Been waiting to use the below GIF.
Seriously sounds GREAT! "Work Permits" are general not used close to often enough. Very very useful tool for any task that is DANGEROUS and/or the employees assigned the task does not do it very often, including the first time!
About 7 years ago as an HR Manager I thought I scored a huge recruiting WIN when I hired an Industrial Journeyman Electrician, the same man was also a Journeyman Machine Repairman. Getting a person with one of those trades is hard enough, but with both is almost unheard. The second day on the job this employee was assigned to change a Hydraulic Motor on top of a 8-Spindle Screw Machine that turned 4' stock, a big machine. The new employee had 15 years experience in both trades and felt he was a real hotshot! However he never had worked on a Very Large Screw Machine and especially changing a large hydraulic pump 12' in the air. Long story short he was on top of the machine when he lowered the 250 pound pump on to his right hand, and when he yelled the lift truck swing the boom knocking him off the machine, no fall protection! Investigating the accident I was mad as He__ when I found out a required Non-Routine/Hazardous Work Permit was not completed as required by Corporate EHS Policy. When I asked the Maintenance Supervisor whom I had personally trained in it, for the Permit, her replied, "We do not have time for that Sh__!"
I corrected that problem real quick, what I did is confidential, but not good for the Supv. My Big Win turned into a HUGE Loss! The guy worked two days, but we had to pay to get him trained (as an Accountant) taking 4 years and a huge$.
