Permit to Work one-day in-company course

Instructions or procedures are adequate for most work activities, but some require extra care. A "permit to work" is a more formal system stating exactly what work is to be done and when, and which parts of the work are safe. A responsible person should assess the work and check safety at each stage. Employees undertaking the job sign the permit to show that they understand the risks involved and what precautions are necessary.

Employers must be aware of the regulations concerning more hazardous work activities, and ensure that they understand their duties and obligations in law. This occupational safety training course will enable managers to assess the requirements of a particular job or task, and ensure that Permit to Work documentation is completed correctly - and that employees undertaking hazardous activities are competent to do so safely.

Here is a brief summary of the course content:

Introduction
Course objectives and administrative details.

Legal responsibilities
An introduction to the legal system, including the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and relevant regulations.

Permit to Work (PTW) key players
An examination of the relationship between those issuing permits and those working under PTW.

PTW documentation
A general appraisal on the formwork used during PTW and the importance of an integrated approach to PTW use.

Practical application of PTW
A practical session including the filling in, signing and completion of PTW.

Final questions
A short session to cover any outstanding issues.
