Chevron GOM Flag-Bypass-Monitor System Requirements
Note: This system is not intended to replace the Lock Out / Tag
Out (LOTO) System. However, on occasion it may be used in
conjunction with the LOTO system.
Flags
Flags will be made available in the following two methods:
1.PERSONAL TAGS - tags will be provided to each qualified
person
Each Operations Supervisor will provide a sufficient number of
bypass flags/tags to each qualified person. These flags/tags
should be accounted for at the end of each day.
There are several benefits to doing this:
To provide immediate availability of flags/tags
To provide built-in compliance that "only a minimum number
of devices" be bypassed
To serve as a reminder to the qualified person to review the
day’s work and account for all flagged devices placed in bypass.
2. BYPASS TAG BOARDS - Bypass board(s) will be
located at each facility in the main office, gauger shack or at
the panels, which ever is deemed most effective by the work group.
There are several benefits to doing this:
Flags are readily accessible any time a Safety Device needs
to be bypassed.
To visually alert personnel of a device in bypass if a
flag/tag is missing from its hanger.
To serve as a reminder to all personnel to review the day’s
work and account for all flagged devices placed in bypass.
