Stop Work Authority
Harvey Gulf has well established Stop Work Authority (SWA) for all vessel, company, visitor, and contractors when on our work sites. Every employee, contractor, and visitor has both the authority and the obligation to stop work when they observe a potential hazard or potentially hazardous situation.
Principles
- —Stop Work Authority is granted to every person on a Harvey Gulf work site
- —No employee will be penalized for exercising Stop Work Authority in good faith
- —All stop work events are documented and reviewed for corrective action
- —Near miss reporting is encouraged to prevent incidents before they occur
- —Management supports and reinforces a culture where speaking up is expected
