Permit to work (system)


A formal written system used to control certain types of work which are identified as hazardous.
It is also a means of communication between site/installation management, plant supervisors
and operators and those who carry out the work.
Essential features of a Permit to Work are:
• Clear identification of who may authorize particular jobs (and any limits to their authority)
and who is responsible for specifying the necessary precautions.
• Training and instruction in the issue and use of permits.
• Monitoring and auditing to ensure that the system works as intended.
