7 Global Golden Rules of Safety

Rule Nr. 5

I always control energy of equipment when repairs or

cleaning is required and ensure the permit to work is
requested and approved.

Why:
Prevention of unexpected, or unwanted start-up of
equipment while maintenance or cleaning activity is
taking place. This safety practice helps assure the safe
return home in the same way employees arrive at work.

As a manager:
I actively support all personnel in practicing Lock Out Tag
Out through training, pre-shift safety talks, job site
monitoring and co-worker observation reminders.

As an employee:
I always follow the Lantmannen 7 Safety Rules and show
care and safety to all. I practice Lock Out Tag Out
knowing that it makes a positive impact on my life at
home as well as those I work with.

YOU MUST: YOU MUST NOT:

- Evaluate your job task and look for all the potential - Remove a machine guard and reach in with any body
risks part
- Plan how to protect yourself from the risks of injury - Work under someone else’s lock
- Follow the LOTO training and policy - Assume the machine is safe without a lock to control the
- Never take short cuts potential for energy release.
- Communicate with co-workers when necessary to - Loan you lock to someone else
reduce confusion or accidental start up. - Leave your key in the lock
- Leave your lock on and go home

We ALWAYS have time to work safely because ‘None are safe until all are safe!’

Purpose

To protect employees during machine and equipment servicing,

cleaning, and maintenance where the unexpected release of

5. Check for Stored Energy: There are items such as electrical
capacitors, hydraulic systems that hold a charge or pressure

sure they are properly discharged, or drained to ensure your

6. Verify the Isolation: Now it is time to; Test to make sure you

This is done by trying to simply start it back up again.

Permit to Work (PTW)

A permit to work (PTW) is a formal authorization system to control work activities and is an integral
part of safe work systems. All Unibake places should put in place a permit to work system, with
clear responsibilities of controls and authorization chain. However please note that, the permit to
work does not by itself make the job safe but is only one aspect of a safe operation. Work can be
executed safely only through the combined efforts of those involved in planning the job,
authorizing it, supervising it and those who are performing the job. The personnel involved in
performing the work activity are usually at the sharp end and most exposed to the hazards if
something were to go wrong.

A permit to work is no doubt of vital importance for high risk activities, but it is not a replacement
for the basic safety checks which the crew must carry out themselves before and for the duration
of the job.

We ALWAYS have time to work safely because ‘None are safe until all are safe!’

Technical Description:
Permit to Work (PTW) Basics characteristics of a work permit
Please remember: The permit itself does not make the job safe! • Clear and complete job description.
Overall Requirements • Location of the work – Area
• All persons approved either to issue or accept permits • The time span - date and time the permit comes into
to work should have received sufficient training and on effect and the period of validity
job experience. • All known hazards to be listed
• This requirement also applies to Unibake contractors. • List precautions to be taken to address these hazards.
• Takes care of Hazards from: (Job Risk Assessment)
- Electrical Source • Electrical, process and mechanical isolation
- Instruments Interlocks • One permit for one job for one equipment to be issued.
- Pressure • Communicate/reference to all other permits /
- Temperature authorizations.
- Hazardous Materials • Define PPEs
- Others • Any other precaution to perform the job safely.
When is needed?
When the team or worker doing the job does not have operating Recommended document management regarding PTW :
control of the Equipment. • Display hard copy of the PTW at the work site for
checking.
Type and mandatory permits required in Unibake locations: • Issuer to keep the upper copy
- Hot work permit. • After the completion of the job, hard copy to be retained
- Entry into confined spaces. by the issuer& upper copy by the receiver for audit
- Working on height purposes.
- Electric Isolation • Work Permit Validity
o Hot Work Permit and working on height: -8 Hrs
(Extendable for 30 minutes by the going shift in
In case after the issuance of work permit job is not charge only)
started within 2 hrs, issue the new work permit. o Confined Space Entry & Electric Isolation Work
