Strategies and Effective Practices

to Manage and Mitigate Hazards

Ensure resources to adequately assess safe work activities.
g Time pressure and/or task complexity stresses placed on authorizing personnel to get permits issued can
compromise the safety process through the adoption of a “seems OK to proceed” mindset. These situations are
associated with a higher frequency of process breakdowns and the introduction of additional risks.
g Specify degree of operator presence, consistent with the magnitude of identified hazards.

Clear identification of equipment in the plant

g Ensure that the equipment to be worked on is correctly identified and labelled so that only the intended device will
be bypassed.

Use bypass permits, procedures, or MOCs to manage activities, specify controls, manage simultaneous operations,
and communicate to others
g Avoid using bypass procedures simultaneously with non-routine process changes.
