Permit to Work Training
This course explains what a permit-to-work system is, when it is used and how it controls high-risk, non-routine work such as hot work, confined space entry and work on electrical or pressurised systems. You will learn the key roles, each stage of the permit lifecycle, how permits link to isolation, and the common failures that lead to incidents. It is awareness training and does not replace practical training, competence or your employer's own permit-to-work procedures.
