LOGBOOK


To

record

significant

events

or

unusual

occurrence to pass on to next shifts technicians and supervisors




Should be kept accurate and short (date, time, equipment no., badge no., etc)

Provides information about the products produced by the unit

List the properties used to judge product quality and the acceptable values for on-specification product

11

STANDARD OPERATING CONDITIONS (SOCs)




Goals and acceptable ranges for the process variables such as temperature, pressure, flow. level, composition)

Operating within these ranges is necessary to produce on-specification product


12

16

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS)




Also a source of information on safety equipment that should be used and special precautions that should be followed when handling these

materials.

17

DAILY OPERATION RECORDS




Generated by technicians during their working shift.

Historical records that can prove useful when troubleshooting and updating procedures.

18

WORK REQUESTS

PERMIT TO WORK SYSTEM (WORK PERMIT)




A special document (permit) before certain types of work can be done. A formal written system used to control certain types of work which are identified as potential hazardous.

24

PERMIT TO WORK SYSTEM (WORK PERMIT)




Ensure personnel involved in a hazardous task to take the time to review all the steps, personal protective equipment (FPE), hazards, and additional equipment required to perform the task safely. A means of communication between site/installation, maintenance personnel and contractors to ensure all necessary safety precautions are taken before commencing the work.

25

PERMIT TO WORK SYSTEM (WORK PERMIT)


Some of the more common permits are  Confined spaces  Lockout/tagout (LOTO)  Hot work  Cold work There are three permit systems very  Opening/ blindimg common to the petrochemical and refining industries because OSHA mandates them:  Radiation (1) Hot work  Critical lifts (2) Lockout/ Tagout (3) Confined space.  Electrical
26

HOT WORK PERMIT




Any maintenance procedure that produces a spark, excessive heal, or requires welding or burning. The permit must be displayed at the worksite until the hot work operation is complete.

27

LOCKOUT/ TAGOUT PERMIT




In a lockout system, a padlock is placed to prevent energy from being turned on. A tagout system is just like a lockout system except a tag is included with the lock if the equipment can accept a lock.

28

VESSEL ENTRY PERMIT/ CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT




A confined space may contain a toxic atmosphere, chemicals, an oxygen deficient atmosphere, flammable materials, power-driven equipment, or other hazardous conditions Need a permit to enter

29

VESSEL ENTRY PERMIT/ CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT




Some examples are:  Storage tanks  Large pipes  Silos  Distillation towers  Underground cable ducts
