Why e-PTW?
For lengthy, intricate, and voluminous jobs engaging largenumber of agencies and work-force and tackling variety ofhazardous work situation with application of lockout-tagoutisolation systems, it becomes a gigantic work to run about, contactpeople personally, take their clearances, making entries on the forms withsignature etc.
When the control centers are located at far distances and in tough geographicalterrain, exercising physical control becomes extremely tedious and time consuming
If any reference is needed with previous jobs undertaken earlier, one has to search thesame physically from maintained library of documents
The authority in command is faced with large number of PTW applications for thevarious location of the complex and he has to scrutinize among them taking intoconsideration the entire work process
e-PTW software proves to be a very useful and convenient tool to establish Control, Co-ordination and Communication following correct work sequences among the participatingagencies through computer system, facilitating:
Full view of the entire work scenario to enable the in charge to take correct and fastdecision
Right, definite and quick communication
Smooth flow of work, saving time, avoiding lengthy paper work
Easy & quickly retrieval data bank
ASK-EHS has successfully designed custom-made module and implemented the aboverequired system in India & abroad which are excellent by working the entire satisfaction of
the clients.

Audit & History
e-PTW system facilities barcode tag labels andRFID tag item identification technology. Mobiledevices can be used to upload specifiedisolation points in order to provide plantengineers the ability to locate and confirm theisolation points as specified.
Appropriate isolation sequences and individualpoints are provided to the user to perform andconfirm the work using RFID plant identification
and matching tag label barcodes. Oncompletion, the information can be uploadedto affirm specified isolation points have beenapplied. The system facilities de-isolationprocedure in a similar manner.
ISOLATION POINT VERIFICATION
e-PTW contains feature to manage the entire isolation process with
controls and checks to support logical process flow, ensuring the
synchronization of plant isolation with permits.
The software guides users through the process by selecting the
isolations required while checking if they are already being shared by
other work.
The isolation & de-isolation process can be managed with Lock or Tagcontrol. It gives engineer the ability to print out Isolations list & Tags
that can be taken to the worksite and used to carry out the required
isolations which are then recoded in the software.

Job Safety Analysis
Job safety analysis provides the work team with identified hazards, controls, barriers andsafety documents that require communicating prior to work commencement. The JSA canact as or support a Toolbox Talk where the individual input, agreement, roles andresponsibilities can be agreed with the working party prior to starting work.
CLEAR WORKING PARTY COMMUNICATION
Following task definition the job can be broken down into a series of work steps, each being
recorded on the JSA. Each work step is then analyzed separately to determine the potential
hazards related to it.
A client-specific Hazard library is provided to stimulate thought and to assist in defining the
hazards and controls of each work step.
Draft JSAs can be printed and used to visit the worksite to evaluate the hazard present,
followed with the JSA update, refinement and addition of hazards and controls.
Supplementary assessments such as materials, hazards, lifting plans or crafts can also be
supported with the document attachment facilities of the system.
JSA STEPS
Work Request, Define andCategorize Work
Raise JSA and define theEquipment and Work Scope
Form a JSA Team (if required)
Define Work Steps
Conduct Work Site Assessment
Conduct Risk Assessment
Identify all the Hazards anddetermine risk ratings
Assign controls to risks that
are not acceptableDetermine risk ratings aftercontrols are applied
Re-assign controls until allrisks are acceptable

Our Approach & Implementation
RequirementsThe initial stage will confirm the objectives and scope of the project, identify tasks
to be carried out and determine software configuration.
1
Software ConfigurationThis stage involves making the baseline software work the way a customer wants.
A core element to this process is to build a set of WYSIWYG. These are data input
screens that closely resembles the resulting hard copy printouts and rule logic.
2
TestingTesting is normally split into two phases, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and
User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
3
Training
While administrator and customer project manager will have undergonesufficient training to enable them to participate in tasks such as process mapping,
FAT and UAT, additional staff training is sti ll required.
Formal, role-specific training and assessment materials have to be prepared, IT
staff needs formal training on system administration and we normally organize
roll-out training sessions led by the administrator to provide confidence.
4
Go-LiveWith preparation, configuration, testing and training completed we reach the
moment everyone has been working for go-live. Staff should be aware of the
impending switch from an existing system to an electronic system from a
combination of a co-ordinate awareness campaign and roll-out training.Final data is set up, software is installed and tested on user workstations and key
users are selected to begin the process of using the system to process the live
data.
ASK-EHS provides on-site support to staff during this early confidence building
stage and finally the project is signed off and formally handed over to the ASK-EHS
support department who provide ongoing support as and when required.

Summary Improved Safety, Cost Reduction, Improved Uptime
Although cost benefits are secondary to that of safety it is beneficial to understand that
adopting an electronic safe system of work can substantially contribute to the goal of
operating excellence while reducing operational costs relatively well.
In summary, benefits are based on more effective and efficient administration systems to
enforce safety procedures prior to, during and after work activities as well as achieving
fewer incidents due to greater safety vigilance.
