PROVIDING A STRUCTURED METHOD APPLIEDTO WORK PRACTICES TO MITIGATE THE RISKOF ACCIDENTS DURING WORK ACTIVITIES
Q4 Risk Assessment (RA) supports the identification of hazards relating to each step of a work task and assists in the nominationof suitable controls and precautions to reduce the safety risks to acceptable levels.Note the terms Job Safety Analysis (JSA),Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and Task Risk Assessment (TRA) imply the same process.
FEATURING
LESSONS LEARNED
The ability to record lessons learned froma task allows users to capture information on hazards encountered during and on completion of work tasks.
This safety knowledge base is automatically triggered to display appropriate informationto system users as future documents are being processed based on applicable plant, zone, location, isolation points and work type. In addition the system offers MOC control of recorded information to address and eliminate such hazards in the future.
CLEAR WORKING PARTY COMMUNICATION
Job Safety Analysis provides the work team with identified hazards, controls, barriers and safety documents that require communicating priorto work commencement. The JSA can act asor support a Toolbox Talk where individualinput, agreement, roles and responsibilitiescan be agreed with the working party priorto starting work.
DYNAMIC MONITORING
The team should remain aware of the potential for new hazards as work progresses and not become complacent. If necessary, they should STOP THE JOB and re-assess the task. Note Q4 RA/JSA provides the ability to re-assess andre-approve the JSA.

THE STAGES OF JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS
Following task definition the job can be broken down into a series of work steps, each being recorded on the JSA. Each work step is then analyzed separately to determine the potential hazards related to it.
A client-specific Hazard Tree is provided to stimulate thought and to assist in defining the hazards and controls of each work step.

The system is designed to configure all types of safety documents, both on-screen and hardcopy, to match required formats.
Other features include management of awareness, concurrence, lessons learned, roles and skills.
TEMPLATES
Permits from previous jobs or templatepermits can be used to create new Permits.This facility provides significant time saving benefits and is particularly useful forrepeated Outage or Shutdown work.
DOCUMENT FLOW
Q4 Safety controls the sequence of status changes a Permit is moved through during its life cycle with its flow engine. The software ensures that all necessary procedures and authorizations are completed before movingto the next stage in the sequence.
If a non-compliant action is attempted the software prevents the user from proceeding and notifies them of the missing step or information.
Q4 Safety manages the entire Permit process, including: granting permission, preparing and approving a Permit, issuing it for work to commence and closing it following job completion. Any work scope alterations and shift changes are also supported by the software as well as work conflict detectionand notification.

ISOLATIONS AND CONTROL
Q4 Safety contains features to manage the entire isolation process with controls and checks to support logical process flow,ensuring the synchronization of plant isolation with Permits.
The software guides users through the process of creating an Isolation Certificate, (Classified Isolation Certificates or Isolations on a Permit) by selecting the isolations required while checking if they are already being sharedby other work.
Q4 Safety Isolation Manager controls the sequence of status changes that an Isolation Certificate is moved through during its life cycle. The workflow engine ensures that all necessary procedures and authorizations are completed before moving to the nextstage in the sequence.
If required, the IC can be configured to work with a Sanction to Test or Equipment Testing Certificate to control the release of isolations for testing in a safe manner.
The isolation and de-isolation process can be managed with Lock or Tag control and Q4 Safety also features a mechanism for cross locking to assist in situations where complex cross lock procedures are required.

USING ISOLATION MANAGER TOOLS
To support the creation of Isolation Certificates a hierarchical plant isolation register can be used to select and add individual isolationsor groups of isolations. Users can then specify the sequence and method of isolation required for work to commence safely.
The isolation and de-isolation process can be managed with Lock or Tag control. Q4 Safety gives engineers the ability to print outIsolation Lists and Tags that can be taken to the worksite and used to carry out the required isolations which are then recorded on theIsolation Certificate as having been applied.
When printed, the Certificate will display the choice of isolation points and the configuration condition required to make the plant safe along with key safes and keys (if used).

Q4 Safety facilitates barcode tag labels and RFID plant item identification technology. Intrinsically safe mobile devices can be used to upload the specified isolation points from Isolation Certificates in order to provide plant engineers the ability to locate and confirm the isolation points as specified.
Appropriate isolation sequence and individual points are provided to the user to perform and confirm the work using RFID plant identification and matching tag label bar codes. On completion, the information can then be uploaded to affirm specified isolation points have been applied. The system facilitates de-isolation procedures in a similar manner.

