Stop Work Authority (SWA) Procedures
Initiating SWA: The person in charge of the conducted work is responsible for ensuring the work is stopped in an orderly and safe manner. Individuals who receive a notification to stop work should comply with that direction immediately.
Work Resumption: Work may be resumed when the individual on the facility with Ultimate Work Authority (UWA) determines that the imminent risk or danger does not exist or no longer exists. The decision to resume activities should be documented in writing as soon as practicable.
Job Safety Analyses: You should include SWA procedures and expectations as a standard statement in all JSAs.
Training: You should conduct training on the SWA procedures as part of orientations for all new personnel who perform activities on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).
SWA Review: Additionally, the SWA procedures should be reviewed during all meetings focusing on safety on facilities subject to the SEMS rule.
