SMART Summit Operations Suite Permit to Work Isolations Risk Assessment Hazards Rules for safe work Contractor Management

SMART Summit What is IntelliPERMIT? A computer based permit to work system that reduces the risks of working in hazardous environments by ensuring that equipment is correctly isolated and that appropriate measures have been taken to protect workers from hazards. The permit certificate provides proof that the work is authorised and that everything reasonably practicable has been done to mitigate risks to workers and the environment Permit process and audit trail Hazard ID and controls People and competencies Isolation and lockout

SMART Summit Predictive Hazard Identification (patented technology) Associate safe work “rules” with hazards Elimination of “rote” permits Users are coached during permit preparation Guidance provided on Business rules (OK, warn, exception, disallow) Powerful isolation management Isolations are cross referenced and based on your detailed procedures Powerful key safe and lock management Extremely flexible Designed to fit your processes, not the other way round Supports multiple permit types Control competencies Biometric ID Integrates easily with plant maintenance systems Continuous improvement System health checks Learning from incidents translate to new or modified rules How IntelliPERMIT improves safety

SMART Summit Predictive Hazard Identification Hazards Plant Area Permit Type Equipment Activities Preparations Precautions PPE Keywords

SMART Summit Requesting a Permit Only prompts for items relevant to the hazards identified Alert, Raise Exception or Disallow “We did not anticipate what a useful training tool IntelliPERMIT would turn out to be. The system serves as a constant reminder of what the correct procedures are” Gary Clancy, Operations Manager, Anchor Yeast

SMART Summit Modelling the Permit Process Permit status change subject to: 1.User identification through electronic signature 2.User competencies 3.Business rules Permit status change subject to: 1.User identification through electronic signature 2.User competencies 3.Business rules Enforce compliance System configured to match your process Minimise retraining Rapid system adoption

SMART Summit Competency AreaPermit Type Transaction (e.g. Issue) Activity Control authorities with competencies Competencies are granted following training, and are set to expire. Reminders for refresher training are automatically created for the training department. Benefits: Control authorisation of work, ensure refresher training is planned and provided, prevent unauthorised persons signing permits, ensure work done by competent persons only

SMART Summit Moving permit status from A to B User Identity Password / Biometric Competency Scope & Validity Question Responses Ignore / Alert / Exception / Disallow Business Rules Ignore / Alert / Exception / Disallow Status A Status B

SMART Summit Business Rules Controlling workflow Isolation procedures Enforcing safety Notifications

SMART Summit Biometric Signatures In use since 2005 >10000 users in heavy industrial environments have registered over 5 million transactions using the technology. Benefits: Improved integrity of signatures, faster processing, no need to maintain passwords

SMART Summit Visibility of work in progress Alert for overdue permits

SMART Summit Details of work to be performed Audit trail of signatories Required PPE List of isolations & locks Only prints hazards & questions relevant to the task Sample

SMART Summit Isolation Management Benefits: Design information can be embedded into isolation procedures and enforced. Avoid removing of isolations where multiple linked permits exist. Enforce isolation procedures Equipment Isolation Procedures Isolation Procedures Permit Isolations Permit Isolations Equipment Type Equipment Type Activity Tags Previous Permits Previous Permits “Master“ Permits “Master“ Permits X-ref Copy Prompt

SMART Summit Cross Referencing Permits More efficient isolations and permits Control dependencies between multiple jobs Rules force consistency between master and slave permits

SMART Summit Key Safe Hierarchy Track complex dependencies Re-commission plant more efficiently after outages Identify relevant isolation sets

SMART Summit Permit Revision s Plant isolated and tagged Permit issued and accepted Work proceeds PTW Scope of work changed Permit Suspended by Issuer and Acceptor “New Revision” signature revokes PTW20000 and creates PTW20000/1 PTW 20000/1 Each new revision Issued and Accepted Tags with original PTW number remain valid PTW 20000/2 Benefits: Improved control over scope changes Re-commission systems faster

SMART Summit Deleted Changed Added No Change Deleted Changed Added No Change

SMART Summit Measure and monitor permit request statistics Go Live Benchmark: 80% of permits <5 minutes Average 300 permits/week Benefits: Reporting on permit request time allows benchmarking between individuals, departments and sites. Too long could indicate a training requirement, too short could indicate that inadequate attention is being paid to assessing risks.

SMART Summit Shutdown Support Improve planning Prepare template permits and isolation procedures Clear instructions for when permits need to be prepared by Control large numbers of contractors No work without minimum required competencies and medicals etc. Cross reference “master” isolations Better management of isolation dependencies between tasks Permit suspension for testing Safely direction test motors etc. Permit revisions for re-commissioning Efficiently track isolations still required Reduce outage time

SMART Summit Direct Benefits Improved Safety Control Visibility Consistency High quality permits that comply with procedures Effective delegation of responsibility Only competent and authorised persons can sign Management notified of deviations/exceptions Constant reinforcement of training High visibility of work in progress Better communication Improved efficiency of permit process Templates, pre-loaded procedures Track complex isolations and cross references Improved governance of safety Better auditing Improved governance of safety Better auditing

SMART Summit Integration Options Import functional locations / equipment Use work order data to populate permit Update work order status with permit status Use 3rd party system user and competency data Link to access control system Integration via web services
