LV Authorised (s) Office. A LV Permit to Work is to state precisely and legibly: The location and identity of the equipment that has been made safe and upon which the work is to be performed Details of the work which is to be carried out The specific point(s) of isolation and earthing That Caution and Danger Notices are displayed where required That safety locks are fitted at points of isolation Any special instructions or safety measures Prior to issuing a LV Permit to Work, the Authorised person is to: Physically identify to the prospective Competent (s) the equipment on which the work is to be undertaken. Show the prospective Competent (s) the safety arrangements at the points of isolation and at the places of work. Draw the attention of the prospective Competent (s) to any special instructions of safety measures noted in the Permit. Demonstrate to the satisfaction of the prospective Competent (s) that the equipment is dead and safe to work on. Prior to accepting the Permit to Work, the prospective Competent, must demonstrate to the Authorised that they have understood the work to be undertaken and initial the safety documentation, thus rendering the documentation valid for the defined work. The acceptance of a Permit to Work makes the Competent personally responsible for directly supervising or undertaking the defined work. The Competent is therefore not to leave the working place or to undertake other work while the defined work is in progress. During any temporary absence of the Competent from the working place, the work is to be temporarily suspended and adequate safety precautions taken until the work is resumed. 9
10 Having completed the work and having withdrawn all persons, instruments and tools from the working place, the Competent is to sign, and return the original Permit to Work to the Authorised. The Authorised is then to cancel the Permit to Work by destroying the original and signing the duplicate retained in the pad Work Involving Excavations All grounds works on all University sites shall be subject to a permit to dig, which shall only be issued by the authorised person. A Permit to Dig is required for any excavation deeper than 150mm and can only be issued from the Estates Office. The Risk Assessment & Method Statement should be sufficiently developed for the contractor to proceed. Excavations will be carried out in accordance with all relevant legislation, but in particular The Construction (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1996 HSG 150 Health and Safety in construction HSG 185 Health and Safety in Excavations: Be safe and shore HSG 41 Avoiding Danger from Underground Services Plymouth Universities Dig Safely Policy Re-instatement to be completed to Highway specification. Any existing Services discovered during the services to be marked and filled to service providers specification Hot Work Hot work is defined as work that involves temperature that could give rise to risks of fire and ignition of flammable substances and combustible materials, and includes work where there is a naked flame or generation of sparks, smoke or fumes The following works shall be a permit to work on all University sites: Use of brazing and soldering equipment Bitumen Boilers Electric Arc Welding Gas welding or cutting Hot Air Welding Disk cutting in confined spaces where there is a risk of explosion The duration of the permit to work will be no longer than a maximum of one working day, subject to the exceptions below All work must cease at least 1 hour before the end of the working day and the permits are location specific Where work lasts for more than one day i.e. Re-roofing with a bitumen boiler, the authorised person signing on behalf of the Estates Services may issue a permit covering up to 5 consecutive week days The permit to work shall not apply to hot works in Brunel W6 workshop Before the permit is signed, the authorised person shall inspect the working area for the following control measures 10

Arrangements are in place to carry out a check of the area at least 1 hour before the cessation of the work each day That the contractors staff are fully aware of the fire procedures for the area in which they are working 13.8 Asbestos A permit to work is required for any work on Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) or where there is a risk that ACM s may be disturbed during the course of any works. (Note: The Asbestos survey and asbestos database must be consulted prior to starting any work). Any contractor or subcontractor working with ACM s must have the appropriate industry recognised insurance and training. Copies of these documents must be issued to the University prior to any work starting. University employed personal are not authorised to work on ACM,s. Consultants acting on behalf of the University to project manage the removal or work on ACM s must also have the appropriate industry recognised insurance, training and provide evidence of this prior to starting work. The Project Manager instructing the work will be responsible for issuing the Permit to Work in conjunction with the Asbestos Manager. Before a permit is issued the following must be in place (see Permit to Work with Asbestos for detailed requirements): An appropriate risk assessment has been carried out 11
