3.6 Permit-to-Work

The permit-to-work system simply sets out the precautions to be taken prior to
commencement of any potentially hazardous work activity.

It is an organized and predetermined safety procedure and forms a clear picture of the
foreseeable hazards in advance and the appropriate precautions to be taken, showing the
correct sequence of operations.

a) A permit-to-work does not make the job safe but acts as a guide and outlines a set
procedure.

b) The permit is to specify the period of validity. This period must NOT exceed twenty-
four hours.

c) Only the work specified on the permit shall be undertaken.

d) Before signing the permit the Responsible Officer shall check that all the measures
specified have in fact been taken and that all appropriate safety arrangements are
maintained until the permit is cancelled.

e) Anyone who takes over from the Responsible Officer as of routine or in an emergency
shall assume full responsibility until the permit is cancelled or he hands over to another
nominated person who is fully conversant with the situation. These persons must
countersign the permit.

f) On completion of the work the authorizing officer must be notified.

Important:
Should any checklist contain an entry with a negative answer, work is not to be
undertaken until the Master has made a full appraisal of the situation. In this situation,
only the Master can decide whether it is safe for a work activity to commence.

3.17 Working Aloft and Over The Side

3.17.1 General Provisions

■ Consideration should be given to a permit-to-work system for work aloft or


over the side depending on the nature of the work. A form for working aloft
should take account of the particular nature of the operation.

■ Particular attention should be paid to sea and weather conditions and the
possibility of squalls before working aloft or over the side is commenced. In
general, working aloft or over the side should not be permitted if the movement
of a ship in a seaway makes such work hazardous.

■ In coastal waters strong tidal or current rips could cause sudden, unexpected
ship movements which might be hazardous to personnel working aloft.

■ Special consideration should be given to the problems of working near the ship’s
whistle, funnel, radio aerials and radar scanners. All relevant officers should be
informed before work commences and all relevant equipment should be isolated,
shutdown or appropriate procedures adopted. Warning notices should be posted
as appropriate. Officers should be informed when the work is completed.

■ Young or inexperienced persons should not be required to work aloft or over the
side unless accompanied by an experienced seafarer or under adequate supervision.

■ All personnel should wear safety harnesses and safety nets should be rigged
where appropriate. Persons working over the side should ware lifejackets or
other suitable flotation devices. Someone should be in attendance on deck and
a lifebuoy with a line attached should be readily available.

■ Warning notices that "personnel are working aloft" should be posted on deck and
elsewhere as appropriate. Tools should not be carried in pockets but secured in
belt tool carriers and they should be kept secured to the belt with a lanyard or
string during the work. Tools and stores should be sent up and lowered by line
in suitable containers.

■ All equipment, such as lizards, blocks and gantlines, should be carefully


examined before use and if there is any doubt as to the standard, quality and
condition of an item it should not be used.

■ Where possible, only permanent fixtures to ship’s structure, such as welded


eye pads, should be used as securing points for lizards, blocks and gantlines.

are working aloft.

■ Personnel working aloft or over the side should be continuously supervised by


a competent person.

3.17.2 Cradles and Stages

■ Cradles should be at least 40 cm wide and fitted with guard-rails to a height of 1 m

■ Plank stages should be made from sound wood and materials and should be
free from defect.

■ As far as possible stages should be secured against movement.

■ Gantlines should be long enough to allow stages to be lowered to a level which


enables personnel to step off the stage easily.

■ When personnel working on a stage are required to lower the stage themselves,
all movements of the stage should be small and carefully controlled.

3.17.3 Bosun’s Chairs

■ A hook should not be used to secure a bosun’s chair unless it is a type which
cannot be accidentally dislodged

■ A chair used with a gantline should be secured with a double sheet bend and
the loose end should be tucked into the rope lay of the standing part.

■ A chair and all associated equipment such as gantlines, should be carefully


inspected before use and a load test applied before hoisting takes place. If it is
necessary to hoist a person aloft, it should be done only by hand and never by
mechanical means, such as a winch.

■ Personnel should be reminded that when securing the hitch in a chair the
practice of holding both parts of the gantline with one hand and making the
lowering hitch with the other is dangerous.

3.17.4 Ropes

■ The safety of personnel working aloft depends to a large extent on the condition
of the ropes used in the operations. Such ropes must be given considerable care
and attention.

■ Ropes should be stowed in a special locker and used for no other purpose than
for working aloft. Nothing else should be stowed in the locker; stores such as
detergents and paints may damage ropes. The locker should be dry and not subject
to excessive heat.

■ All ropes should be thoroughly inspected each time before use and daily when
in use. It should be remembered that although the surface of a rope may
indicate that it is in good condition, it may have deteriorated inside.

■ All ropes (e.g. gantlines, lifelines and lizards) should be load tested before use to
four or five times the weight that they will be expected to carry.

3.17.5 Portable Ladders

■ Working from ladders, where is a risk of over stretching and falling, should be
discouraged.

■ A safety harness secured above the person should be used when working aloft.

■ The ladder should extend to a height of at least 1 m above the top landing place.

■ A ladder should be effectively secured so that it cannot move.

■ Personnel using a ladder should:

a) Have both hands free for climbing up and down

b) Face a rigid ladder when climbing up and down

c) Not carry tools or equipment.

■ Rigid portable ladders should be placed at an angle between 65 and 70 degrees to


the horizontal and there should be a clearance of at least 15 cm behind all the rungs.

should never be left so that slack may suddenly pay out when the ladder is used.

■ The ladder should be rigged and used under the supervision of a responsible person.
