Hazard-based SIMOPS for Permit-to-work & Isolation management
Introduces a way for users to ensure simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) are always governed by the hazards of the related activities for the same location. Data admins can now create items called “Hazards Interactions”, either starting from a Hazard item, or via the Hazard Interaction collection in the Shared Data workspace. With a Hazard Interaction, users can now determine which interacting hazards are permitted to occur together with controls and which are forbidden from occurring together. Hazards can now also be marked for total exclusion.
- When interactions are permitted with controls, users can determine which additional controls are required to ensure safe operations. When the interaction then occurs between two different jobs, the controls marked on the Hazard Interaction item are required for both work others before with permit approvals can be given, or permits can be issued.
- When interaction are forbidden, the two hazards that are part of the interaction can never be applicable for work orders at the same location and during the same period. If such an interaction could occur, the work order on which the SIMOPS analysis is performed, needs to be rescheduled.
- When a hazard is marked for total exclusion in Shared Data, and is marked as applicable for for a particular job, the hazard will ensure no other activities can be planned for that same location in the same period under any circumstances.
Introduces:
- A new concept labelled “Hazard Interaction”
- A new action button on Hazard items labelled “Add Hazard Interaction”
- A new checkbox on Hazard items labelled “Total exclusion”
- An automatic check for SIMOPS hazard interactions at the following stages:
- When finishing the risk assessment, TenForce will check for hazard interactions within the same work order;
- When marking the job as ready to be executed (“Mark as ready”), TenForce will check all ongoing work order for additional hazard interactions.
- Feedback messages, which detail:
- Which hazards marked as applicable for the same work order (might) require additional controls to be added;
- Which other work orders for the same location overlap with the current work order planning.
