Asbestos Tab

How do I complete the Precautionary Safety Measures section of the Asbestos tab in the Permit to Work (PTW) system, in OHS Online?

No problems! Let's take a closer look at this section then. Once the asbestos exposure hazards, for the work being done, have been identified, the necessary checks and controls to ensure that any work performed minimises asbestos exposure, must be confirmed and checked.

The Precautionary Safety Measures section is where these safety measures are determined and confirmed. The Permit Issuer and Permit Requester work through and confirm the safety measure checks and must make sure that these checks are in place before any asbestos work starts. This section consists of two parts: 

1. General Precaution Measures - These are standard precaution measures which should be in place for the work being done. These will display automatically, as a default in this PTW tab and any options which are relevant to the work being done must be checked as YES and any options not relevant to the work being done must be checked as NO. 
 2. General Waste Measures - These are standard precaution measures which should be in place for controlling any waste materials produced from the work being done. These will display automatically, as a default in this PTW tab.

Let's look at the general precautionary measures a little more closely:
