Which safety measure should be communicated to adjacent plants during a permit-to-work request?

  1. Project budget

  2. Risk assessment/JSA

  3. Employee schedules

  4. Equipment maintenance logs

The correct answer is: Risk assessment/JSA

In a permit-to-work system, it is crucial to communicate potential hazards and control measures to ensure the safety of all personnel involved and any adjacent or nearby operations. The risk assessment or Job Safety Analysis (JSA) contains detailed information about the specific risks associated with the work being undertaken, including identified hazards and the measures implemented to mitigate those risks. Sharing the risk assessment/JSA with adjacent plants allows them to understand what safety measures have been put in place and whether they need to take additional precautions. It is particularly important in environments where work activities can affect nearby operations, creating a shared awareness that enhances overall safety. Proper communication of these assessments can prevent misunderstandings and ensure that all parties are prepared for any potential risks that might arise during the work. In contrast, project budgets, employee schedules, and equipment maintenance logs do not directly address safety concerns related to the hazards of the work being performed, making them less relevant for the purpose of ensuring a safe working environment for both internal and external stakeholders involved in the permit-to-work process.
