release of hazardous energy during installation, maintenance, service and repair
activities involving hazardous energy sources; and
To ensure there are integrated procedures for issuing, receiving, transferring and
closing of permits to work during the installation, operation and maintenance of
identified hazardous operations.

2 Scope
2.1 This procedure applies throughout Saudi Electricity Company and its Subsideries
and any other procedures specified by business line or sector.
2.2 Permanent on-site contractors (e.g. Isolated Power Plants) may utilize their own
work permit procedures as long as the procedures meet or exceed the
requirements outlined in this standard and have been approved by SEC.

Hold Tags: A prominent warning device, such as a tag with a means of attachment,
which can be securely fastened to an energy isolating device in conjunction with a
lock to indicate that the energy isolating device and the equipment being controlled
may not be operated until the tag and lock is removed. The hold tags should be able
to endure environmental conditions and not spoil due to humidity, water or rust
throughout lockout period. The tag is integrated with lockout devices in preventing
any accidental or unauthorized operation and warns against removing the tag and /
or lock.
Job Safe Procedures (JSP’s): Means a procedure which describes how work is to
be carried out in a safe and standardized step by step process. A safe work
procedure outlines the hazards, risks and associated controls measures to be
applied to ensure the task/activity is conducted in a way to reduce the risk of
accidents.
Lockout: The placement of a lockout device and hold tag on any energy isolating
device, in accordance with an established procedure, ensuring that the energy
isolating device and the equipment being controlled cannot be operated until the
lockout device is removed.
Lockbox: A secure box used to store group lock keys during group lockout, which
allows personnel to install their personal locks on the box.
Lockout device: A device that utilizes a positive physical means to hold an energy-
isolating device in the safe position. It prevents the energizing of the equipment, and
cannot be easily removed unintentionally. Including blind flanges and bolted slip
blinds.
Lock off Point(s): Point(s) identified on equipment when a lock out device(s) and
tag(s) can be affixed to prevent unintentional or unauthorized operation or energizing
of equipment.
Multiple Lock Out Device (Scissor Hasp/Clip): A multiple Lockout Device is a lock
out device that helps applying multiple locks in single isolating device but it cannot
be used as stand-alone locking device.
Work permit: An official authorization document issued by an issuer to a receiver in
order to perform a specified work. A work permit is considered an official document
that includes the conditions and requirements that have been agreed to between the
authorized issuer and the authorized receiver and prescribes the minimum safety
requirements and precautions for the task.
Work Permit Issuer: A qualified and competent SEC employee who has been
authorized by his division manager/section head to issue and close out work permits
for any work under his department/division responsibilities.
Work Permit Receiver: An SEC employee or contractor employee who has been
trained and authorized and found competent to receive and close out permits. SEC
employee is authorized by his department/division manager. The contractor's
employee is authorized by sponsoring department/division manager.
Personal Lock: A uniquely keyed lock issued to an employee for their personal
protection.
Risk Assessment: Process of evaluating the risk(s) arising from hazard/impact(s),

Version No: 1 Rev No: 0 Page: 4 of 19


taking into account the adequacy of any existing controls, and deciding whether or
not the risk(s) is acceptable.
SEC: Saudi Electricity Company.
Switching Program/Isolation Procedure: A Written serial instructions issued from
control room or control center to hold a part of the system (electrical line/equipment
or a device) out of service completely for a particular purpose and temporary time by
isolating this part in a specified method.
Top Management: Person or group of people who directs and controls an
organization at the highest level. Note: Top management has the power to delegate
authority and provide resources within the organization provided ultimate
responsibility for the OHS management system is retained.
Zero Energy State: A condition in which an isolated piece of equipment is physically
prevented from release of all potential and/or stored energy, and verified incapable
of an inadvertent release.
Note: The words “shall” and “must” in this document indicate mandatory
requirements. The word “should” indicates a preferred approach.
