Fundamental Intent
11. Capture, Incorporate, and Share Lessons Learned
g PTW systems should include a process for capturing and sharing lessons learned. Areas to focus
on include the hazard identification and risk assessment process, work methods and preparation
of the work area, and the permit approval process.
g PTW systems should include a requirement to update the PTW policies, SWPs, or Permit details
when a lesson is learned. Lessons learned should be shared widely within the facility and the company.
12. Obligation and Authority to Stop Work
g The PTW policy should state that all staff and contractors on the plant site have the Authority
and Obligation to stop work when an unsafe condition or act is observed that could affect the safety
of personnel and/or the environment.
g The PTW policy should state that all staff and contractors on the plant site have the Authority

and other safety meetings to all personnel at site, including staff and contractors.
