Stop Work Authority Training

The Stop Work Responsibility Program is based on the employees understanding the Responsibility and Obligation they hold when it comes to their safety, as well as the safety of others. TES/PHC/PTS management supports the right of any individual to suspend a single work task or group operation when the control of HSE risk is not clearly understood.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Employees are responsible to initiate a “stop work” intervention when warranted and support the intervention of others.
• Supervisors and Upper Management are responsible to create a culture where SWA is exercised freely, and work to resolve issues before operations resume and recognized proactive participation.
• Senior Leaders will establish and support clear expectations to exercise SWA, create a culture where SWA is exercised freely, and resolve SWA conflicts when they arise and hold those accountable that choose not to comply with established SWA polices.
