work permit

Purpose

The purpose of this Permit-to-Work (PTW) procedure is to ensure that hazardous work is performed safely.

Scope

This PTW procedure applies to all hazardous work performed in the workplace. Hazardous work is any work that has the potential to cause serious injury or death to employees, contractors, or visitors to the workplace.

Responsibilities

  • Permit issuer: The permit issuer is responsible for issuing PTWs and for ensuring that all of the requirements of the PTW procedure are met.
  • Permit holder: The permit holder is responsible for ensuring that the work is performed safely and in accordance with the PTW.
  • Employees: All employees are responsible for following the PTW procedure and for reporting any unsafe conditions to their supervisor.

Procedure

To obtain a PTW, the permit holder must complete a PTW application form. The permit application form must include the following information:

  • The type of work to be performed
  • The location of the work
  • The date and time the work is to be performed
  • The names of the employees who will be performing the work
  • The hazards associated with the work
  • The controls that will be used to mitigate the hazards

The permit issuer will review the PTW application form and issue a PTW if all of the requirements of the PTW procedure are met. The PTW will specify the following information:

  • The type of work to be performed
  • The location of the work
  • The date and time the work is to be performed
  • The names of the employees who will be performing the work
  • The hazards associated with the work
  • The controls that will be used to mitigate the hazards
  • Any special instructions

The permit holder must sign the PTW to acknowledge that they understand and agree to comply with all of the requirements of the PTW.

The permit holder must keep the PTW with them at all times while the work is being performed. The permit holder must also ensure that all employees performing the work are aware of the PTW requirements.

The work must be performed in accordance with the PTW. If there are any changes to the work, the permit holder must obtain a new PTW.

The PTW must be cancelled when the work is complete or when the PTW expires.

Additional Considerations

The PTW procedure should be tailored to the specific needs of the company and its workplace. It is important to involve employees in the development and implementation of the procedure to ensure that it is effective and easy to follow.

The PTW procedure should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis to ensure that it is effective and up-to-date.
