GERT8000-HB21 Iss 5

You will need this handbook if you carry out the duties of a IWA, COSS or PC blocking a line.

02/12/2023 -  The competency of safe work leader (SWL) is no longer a recognised one and this handbook has been withdrawn.

A new requirement has been introduced at section 2.4 to allow a lock-out device to be used as a means of additional protection. 

A new requirement has been added at section 2.6 to permit the use of a remotely-activated T-COD as a means of additional protection. 

As a result of the introduction of new sections 2.4 and 2.6, cross references in section 2.2 have been revised and sections 2.4 to 2.7 in issue 4 have been renumbered in issue 5. 

A full description of what is meant by detonator protection for a line blockage has been included at section 2.8 (previously section 2.6). 

Section 5.1 has been amended to make it clear that a T-COD must be removed before a line blockage is given up, and to refer to the use of remotely-activated T-CODs.
