Permits to Work and Authorisations
One day to set up and run a permit-to-work system that genuinely protects: which jobs require one, who requests, who issues, who carries out, how to analyse risks before signing and how to close out. The exercises start from your forms and from real maintenance, cleaning or subcontracting work on your site.

Frequently asked questions
We do not have a permit system yet: does the course help create one?
Yes. We provide a permit and procedure template that the workshop adapts to your real work. You leave with a basis to validate internally and then to test on a few jobs.
Which jobs must go through a permit?
Those that your risk assessment designates as dangerous or unusual: hot work, work at height, in confined spaces, excavations, work on energy sources, work by outside companies. The list is set site by site; the course gives the criteria to draw it up.
Can outside companies take part?
It is useful for contractors present permanently, such as subcontracted maintenance: they carry out a good part of the work under permit and must understand the same rules as your issuers.
What is the difference with the prevention plan?
The prevention plan organises an outside company’s whole intervention and allocates measures between companies. The permit authorises a specific job, at a given place and for a given duration. The same job may require both.
