Operating the Safe Work Permit System
The safe work permit system aims to clarify work details and relevant safety instructions prior to the commencement of the work, thereby eliminating potential risk factors. The system must be applied to hazardous works conducted in enclosed space, hot work, electrical works, works on piping and pressure vessels, or handling asbestos, other non-regular works, and works designated by the master or the onboard safety officer. For all works subject to the safe work permit system, advance risk assessments must be conducted, and the assessment results and work permit must be posted at the work site. All those involved must attend an onboard safety and health environment committee meeting prior to the commencement of the work.
