WORK CONTROL COORDINATOR/SUPERVISOR DETERMINES:WORKER PLANNED WORK VS ENHANCED WORK

PLANNING• Worker skill level and experience• Ability to complete task safely• Training• Understanding the requirements for

completion

Examples of Worker Planned WorkRoutine preventive maintenanceSimple LOTO (not involving multiple energy sources) Work covered under general RWPFiltered respiratory protection used on the basis of personal choice Routine crane, bucket-truck, or fork-truck work by trained personnelRoutine carpentry work, e.g., hanging s bulletin boards, erect office partitions, painting, etc. Routine mechanical work, e.g., run air lines, realign coupling, repack valve, etc.

Re-lampingScaffold assembly/disassembly (inspection required) Routine HVAC repairWork on energized systems under 50 volts see Electrical Safety Subject Area

Examples of Permit Required Work Respiratory protection (SCBA is High Hazard) Work requiring a job specific RWPConfined space work (Class 2A and 2B)Bucket truck work within 10 feet of a non-insulated, energized line Asbestos abatement workWork requiring fall protectionIf work permit is required for outside department ALARA review required (greater than 0.75 person-rem) Radiation Safety Committee review requiredNeed to set up Radioactive Material Work Area X-ray hazardsConventional Safety Committee review requiredCutting and welding in other than C-A pre-established areas Fire Hazard involvedHazardous/flammable gas hazard createdPersonal Protective Equipment (PPE) required, other than safety glasses, gloves, shoes, ear plugs, or hard hatLiquid spill prevention required Liquid or airborne effluents generated ExcavationsUse of any hoisting and rigging equipment in excess of 85% of the rated capacity Access control issueMinors or students or untrained person involved in work Work on pressurized systemsWork in High Radiation Areas greater than 5 rem/hour Work in High Contamination AreasWork involving voltages greater than 600 volts see (Electrical Safety Subject Area Critical liftsClass IIIb and IV laser alignment activities, which potentially expose personnel to laser

AND

WORK SMART

• Limited short-term memory• Personality conflicts• Mental shortcuts (biases)• Lack of alternative indication• Inaccurate risk perception (Pollyanna)• Unexpected equipment conditions• Mindset (“tuned” to see)• Hidden system response• Complacency / Overconfidence• Workarounds / OOS instruments• Assumptions (inaccurate mental picture)• Confusing displays or controls• Habit patterns• Changes / Departures from routine• Stress (limits attention)• Distractions / Interruptions

Human NatureWork Environment• Illness / Fatigue• Lack of or unclear standards• “Hazardous” attitude for critical task• Unclear goals, roles, & responsibilities• Indistinct problem-solving skills• Interpretation requirements• Lack of proficiency / Inexperience• Irrecoverable acts• Imprecise communication habits• Repetitive actions, monotonous• New technique not used before• Simultaneous, multiple tasks• Lack of knowledge (mental model)• High Workload (memory requirements)• Unfamiliarity w/ task / First time• Time pressure (in a hurry)
