Dear Abhay
Nice thread. As mentioned your point no 1 is cleared.
For point no 2 - It is mentioned in Factory Rules of the state. In Gujarat Factory Rules it is mentioned in schedule XIX para 20. Further it is also mentioned in each provision. Eg. in clause 15 (Testing examination and repair of plant and equipment.—) it is mentioned in the end - "Wherever, the responsible person shall regulate the aforesaid work through a permit to work system." Similarly it is mentioned under "work in COnfined spaces" etc.
Please check YOUR state factory rules.
Other questions are well answered by the members.
Requirement of the signature will also depend on your Safety procedures.
For further information on Safety PTW reference may also be taken from OISD-105 on Work Permit System, OSHA and NFPA (NFC).
Types of permit will largely depend upon the nature of business you are into. The PTW system in small unit will differ from that of Mega units / Refineries etc.
Authorization is well explained by Dilip. We have Issuer, Receiver and Area Incharge signatures on all permits during normal work hours. During off-hours / sundays / holidays permit has to be signed by RSM (Highest officiating incharge of complex) and the permit needs to be registered with fire station prior starting of work.
Work permit IS REQUIRED for all type of work including road closure and working at height above 1.5 mts.
Standard system is the one YOU are preparing for your complex and getting the procedure approved. You may take deviation if certain thing is not applicable to you. But preparing of the SOP is required as per Factory's act.
Being the safety professional you need to keep constant vigil on all the permits and even conduct PTW audits. Even if you are not signing the permit, a copy of the permit MUST be with the HSE department, as this will be very helpful during investigation of any incident.
You will further find the answers in detail from NEBOSH study material Unit A4, which I hope Keshav can help.
For further queries you may please get in touch on 09925153646.
Best Regards
