Trainees who attend this course should have some knowledge of their own company’s permit system. If possible, we like them to bring their own permit documents to the course so they can relate the concepts to their specific practice. This is especially important for any trainees who may be going to issue permits.
The Permit to Work system is designed to protect people, assets and the environment from any danger or damage when work that carries risk is performed. It documents a contract between the Permit Issuer and the Permit Receiver. It predetermines:
- the specific work to be carried out
- its location
- the known and potential risks associated with the work and the environment
- the required methods of control
- coordination and communication of hazardous activities in hazardous areas
We provide courses that covers both receiving and issuing worksite specific work permits. The NZQA standards covered are:
- 17588 Apply for, accept, and carry out work according to a work permit in the workplace.
This course is for trainees who will be permit receivers. It will improve their understanding of the concepts if they are familiar with their own permit to work system.
- 17590 Issue worksite specific permits.
This course is for those with the responsibility to issue permits to work. Trainees need to have prior knowledge of their own company’s permit system and documents. We encourage them to bring these to the course.
A refresher course is recommended every two years.
The course covers all the requirements of work permits and has a strong practical aspect.
Hazard ID
We frequently include Hazard ID with our Permit to Work courses. This is US 30265 Apply health and safety risk assessment to a job role. This course compliments the Permit to Work course, as those issuing (or receiving Permits) must understand the processes involved in identifying hazards and controlling risk.
