Course Overview

These days, in almost every sphere of work, health and safety management and environmental protection have taken priority among all aspects of management focus. Safety has been important from early times, but the kind of focus and steps in that direction have evolved over time.

Permit to work systems refers to management systems used to ensure work is done efficiently and, most importantly, safely.

Permit to work systems consists of all processes and procedures to request, review, authorise, document and clarify tasks to be undertaken by frontline workers.
