Permit to Work

This is a 1 day course

If you have 4 or more delegates we can schedule a course for you, or run it in-house. Please contact us online or call us on 0115 984 9940 for more details.

A permit to work 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 organisation. 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.

The course is aimed at the following personnel:

  • Those responsible for implementing permit to work systems
  • New employees selected by the organisation for issuing and signing off permits to work
  • Existing personnel in the organisation who issue and sign off permits that require formal training

By the end of the Permit to Work course, delegates will have a detailed awareness and understanding of:

  • The necessity for permits to work, including high risk activities
  • The function and role of a permit to work within the overall risk control framework
  • The typical contents of a permit to work
  • The procedure for issuing a permit to work
  • The cessation and termination of a permit
  • The responsibilities of the issuer and receiver of the permit
  • Potential difficulties and solutions with the permit to work system

In addition, delegates will explore a number of case studies highlighting the importance of ensuring the permit to work systems are operating effectively, for example the Piper Alpha case study.

This training course can be tailored to include details of your company-specific permit to work system. In this case, our health and safety consultants will require details of your system and sample forms for inclusion prior to the course.