Implementation
OUR APPROACH
Q4 systems are not just items of software, they are business solutions and we treat each implementation of our products as a complete business project.
Based on our experiences of implementing our Q4 solutions through a wide variety of industries, we have developed an implementation methodology which has now become a fundamental part of our solution.
Central to this methodology is the partnership we build with our client during the project allowing the team to combine our in-depth knowledge of the product and past usage with the client’s understanding of their own work practices and requirements.

GO-LIVE
With preparation, configuration, testing and training completed we reach the moment everyone has been working for – go-live.Staff should be aware of the impending switch from an existing system to an electronic system from a combination of a co-ordinated awareness campaign and roll-out training.
Final data is set up, software is installed and tested on user workstations and key users are selected to begin the process of using the system to process live data.
Engica provides on-site support to staff during this early confidence-building stage and finally the project is signed off and formally handed over to the Engica Support Departmentwho provide ongoing support as required.

PREPARATION
The initial stage will confirm the objectives and scope of the project, identify tasks to be carried out and determine software configuration.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
This stage involves making the baseline software work the way a customer wants.A core element to this process is to build aset of WYSIWYGs (What You See Is What You Get). These are data input screens that closely resemble the resulting hard copy printouts and rule logic.
TESTING
Testing is normally split into two phases, Factory Acceptance Tests (FATS) and Site Acceptance Tests (SATS).
TRAINING
While Super-Users and the Customer Project Manager will have undergone sufficient training to enable them to participate in tasks such as process mapping, FATS and SATS, additional staff training is still required.
Formal, role-specific training and assessment materials have to be prepared, IT staff need formal training on system administration and we normally attend initial roll-out trainingsessions led by the Super-Users to provide confidence.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
A core design goal of all Q4 systems is to provide you with a system that adapts to your process and required safety documents, rather than forcing procedural change to match the software.
The Q4 architecture allows the system to be configured to precise requirements using instruction sets that are utilized by the Q4 Engine. Some of the common configurationfeatures are described on this page:
USER SCREEN PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES
The Q4 system includes the ability to operate client-specific forms for all document types in the form of software screens that closely represent the paper Job Safety Analysis, Permits and Certificates.
The system supports any number of types, each of which has its own layout, logic and data to provide users with immediate familiarity and rule base.
HARD COPY CERTIFICATES AND PERMITS
The format of printed Permits and documents is also client specific. Engica has implemented different sizes, colors, styles, watermarks, single/double side and continuation sheet handling on many printer types.
ISOLATION AND LOCK OUT/ TAG OUT METHODS
The software can be configured to match the full range of methods used by different companies for Isolation procedures with features and process flow to support theuse of Isolation Certificates or the alternative method of showing Isolations on Permits.
A range of lock out/tag out methods are matched to suit client preference suchas key safes/lock boxes, lock bars andtagging systems.

No Compromise
SAFETY DOCUMENT STATE FLOWS
Q4 documents such as Risk Assessments, Permits and Certificates are controlled through a configurable status engine. This controls the possible status of documents, the authorized changes to status and the levels of authority and data integrity required to make the status change.
This mechanism validates both the user and the data before allowing a change. State-flow also encompasses email, concurrence, notifications, lessons learned, gas testing andmany other trigger features to support the safety process.
CONFIGURABLE HAZARDS AND CONTROL LIBRARY
The Q4 Risk Assessment process is supported by a “baseline” hazard tree. This can be changed by the client to contain their own applicable hazards and potential controls. The tree can be added to and developed by the client to evolve as new hazards and controls are recognized through work tasks.
SECURITY
Q4 systems offer advanced configurable security features extending to single sign-on, security switching, role and skill matching.
WORK MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION
Q4 Safety can be seamlessly integrated to work management systems via the Q4 API. A number of leading systems are integrated to date.
LANGUAGE
Q4 systems are designed to work in and switch instantly to multiple languages and can have new languages added as required.
INTEGRATION
Q4 systems are ideal for integration to other systems. The multi-tier object-orientated architecture with its fully exposed API is designed to communicate with such systems as MSDS, DMS, LOLER, CMMS, and many more.
