Permit to Work
• What is a Permit-to-Work• Why we need a Permit-to-Work system• The Permit process• Reviewing the Permit• What to do when completed permits are not acceptable
Outcome
Our Safety Culture requires
1. A permit-to-work is a document that authorises workers to carry out specific work within a specified time frame.
2. It sets out the precautions required to complete the work safely.
3. It describes WHAT work will be done and WHO is responsible.
4. The permit-to-work requires declarations from the people authorising the work (Site Management Team) and those carrying out the work (employees or subcontractors).
5. A completed Permit gives permission for work to start
What is a Permit-to-Work?
• A Permit-to-Work system allows Site Managers & Supervisors to more effectively control High Risk Work, while making subcontractors and employees more accountable for safety controls.
Why we need a Permit-to-Work?
Site Management can better monitor HRW and control surrounding trades. More frequent observations may be scheduled.
High Risk Work on Site
Working at Height Permit (building a scaffold)
Lifting Permit
(moving large shutters)
Step 1
• Permit issued by Site Manager, Supervisor or Safety Representative (complete valid FROM & TO field)
Step 2
• Permit taken to worksite and completed by subcontractor or C&O employee
Step 3
• Permit returned to Site Manager / Supervisor for approval
Step 4
• Permit thoroughly reviewed and signed by Site Manager / Supervisor**
Step 5
• Work can commence
Permit process
** Permits are to be signed BEFORE works commence, not at the end of the day.
One workgroup undertakes the same work at multiple locations on site.
One Permit can be used (max of 1 week)
Why? The same person is responsible and directly in charge of the work.
** Be sure that all safety controls on the Permit can be implemented at each location.
Scenario 1
Start
Finish
Multiple workgroups undertake the same work at multiple locations on site.
Multiple Permits are required
Why? Different people are responsible and directly in charge of the seperate work areas.
Scenario 2
Group 1
Group 3
Group 2
• The Permit has been intentionally formatted for ease of use and review.
• Positive responses have been highlighted in grey
• ‘No’ responses require an explanation in the textbox provided
Reviewing Permits
• Working at Height• Lifting• Excavation• Hot Work• Concrete Cutting / Coring• Confined Space
• More Permits may be added in the future.
Current Permits
• When unacceptable responses are provided, the permit will be returned to the subcontractor (or C&O employee).
• Work can not proceed until permit controls have been implemented
Unacceptable Permits Submissions
Lorenzo Snow
• What permits are you currently using on site?• How often are observations made to ensure that workers comply
with the permit?• How often are permits reissued?
Questions
Conclusion
The Permit-to-Work system assists Site Management to fulfill their duty of care responsibilities involving HRW.
It also assists in the coordination of work activities and makes workers more accountable for safety.
