Permits to Work
The permits to work training course explores the essential elements of permits to work systems and what type of high-risk activities may require them.
A permit to work system is a formal written system used to control certain types of work that are potentially hazardous. A permit to work is a document that specifies the work to be done and the precautions to be taken. Permits-to-work form an essential part of safe systems of work for many maintenance activities. They allow work to start only after safe procedures have been defined and they provide a clear record that all foreseeable hazards have been considered.
This course is ideal for health and safety managers and line managers responsible for higher risk activities, particularly where third-party contractors are employed.
