[Eng-div] Work Planning

[Henry Robertson]

Reminder to all ENG staff:

Work Planning tools should be used to provide timely updates especially 
when utilities, infrastructure or
hardware is altered which affects other workgroups.


- All workers should be properly trained and authorized to conduct 
assigned work. Work control documents that contain "feedback and 
improvement" sections should be reviewed more thoroughly when resuming 
work to ensure that all hazards are controlled.

- If the work control process requires specific disciplines to be 
present for pre-briefings, walk-downs, etc., then work should not 
commence until they have had a chance to properly and thoroughly review 
the job.

- The proper equipment has to be utilized for the work. If the proper 
equipment cannot be located, then work shall not proceed until it is 
made available.

- Communication between management and workers needs to be clear and 
concise. If work is planned to be completed in an urgent manner, then 
all risks and hazards introduced by the urgency must be fully 
identified, understood and controlled.

- Stop Work authority is a control available to all workers to prevent 
mishaps. All workers must be vigilant in stopping work if there are 
newly- recognized hazards that have not been properly controlled.
