You use craft approval to:
Allow maintenance personnel to validate that the correct tags were chosen for the protection boundary.
Ensure that the components are properly positioned and tagged to safely support maintenance work.
In this context, the term work order can refer to a work order or a permit.
As part of the craft approval process, tags are selected and brought over to the work order.
The first craft approval for any work order on the clearance takes the clearance status to active. Following craft approval for the work order, maintenance personnel may sign on to the clearance protection. There must be at least one craft approval for each work order on a clearance, but additional shifts or crafts may also add craft approval.
Craft approval on a work order can be granted for either an original clearance or a clearance where operations has issued a revision.
The associated clearance must have a status of ready or active.
The associated clearance is not being revised.
Open the work order to which you want to add craft approval.
From the Select Action menu, select Craft Approval. The Craft Approval window opens.
Select New Row. Your user ID is displayed in the Craft Approver field and the Craft Approved Date field displays the current date and time.
Optional: Enter any required comments in the Comments field.
Depending on how your system is configured in Organizations (Nuc), you may have to select each tag that you want to include in the permit clearance protection. You then add craft approval for that protection.
Click OK. The tags are listed in the Associated Tags table of the Clearance tab.
Save the record.
