Which set of steps ensures the B28 system remains compliant after permit changes?

• A. Reassess risk, update procedures, retrain personnel, and update permits to reflect changes.
• B. Reassess risk, retrain personnel, and update permits to reflect changes.
• C. Reassess risk, update procedures, and update permits to reflect changes.
• D. Update procedures, retrain personnel, and update permits to reflect changes.

Answer: (A)

When permit changes occur on a B28 system, you must re-check the overall risk, adjust the operating framework, train the crew, and update the official permit documents. Reassessing risk first is crucial because it reveals any new hazards or shifts in likelihood and severity caused by the changes, guiding what controls are actually needed. Updating procedures comes next to embed those controls and reflect any new steps or standards in how the system is operated. Then training ensures everyone understands and can follow the revised procedures, reducing the chance of human error. Finally, updating the permits keeps the formal authorization current and aligned with the real setup and practices, which is essential for compliance and audits. Skipping any of these steps can leave practices out of date, workers unprepared for the new requirements, or the paperwork not reflecting reality, all of which harm safety and compliance.
