A permit-to-work system is a standard method of ensuring compliance with agreed work arrangements. It does far more than simply provide permission to carry out a potentially dangerous job. It is an integral part of a system that determines how the job is to be safely carried out and helps to communicate this to all concerned.
This permit to work training course explains the purpose of permits to work and the type of high risk that may require them. It contains vital information that anyone operating a permit-to-work system must be aware of and supports meeting legal requirements to provide sufficient training on this process.
The objectives of this course are to make trainees aware of the importance of permit-to-work systems, as well as their roles and duties in respect to them. It provides guidance on how to carry out a job safely and effectively, and communicate and report any issues while on the job.
