  4. What is a Permit-to-Work? A permit-to-work is a document that authorises workers to carry out specific work within a specified time frame. It sets out the precautions required to complete the work safely. It describes WHAT work will be done and WHO is responsible. The permit-to-work requires declarations from the people authorising the work (Site Management Team) and those carrying out the work (employees or subcontractors). A completed Permit gives permission for work to start

  5. Why we need a Permit-to-Work? A Permit-to-Work system allows Site Managers & Supervisors to more effectively control High Risk Work, while making subcontractors and employees more accountable for safety controls.

  6. High Risk Work on Site Working at Height Permit (building a scaffold) Lifting Permit (moving large shutters) Site Management can better monitor HRW and control surrounding trades. More frequent observations may be scheduled.

  7. Permit process ** Permits are to be signed BEFORE works commence, not at the end of the day.

  8. Scenario 1 Finish Start One workgroup undertakes the same work at multiple locations on site. OnePermit can be used (max of 1 week) Why? The same person is responsible and directly in charge of the work. ** Be sure that all safety controls on the Permit can be implemented at each location.

  9. Scenario 2 Group 3 Group 2 Group 1 Multiple workgroups undertake the same work at multiple locations on site. Multiple Permits are required Why? Differentpeople are responsible and directly in charge of the seperatework areas.

  10. Reviewing Permits The Permit has been intentionally formatted for ease of use and review. Positive responses have been highlighted in grey ‘No’ responses require an explanation in the textbox provided

  11. Current Permits Working at Height Lifting Excavation Hot Work Concrete Cutting / Coring Confined Space More Permits may be added in the future.

  12. Unacceptable Permits Submissions Lorenzo Snow Whenunacceptable responses are provided, the permit will be returned to the subcontractor (or C&O employee). Work can not proceed until permit controls have been implemented

  13. Questions What permits are you currently using on site? How often are observations made to ensure that workers comply with the permit? How often are permits reissued?

  14. Conclusion • The Permit-to-Work system assists Site Management to fulfill their duty of care responsibilities involving HRW. • It also assists in the coordination of work activities and makes workers more accountable for safety.
