These are designed to be used by the people performing work, ensuring controls/safeguards are verified prior to stating work 13 Checks covering:
Confined Space
Driving
Energy Isolation
Hot Work
Safe Mechanical Lifting
Working at Height
De-isolation and re-energizing
Excavation
Man-riding
Working around Mobile equipment
Energized/Live Electrical systems
Working Near Water
Rig Floor Tubular Handling
Note: Checks are activity based, and therefore you do not see a Check for every single Rule Life-Saving Rules
Clearly communicate the lifesaving controls/ safeguards to be in place
Empower worker with ‘Stop Work Authority’ Start Work Checks
A last verification before work begins to confirm life saving controls/safeguards are in place
Worker positively confirm the check with dual assurance from the Verifier, just before starting work
Empower workers with “Start Work Authority” in addition to Stop Work Authority Prevent
Fatalities and Serious Injuries
Focus on lifesaving controls/safeguards
Workers equipped with a tool to verify controls/safeguards are in place and functioning WHY WHAT’S COMING IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE, THE CHECKS AND OTHER MATERIALS DOWNLOADABLE FROM WWW.IOGP.ORG<br>
slide2. The SWC template – how to use it Column 1 has the check to be performed by the ‘person performing work’
Column 2 provides guidance on how to perform the check
Last two columns can be used to mark the item as ‘checked’
Bottom row can be used the verifier to mark that all control/safeguards have been checked NOTE: Column 2 is editable in the IOGP provided templates, if you’ve changed it, it may be worth indicating this to your audience<br>
slide3. What will success look like? The workforce:
Consistently recognizes hazards that can kill them and works with a sustained sense of vulnerability
Is competent to verify controls/safeguards that will keep them alive
Relies on Life-Saving Rules SWCs as a personal life saving measure It is a cultural norm that:
On every job with potential for fatality, a SWCs will be completed prior to work beginning
Work will not proceed until SWCs are positively, visually verified
Immediate action is taken to address the situation if a SWC can’t be completed
Work that is paused because SWCs can’t be completed is important information to help us improve Industry does not experience any fatalities resulting from a failure of a Life-Saving Rule.<br>
