Running the job

An inspection nobody did. An injury nobody reported. A permit nobody closed.

On the job, and on the record

The things that have to be done on site, and the record that they were done. A briefing is signed on the phone by the people who were there, a permit runs its fire watch down in front of them, and an incident is written at the scene rather than remembered at the office on Monday.

Hot work, closed properly

The fire watch, counted down on the phone

A hot work permit is closed through its fire watch: an hour’s watch after the torch goes off, then a final check an hour later, with the phone counting the time down.
