Endorse a SIMOPS Permit

Status: Awaiting Verification (SIMOPS) Awaiting Verification (SIMOPS) → Awaiting Verification Awaiting Verification

Endorse a permit for simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) so it can move on to verification.

When to use

Use this task only when the permit has SIMOPS selected. After validation, such a permit goes to Awaiting Verification (SIMOPS) for endorsement before the normal verification step.

Before you start — check before launching the task
  • You hold the SIMOPS Endorsing Authority role (typical position: SIMOPS Coordinator).
  • You understand the simultaneous operations and co-activities around the work.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the permit in Awaiting Verification (SIMOPS) from your worklist. This task exists only when the SIMOPS checkbox was ticked by the Permit Requester on the request form — a manual checkbox that adds no extra fields at request, but routes the permit here after validation.
    Open a permit awaiting SIMOPS endorsement.
  2. Review the simultaneous operations and co-activities affecting the work.
  3. Sign Verification by SIMOPS Endorsing Authority. A remark is mandatory. This endorsement must be signed before the Operating Authority and HSE can verify — their Sign buttons stay disabled until then (“Verification by SIMOPS Endorsing Authority signature is required.”, confirmed in UAT).
    Endorsement is signed first; OA and HSE stay blocked until then.

Expected result

The permit moves from Awaiting Verification (SIMOPS) to Awaiting Verification. The next task is Verify a Permit (Operating Authority & HSE).

Key Referentiel rules

  1. Simultaneous operations and co-activity risks must be taken into account when coordinating planned work. (CR-GR-HSE-402, Req 3.4.1)
  2. The risk analysis includes interferences generated by identified simultaneous operations or co-activities. (CR-GR-HSE-402, Req 3.2.1)

Tips & pitfalls

Tip — a remark is required. Record what simultaneous operations were considered.

Pitfall — endorsing without checking nearby activities. SIMOPS endorsement is about interactions between concurrent jobs, not just this permit.

Common mistakes

Endorsing without reviewing concurrent operations Unmanaged interaction risks between simultaneous jobs
