WE.14 Is Additional Work Required? Context

The primary objectives when executing a Task are to ensure that the work is completed when scheduled, that all required outcomes, specifications and tolerances are achieved in the allocated time, and that the sustainability (i.e. dealing responsibly with safety, the environment, employees, communities, governments and asset life) expectations of the Company are met. A secondary but important outcome when executing any work package is to look more widely at the workplace and ensure that any other identifiable defects or hazards are both corrected/controlled and recorded, or else reported in sufficient detail to allow effective planning and scheduling of the corrective or control action. If the person assigned the Task identifies additional work there are a series of decisions that they must make about how to deal with that work. Purpose To decide if there is any additional work required. Quantity One decision whether additional work is required. Quality Additional work is required if there is indication of a condition (that will not be corrected by the current work) and if not corrected could lead to:  a potential hazard with associated risks,  the business area, or part of it, not operating to specification (rate and quality),  an interruption to the business area before the next scheduled opportunity to complete the work,  increased future costs,  reduced economic life for the business area, or  a situation that results in other business areas not being able to perform to specification. Time This task shall be performed in time to meet the agreed outcomes and completion time for the Task. Resources Completion of this task is the accountability of the role nominated on the configured Work Execution flowchart.
