This system is a process to submit a permit to work request, receive formal approval and issue a permit. A permit is issued after the safety of the job and the site is validated. The permits are requested for potentially hazardous activities, such as:

• Hot work
• Confined space entry
• Electrical work
• Excavation
• Lifting operations
• Chemical handling
• Working at heights
• Working under water

If these tasks aren’t managed properly, it could pose significant risks. The permit-to-work system enhances operational efficiency and promotes:

• Safety of the workers by identifying hazards and executing risk control measures.
• Accountability by providing a clear trail of documentation when needed for auditing an incident or for legal conformance.
• Adequate training for workers on risks, safety measures, and permit requirements.
• Regular monitoring and supervision on safety conformance and permit conditions throughout the duration of the activity.
