Permit to Work System

Staff should be appropriately trained on the tasks they are required to perform on site.

Relevant risk and safety information should be available to all members of the workforce, to ensure that the work is carried out safely and to a high standard.

Below is an example of how a site ensured all tasks were being performed by fully trained personnel.

• The site instituted a ‘Permit to…’ system of clearly marked HiViz vests enabling instant recognition on site by all managers observing works, such as digging, being carried out that require a permit;
• These were issued to s/c ops and supervisors with the permit and must be returned on daily expiry of permit;
• The system is being assessed for company roll out.
