True/False
If the parameters of a Work Authority must be modified, an agreement must be reached among all involved parties (e.g., Work Authority holders, Issuing Authorities, Field Representatives, work crew members, etc.) that the proposed
modifications will neither infringe upon another Work Authority, nor jeopardize the safety of individuals currently working on the circuit or piece of equipment.
True
What happens when Work Authority boundaries require modification
Affected work shall stop.
New boundaries shall be established according to the Issuing Authority’s or Field Representative’s instruction.
A new Work Authority shall be issued immediately followed by the original Work Authority being released
Additional work may be performed while on a CLEARANCE or OK To if the following are in effect
• All work is done under the coordination and supervision of the original Work Authority holder.
• The work does not infringe upon the original, or any other associated Work Authority.
• The work is within the scope of the original Work Authority, or the original Work Authority holder has the scope amended to include the proposed
work
Who are the Issuing Authorities
• Load Dispatchers.
• Electric Trouble Dispatchers.
• Control Gorge Dispatchers.
• Power Plant 1 Control Operators.
• Facility Field Representatives (for Local Equipment).
