Our company has switched to the national standard 30871 work order, but who should sign as the responsible person on it? Various departments in our company discussed the matter, and there were differing opinions. For something like a permit for safe work in confined spaces, who signs it on the applicant’s side? Can it be the person in charge of the organization? Who will sign off on carrying out safety education? Which department is the approving authority? Which department signs off on the completion inspection?
There is also a hot work safety permit, covering the applicant, the person in charge of the hot work, the person performing the hot work, the analyst, the person who prepares the document, the person who conducts the initial review, the person responsible for safety training, the applying organization, the person who approves the hot work, and the person who carries out the completion inspection. Who is supposed to sign them all? Which column can be the same person or department? Solve! ! ! There are also temporary wiring permits and so on.....
A new system has been implemented; this also needs to be determined based on one’s own company’s circumstances. . Here, it’s usually the team leader who fills out the hazardous operation form; (the various measures are organized and implemented by the team leader) after that it is taken to the safety officer in the respective factory for approval, followed by approval from the company’s Safety and Environment department. In cases involving level 1 or level 2 high-risk welding operations, approval from the vice president in charge of safety is also required. .
If there aren’t that many departments, you can decide based on your actual situation; it’s sufficient as long as the authority is in place
Just follow the company’s management systems as well as the roles and responsibilities defined for various positions within the company. There is no fixed pattern for this; it’s sufficient to have corresponding duties, rights, and benefits specified within the scope of each role in the pharmaceutical industry. However, it is recommended to handle this in accordance with the following principles: \"Safety must be taken into account in production management,\" the principles of area management, and the identification of the primary responsible person. For example, 1. The workshop supervisor is the primary person responsible for safe production in the workshop; therefore, he is the only one who has the authority to approve all work permits within the workshop, and no one else has the right to decide on any operations related to that workshop. The EHS manager doesn’t work either. However, for special hot work, it can be approved by the plant manager, vice president, or general manager (with elevated authority). 2. Environmental and safety supervisors should not act as job approvers; you are not capable of taking on that responsibility. If it is not the workshop supervisor who approves the work permits for his area, problems will arise due to overlapping responsibilities and unclear authorities. The above are just personal suggestions.
The person who signs is responsible; the company can determine the signatory based on its own specific circumstances! Different companies are in different situations; everything should be based on reality! ! ! ! ! !
