Permit-to-work systems are necessary for high risk activities and those that may compromise existing safety procedures. As a result, if you work in an industry that often carries out high risk work, it’s crucial that you know what a permit-to-work is and what it should cover.
This course will explain the purpose of permit-to-work systems and what type of high risk activities may require them. It covers what sections a permit should contain, who has the responsibility for preparing them, and the duties of everyone who will need to carry out work covered by a permit.
On completion of the course, you will understand how to prepare a permit, or how to follow it if your workplace receives one, so you can ensure everyone carries out high risk work safely. This can include permits relating to confined spaces , electrical isolations, working at heights, excavations, use of ladders etc.
Our training is designed to provide best practise for trades staff and supervisors/managers [i.e. those carrying out the work and the manager/supervisor overseeing it]
By the end of this course, you will:
- Understand what types of work may require a permit-to-work and why
