- Abstract
The hazards associated with maintenance are recognised on a worldwide basis. They can cause accidents ranging in scale from minor injuries to major explosions involving huge loss of life and massive financial loss. One of the measures to minimise the chance of an accident occurring during maintenance activities is almost universally some form of permit to work system. These vary from basic to very sophisticated systems. This paper reviews permitting and equipment isolation practices encountered during insurance risk surveys of hydrocarbon facilities around the world.
