The AA role is pivotal to the CoW/PTW process for the management and control of non-routine tasks. The
AA is responsible for the day-to-day management of the PTW process, task hazard identification and risk
control measures associated with work performed within allocated area of responsibility. There may be more
than one AA at any particular site. The AA shall:
Permits:

Ensure that any cancelled permits are replaced with new ones

Issue and revalidate permits

3.4.

AREA AUTHORITY DESIGNATE

The Area Authority Designate (AAD) role shall serve as a delegate for the AA role. However, the
accountability for ensuring hazards are identified and the associated risks are controlled cannot be
delegated; it is only the responsibility for carrying out certain elements of the AA role that can be delegated
by the AA to the AAD. The AA cannot delegate the responsibilities listed below:

AA accountability

Approval of Level 2 TRA (requiring AA approval as per the approval Matrix)

Control of the ICC

Worksite visit for high residual risk tasks

Attendance of the daily CoW meeting

Approval of the daily activity in the AAs area

Change of permit to work conditions (e.g. monitoring frequency)

Approval to reinstate plant and/or equipment

3.5.

AFFECTED AREA AUTHORITY (AAA) FOR SIMOPS

This applies where there is more than one AA on a site or if the activities carried out in one area impinge or
impact on activities in another area (SIMOPS). In this case, the AA shall inform all affected AAs. This role is
not an additional CoW role but the AA of the affected area is called as AAA. Other responsibilities of the
AAA remain same as the AA. The AA shall ensure that all AAAs:

Countersign the Permit to Work from the adjoining area to confirm that they are aware of the activity
taking place and that the hazards can be effectively managed with the specified controls

Communicate with personnel working within his area who may be affected by the adjacent activity to
ensure that they understand the potential impact on their activities.
