1. It is the responsibility of employees to remove their own safety locks and tags when the work is completed or when the department head confirms that the work has been completed.

2.. When employees leave and remember that they left security locks and security plates on site, it is their responsibility to call and report the details to the supervisor of the relevant department, or report to the security guard so that the security guard can notify the relevant supervisor.

3. If safety plates and locks are left on the site but not removed, only the site supervisor of the authorized employee department can remove them with the consent of the supervisor of the affected department.
