Permit To Work
A permit to work (PTW) system ensures that formal validation and authority is given when hazardous work is to be undertaken. It ensures that all components of a Safe System Of Work are established before high-risk work commences, thereby controlling and reducing risk to individuals and the organization.
The permit to work is also a means of communication and control between site managers, site supervisors, contractors and those carrying out the hazardous work. Because of this, effective permit to work training is crucial for working safely when involved in high-risk activities.
The course is aimed at the following personnel:
-
Those responsible for implementing and operating permit to work systems
-
New employees or contractors selected by the organization for issuing and signing off permits to work
-
Existing personnel in the organization who issue and sign off permits that require formal training
