A permit to work system involves issuing a written permit that authorises specific work to be done under controlled conditions.

The permit outlines the scope of work, identifies potential hazards, and specifies safety measures and precautions to be taken. It requires approval from authorized personnel and is typically used for high-risk activities such as working at heights, in confined spaces, or with hazardous materials.

This system helps manage risks, ensures compliance with safety regulations, and protects workers and the environment.
