STOP WORK AUTHORITY
Description
Stop Work Authority (SWA) provides employees and contract workers with the responsibility and obligation to stop work when a perceived unsafe condition or behaviour may result in an unwanted event. Performing a Stop Work Authority to correct safety hazards and halt potential unsafe actions before they happen is not only responsible, but also effective. In the oil and gas industry in recent years, it’s been one of the most successful approaches to safety.
