Course description
Permit to Work
A permit to work system ensures that formal validation and authority is given from an authorised person 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, supervisors, contractors and those carrying out the hazardous work.
All corporate courses available for a minimum of 5 participants. Please contact us for more information.
