  special training.
• Every permit needs to be on-site with the person
  executing the works.
• The permits need to be shown at the simple
  request of a BASF employee.
• We will discuss the different permits

27
A-permit (work permit)

• The A-permit is necessary for any work carried
  out on the site!

28
A-permit (work permit)

• The measures you need to take on top of the
  standard measures are indicated on the permit.
• The regulations on the permits need to be
  explained by your superior.
• The permit needs to be signed overleaf by any
  person working on the site by way of acceptance
  of the regulations.

29
B-permit (access permit)

• A B-permit allows you to access tanks, columns or
  other enclosed spaces.
• The measures you need to take on top of the
  standard measures are indicated on the permit.
• A safety supervisor needs to be present at all
  times.

• UNDER NO CONDITION may these areas be entered,
  not even briefly or partly, without a B-permit!

30
V-permit (fire permit)

• The A-permit combined with a V-permit allows you
  to make fire or sparks but not to smoke!

• Within a safety zone (Ex-zone), marked with
  red-white poles and chains there is a high fire-
  and explosion hazard. To use non-explosion safe
  devices in this zone a V-permit is required (e.g.
  for vehicles).

V-permit for welding and grinding work

• A fire extinguisher needs to be on hand in case
  of welding and grinding work.

  activities!

7. INSTALLATIONS - MACHINES
34
Electrical machines and cables

• Machines with damaged cables constitute a major
  electrocution hazard and may never be used.
  Electrical machines and cables need to be in
  perfect condition.

• Keep cables away from passages and stairs as much
  as possible. Preferably use S-hooks to hang up
  cables.

35
Demarcations

• If you carry out work that is hazardous for
  others (e.g. assembly work, sandblasting,
  hoisting), the risk area needs to be demarcated
  (e.g. with signalisation ribbon).

• Newly-built platforms, holes, need to have a
  solid barrier (in wood or metal).

36
Scaffolding

• Scaffolding may only be used when a valid
  S-permit is present.

• No changes (not even temporarily moving a plank)
  are allowed to be made by unauthorised people.
• Order and cleanliness, also on scaffolding!

37
Fall protection

• In case of activities at height, fall protection
  is necessary.
• Collective personal protective equipment is
  preferred. If this is not possible fall
  protection harnass needs to be worn.
• Wearing and securing fall protection is
  compulsory in a cherry picker.

38
Order and cleanliness

• After the work the work site needs to be cleaned
  up always and everywhere! This is the sign of a
  real professional.
