It is a working guide: not an official form or legal advice, and each company is responsible for how it uses it.
Fyware develops virtual reality training tailored to your plant: the energy lockout, the maneuver or the equipment your people need to practice before doing it for real.
SIISA Consultores (site in Spanish and English), serving all of Mexico, delivers work at heights and aerial work platform courses with a DC-3 certificate signed by its STPS-registered instructor, and rents aerial work platforms. It is a Fyware partner.
No. NOM-009-STPS-2011 sets what the written authorization must contain (7.2): the worker, the type of work and the location, the measures from the analysis, the start date and time with the estimated duration, and the name and signature of the authorizer. It does not publish a form, and its guides are not mandatory.
NOM-009 applies to work more than 1.80 m above the reference level and, at any height, to the risk of falling through openings such as pits or holes (4.33). Written authorization is expressly required with tower scaffolds, suspended scaffolds or aerial work platforms (5.3); otherwise, the work is done by trained and authorized personnel (7.2).
No standard sets a validity period. The authorization carries the start date and time and the estimated duration (NOM-009 7.2 d; NOM-029 7.1 f). The 8 or 12 hours seen on some forms are internal company rules; the prudent choice is to keep it within the shift and to issue a new one if the weather, equipment or crew changes.
